    As a Sonic fan, I loved the hell out of this title. By far my favorite Sonic game

    This is THE Sonic game to play. It’s story is large and dips into Sonic lore a bit (Something we haven’t seen since Unleashed). It’s an open-zone playground with fun platforming and tricks to go on. The combat system is great and works really well with the enemies you fight in the game. The Boss fights are also a treat when you get to them, they’re probably the best the series has seen.This is THE Sonic game to play.

The OST is great as well. Getting Kellin Quinn to make a few tracks was a very good option with the direction of this game. Overall it’s a very solid Sonic title and I definitely recommend giving this one a shot! Expand

    While far from perfect, this is still a spectacular sonic Adventure that's very fun to play through From beginning to end.

    I love how this game improves the Sonic formula. The story is much better compared to Forces and I absolutely adore the new characters. I am so happy that SEGA finally made a good Sonic game after Generations.

    Finally. We got a really high quality Sonic game. The series has again become canon in conjunction with the plot, which is interesting to follow. The "chemistry" of the characters, emotions are sometimes breathtaking, and coupled with a wonderful soundtrack, they cause a wow effect. I was also pleased with the length of the game.

    One of the best Sonic games I´ve played for a long time and I think Frontiers is also on my first place.
    Had the best 20 Hours of high-speed action, collecting stuff and solving puzzles.
    Super Sonic fights are awesome and the in-game music is a banger. The pop-ins didn´t mind me, I still had the best experience. Modding the game will be very awesome and I will spend more time with

    I´m looking forward for SA3 and I´m very happy, that Sonic Frontiers was so great for me!
    Good job Sega!

    Has a few tiny shortcomings but the positives outweigh any negativity I could say, by far the best Controlling 3D Sonic in the past 15 or so years, and finally a good, engaging story, and holy damn... Super Sonic is the best he has ever been freaking EVER.

    OST also goes extremely hard but that's a given when it comes to Sonic.

    This is the sonic game I have been waiting for for 5 years and I am so happy with the result. There are some handling issues when sonic runs around the islands. The story is super good and Is a vast improvement over the likes of gents or colors and especially forces.

There are some issues with pop-in on consoles, but that is the fault of the hedgehog engine more than anything. I am so glad that the characters in this game don't have cringy stories and bad backgrounds, in this game sonic, tails, Amy, and knuckles all have amazing stories. The cutscene animation in terms of expressiveness and movement is amazing dare I say unleashed level. The combat in this game is great, there is a skill tree with many different combos and attacks that flow well in the game. The combat is not button-mashy. There are some minor bugs but I've gotta say sonic fans are eatin tonight. Sonic is back baby!!! Expand

    I played sonic a lot as a kid on game gear, had kids, one loves sonic, tried the most modern games and felt they were lacking. This was very welcome change from the others I tried recently (forces) and would suggest anyone to give it a shot

    Sonic is back and better than ever. The world is fun and innovative, Sonic and his friends are written the best they've ever been, and Sonic has the most versatility and control in his moveset that he's ever had and its an absolute blast. If you're on the fence, dont be - you wont want to miss it

    This was the best step forward the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise could've ever made, the open zone plays fantastically and Sonic controls better than he ever has, great job Sonic Team! Can't wait to see what they bring us next

    This game is what Sonic fans have been wanting for years. The game play is incredibly fun. The cyber space stages feel familiar and the layouts of older levels really rewards long time fans. The sense of speed and scale is very well done. Of course, the combat is also very well done. The power you feel by destroying enemies is very real.

    Of course, there is some jank and a few graphical

    Of course, there is some jank and a few graphical glitches. It happens, but it never once took away from my experience or my enjoyment of the game. The Super Sonic fights are the best we have ever seen and the OST is yet again top notch. If you love Sonic and if you want to see a successful future for our blue boy, support this game and play it, I guarantee you'll love it. And please, go in without spoilers. It's worth it

    I'd say that it is the best Sonic game since.... forever honestly, even tho it has a lot of flaws (who doesn't have lol, even Adventure 2 was riddle with them and it's easily in the top3 of almost all Sonic fans) the game is still incredibly fun and it CLEARLY worth it's price tag too

    Greatest Sonic game ever made, period.

    Definitely the best game in the franchise since sonic unleashed

    If Sonic Team can learn from the good and bad in this game the next game will be a masterpiece.

    This is the best 3D Sonic game ever made since Sonic Adventure 1. Every island is good and with unique enemies and a story so well written that is gonna make a revolution in Sonic franchise. The only mistake is pop in but it doesn't affect gameplay.

Some of the speed strats in cyber space stages now are insane. and Sonic is the fastest he's ever been and you can rank up his speed to 99 and even apply a power boost and infinite boost to it with 400 rings and drawing an infinity symbol, gotta go fast. it even has franchise continuity with all past games and characters referenced.

    Sonic's entry into new, for him, gaming paths is overall successful, despite any problems. With a little polish and attention to detail, the next game in the series has the foundations in place to finally look eternal rival Mario in his three-dimensional, bubbly eyes.

    As a 3D Sonic a step in the right direction. The open world has a lot to offer but gets lost in redundancy.
