Great game that I can't help but highly recommend to everyone.… Expand

    Sonic is finally back, this game is the best since Unleashed, period. Besides some flaws, its a solid 9/10.

    Definitely the best game in the franchise since sonic generations (better than generations if you ask me) The game definitely has problems such as pop-in, camera issues, and other various bugs (may be fixed in a patch soon) but the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot. The story is great and well written definitely the best story since sonic unleashed.

    Best game of the year!!!!!!

    Sonic is Back!!!!

    one of the best games out there this year full of fun and action accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. Do you also notice that some supposed ""experts"" gave it a 20 and that is supposed to be a professional critic?

    I was a bit scared at first thinking that this game may have ended up to be a huge dumpster fire getting my hopes up and being trash just like forces. But in the end it ended up being one of the best sonic games since sonic unleashed.

    With this game Sonic Team have struck gold, although this game has alot of jank there is alot of potential if they do this again but with more polish.. Speedrunning this game is alot of fun and running around can be very fun too. This is a very promising start and deserves a 8/10 from me

    8 hours of gameplay and I'm still far from halfway through! I'm completely in love and not believing it. It's been a long time since I felt such a good feeling with a game, not necessarily Sonic, but in general. It may have a few pop-ins here and there, a few small bugs but nothing that drastically interferes with gameplay!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Going into Frontiers as a long time sonic fan i was worried that we'd be in for another stinker. But it's precisely BECAUSE I've been with the franchise for so long that i loved this game to bits. It felt like it was made for me. The over the top anime boss fights, the more serious tone, the dialogue all contributed to a fantastic experience. It wasn't perfect though. There was some really bad pop in and Sonic's ground momentum felt weird which is a shame because otherwise he controls perfectly. The ending also felt rushed. As if they were like "oh **** We need something BIGGER to fight than the titans! **** it, throw the moon at them lmao." In that sense Frontiers could be a studio Trigger anime. Either way it was a great time and i cant wait for the next one. Sonic is back.… Expand

The controls are excellent, the design of the islands are immaculate with loads of fun challenges to do, the story is outstanding with top-tier writing from Ian Flynn of the IDW comics, the game-play is fantastic with lots of variety coupled with an awesome new combat system and some of the most PHENOMENAL boss fights in all of gaming, and the music throughout is GOD TIER with a beautiful mix of orchestral piano themes and some of the HEAVIEST Metal tracks of the whole series!!

    It legitimately upsets me to see some outlets low-balling it and giving it a much lower score than it deserves! Don't listen to outlets like 7GN & Digital Trends, this game is absolutely worth the $60-70!

    Sure it has pop-in issues and sure the Cyberspace stages are reused themes and assets, but honestly all the incredible aspects far outweigh the negatives!

    Easily a Top 3 Sonic game alongside Mania and Adventure 2! Cannot recommend it highly enough!!    … Expand

    -Interesting story
    -Sonic serious
    -Beautiful atmosphere
    -Fast yet precise gameplay
    -Both the cyberspace and the world are fun
    -Some textures and a few shadows are weak even on full graphics.

Boss fights are epic, combat is not just a button smasher while keeping it friendly for newcomers... This is a very good game. Hope we get fixes for popping and a boss fight select to replay those epic fights.… Expand

    No game is perfect, but this game is really good, I would give it a 9 because I’m a Sonic Fan, but I would be too biased. Anyway, 06 was 16 (f word) years ago. Who. Cares. It was bad? Yes, maybe. However it isn’t that bad to be still talked 16 years later. Grow up. Anyway, back to Frontiers review.

    “Uh, Sonic should’ve died in 2D” What about Mario then? “Same thing for Mario” No. After    No game is perfect, but this game is really good, I would give it a 9 because I’m a Sonic Fan, but I would be too biased.

    “Uh, Sonic should’ve died in 2D”

    What about Mario then?

    “Same thing for Mario”

    No. After 10 years of cringe-jokes, bad writing we finally got a game where Sonic takes itself seriously again. It was never meant for kids. It was meant for everyone. Yeah the movies did him dirty (I’m not saying the movies are bad, they are REALLY good. Thing is, they made Sonic character for kids. It make sense since he’s still a kid there but then everyone will think he is. When he’s not.)

    “Image being a kid, he would be bored playing this game”

    Are you that kid? Stop self projecting. Why we have to treat Kids like they are stupid? Super Paper Mario was 14 years ago. Do I really have to explain what I’m saying? That game aged like fine wine. Bowser’s Inside Story is another one. And this will do the same because it’s good. It’s so good. Cyberspace is the “eh, okay” of the game, I see the potential, it can be improved. And here I thought I would hate this game, I hate open worlds and I don’t like Zelda at all, but I respect it because that’s just me, Zelda makes good games. Wait, silly me, this is an “Open Zone” game (coping? Maybe) but well, I liked it. Maybe that’s why it worked. I recommend it to you all.    … Expand

    Sonic Frontier is a very fast-paced game on a huge map. And it is an open world 3D action RPG game. Ninja, Naruto, Inuyasha, Sekiro, Ookami, and Son Goku such as Ninja, Naruto, Goku, etc. are the best in this game where you can run at super fast speeds and have fun fighting.

    While there is a bit of jank. This game definitely captures the feel of Sonic and is such a love letter to fans of the franchise! All of the great things about this title outweigh the minor flaws and Sega definitely poured their heart and soul into this game, it clearly delivers as the greatest Sonic game I have ever played

    A very promising game that fails to deliver in some places.

    Pros: - Running around and general movement is fun - The best Sonic has controlled in 3D for years(in the open world, not cyberspace) - Bosses are a step up from past games and have some cool moments - While I don't like the weird pacing of the story, I do think this game does a great job at characterizing Sonic and his    A very promising game that fails to deliver in some places.

    - Running around and general movement is fun
    - The best Sonic has controlled in 3D for years(in the open world, not cyberspace)
    - Bosses are a step up from past games and have some cool moments
    - While I don't like the weird pacing of the story, I do think this game does a great job at characterizing Sonic and his friends compared to past games, setting up possibilities for future games
    - Combat is interesting and can be pretty addicting, but I do think there should have been more variety in the abilities though(most of them do the same thing just with a different animation)
    - Serves as a great foundation for future games to improve on
    - Amazing OST

    Cons:
    - Very unpolished and janky
    - Most of the platforming and obstacles you traverse in the world are just placed haphazardly around the world using default assets(but I do like how you can unlock rails to connect them together)
    - The third island of the game has majority 2D sections and is *extremely* poorly designed (and the fourth and fifth islands are just extended versions of the first?)
    - Uninspired minigames, island designs, and puzzles
    - Very noticeable pop in that can actually hinder the gameplay at some points

    Overall, for a Sonic game, I'd say it's one of the best. It was fun to play through for the most part, and the length of it was sufficient as well. However, the game has many areas for improvement that i'd like to see in the next game; the formula is great and I think they can pull off a real banger if they fix most of these issues.    … Expand

    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.
