    Sonic Frontiers is a nice adventure/rpg style game. The story is pretty good. You got 4-5 large worlds. The graphics are excellent. The speed of the game is surprisingly fast at time. Very nice sounds, voice overs and music. That said there are some annoyance. The first Titan is kind of a pain to beat. Wyvern is also painful the firt time you meat him because it's a bad sequence.

Certains stages gives you a very poor sens of perspective. And the Tomb puzzle is absolutely atrocious. That said, overall the gameplay is pretty tight. The items are getting a bit useless around the end, and the fishing part is kind of cheating on the levels. But even that is acceptable for players that don't want to grind forever. I give it 85%. I enjoyed it a lot. It lasted around 22-24 hours.… Expand

    It's good fun, innit? Just don't expect too much replayability. After playing this game through all the way twice it can get boring (but that's why you get the PC version! Mods are a gift, use them.)

The story is amazing, with all the intricacy in one singular bag. The secret boss is very easy once you memorize all of it's attacks, they also help you if you die too much on it, you go from 3 lives to 5 lives, very beneficial! Though I did not go there as once I memorized The End's attacks, I no damaged it. This game is just astronomical, in nearly every regard, hard to find games like that these days, which is no more than a detriment to how much fun you want to have IN a game. Glad there's some hope to be found. This being one of the main candidates.    … Expand

I hope Sonic Frontiers 2 will have also Open Zones but this time in Perfect! Where the False thinks from Frontiers get removed because the Pop-Ins and stuff like that is anoying af.

    Is this game perfect? No. However, this is quite possibly the most brain-numbing fun I have had playing a viedo game in a while.

However, I have to say that in the traditional style cyber space stages, Sonic does feel a little slow, particullarly in the 2D sections. In open zone however, Sonic feels quite responsive to control and moving around feels quite smooth. The boss fights are also the peak of the game's gameplay, however, I feel like they could have bumped up the health of those bosses a bit, giving you more of insentive to gather the seeds to power up Sonic as well as giving you a challenge at the end of each island. The overall story is a pretty mixed, but the characterization and course correction of certain characters was handled so well. I particullarly enjoyed how the writers handled Eggman in this game which actually results in a pretty sad conclusion to his arc in this game. Overall, if this is the new direction SEGA and Sonic Team is taking this series in, I feel very confident about Sonic's future.… Expand

    Sonic Is Finally Back!!

    Sonic Frontiers brings back the old Dreamcast days of Sonic Adventure Hub Worlds And Generations Styled Levels and make them very refreshed and refined for a new generation. though some parts can be a pain sometimes this game wants you to keep on going to get to the ending of the fantastic story this is up their with Super Mario Odyssey 100/100

    The open world is fun to run around in, but doing any of the tasks within are boring. The combat has a lot of "needless depth" to it, where you CAN do all these bigger moves and combos, but your basic abilities more than suffice. The enemies are generic and bland as well, variations of "small shiny black robot with pointy arms" to "giant shiny black robot with stompy legs".

The enemies are generic and bland as well, variations of "small shiny black robot with pointy arms" to "giant shiny black robot with stompy legs".

    The zones themselves are boring and are all based on the awful Boost gameplay that people think is good for some reason. It is however, still leagues better than 06, Forces, Unleashed, Heroes, etc.
    The story is another "I'll go save all my useless friends" throwaway, as Sonic games almost always are nowadays.

    The music is okay, but the cool-factor is outweighed by the fact that Sonic himself is not as cool as the music/lyrics try to make him out to be. Better to just download the music and listen while playing a better game.

    A large story-based content update was announced so there's a chance it will improve the gameplay some more, but there's a whole bunch of cosmetic/misc/junk stuff before that comes out that will likely interest very few players.

    To top it all off, it has Denuvo. This causes the game to microstutter at times. Even if it didn't though, I still don't think this game would be worth pirating at this stage. A decent improvement after the last 17 years of disappointment, but mediocre at best.    … Expand

    For what it is, it is a good sonic game. But I only give this game a 7/10 because it has some issues, but thankfully since I am on PC, the game could potentially be fixed with mods. So that could bump the rating up from a 7/10 to a 7.5/10. But honestly, its pretty good.

    I wish the Cyberspace levels were longer. I also don't like some aspects of the writing--in particular some of the subtle changes to Amy's personality. I also don't like how meloncholy the music is in some of the open-world zones. It has a vibe almost like the Witcher 3, which is weird for a Sonic game.

    - Poor performance. Constant stuttering. Unstable framerate.
    - Not Sonic. This isn't a Sonic game, this is a fan tech demo.
    - Unfitting graphics. gross realistic graphics instead of cartoon graphics.
    - Bad music. This is the first mainline Sonic game to have trash music.

Pleas fix this Sega. The ending is also not very good honestly. My advice is to switch to easy mode before the last boss. It's not hard, just annoying and boring, and you get the same ending regardless.

    All that sounds bad, I know, but that really is about my extent of the problems with the game. The story, ending aside, is genuinely good, characterization is so much better than it has been, and this game has some of the most fun, cinematic boss fights in the series yet. The soundtrack goes so hard, and I'm here for it. This game makes you feel so powerful. The bulk of the game, the open zones, is INCREDIBLY fun despite the above setbacks, and the gameplay loop fits Sonic in a way I never thought possible. After playing this, my biggest complaint is really just that there isn't more - mainly, more characters and cutscenes. Playing as Sonic was so fun, and I'd love to see Tails, Amy, and Knuckles get a piece of the action too!

    That said, I can't say how much I ruined my sleep schedule on this game. First time in a long time I've been like "Okay, I'll play about an hour" and then it's suddenly 3am.

    TL;DR: This game has it's problems, but it's also one of the most fun, immersive, and enjoyable games I've played in a looong time. It's easily an A-Tier game to me. With a little polish and a bit more content, this game could easily be a 9 or even a 10.    … 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.
