    I love it! The world is sooooooo huge. There is a vast world to discover. A lot of things to do. A very intriguing story. I recommend it. I would put a 9.5, because of the pooping, but we don't have that option on metacritic, so I'll put a 10.

    Currently my favorite Game of 2022 and the most fun Sonic game I played in years. It‘s a great foundation for future installment. The Graphics Engine needs to be updated though for this type of direction. It needs Distance View and higher geometry detail on environmental objects to make sceneries more astonishing when discovering new places.

    Wow...
    So, uh... this game is Amazin'?

    I did not expect to love this as much as I did, and this is comin' from someone that Loved Sonic Forces!
    But this game is just on another level!
    Everythin', the Story, the OST, the Cutscenes, the Gameplay, The Bosses... there wasn't a single thing I disliked 'bout this one, and I'm still in awe on how much this made me feel good!

    What an absolutely phenomenal experience. Very legitimately the best Modern Sonic experience we’ve ever gotten. This game is more than just a good Sonic game, it’s a great game in general.

    The story is amazing, and the deepest dive into Sonic lore we’ve had since the Adventure era, which I really appreciated.

This game is more than just a good Sonic game, it’s a great game in general.

    The story is amazing, and the deepest dive into Sonic lore we’ve had since the Adventure era, which I really appreciated. Sonic lore is deep and rich, and I’m glad we’re back to exploring it instead of ignoring it.

    Gameplay was something I was worried about when the first trailers and showings dropped, and I was very happily surprised to find that the Open-Zone formula is near perfect. The player finally has the freedom they crave as Sonic, and can traverse the zones and game as they please, which is a very welcomed change of pace.

    There is a very rich feeling of progression to the game. As you play it more and more, upgrading Sonic's stats and learning the Zones and the different means of exploring them becomes second nature. There's a level of fluidity here that we've never seen in a mainline Sonic title, and it's extremely satisfying.

    The amount of content in the game is also a huge surprise to me. The initial showings of the game had me worried the game was only going to have large open areas with nothing to do in them, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The fact that my first 100% play through of this Sonic game was 21 hours long is amazing and goes to show just how much there is to do here.

    All in all, this game is amazing and I highly recommend everyone give it a chance. It really feels great knowing that this game is as good as it is!

    Welcome back, Sonic. We missed you!    … Expand

    We have been waiting a decade for a Sonic game like this, and it finally delivers. This is a major step in the right direction compared to Colors, Lost World & Forces. Backstory, Character interactions, an intriguing plot and most important of all, fun and interesting gameplay. I was quite surprised when they even allowed you to adjust parameters relating to Sonic's speed and control. IWe have been waiting a decade for a Sonic game like this, and it finally delivers.

    Amazing game. Most fun I had on a AAA title in over 10 years. It genuinely feels like a game that had love from the devs and writers, and it's a true love letter to Sonic Adventure 1 and its fans. A lovely game.

    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. This game is so fun to do just about anything in. Not only can you run around the open world to progress through this amazing story, you can go through the cyberspace which acts as little bite sized levels that help you get the chaos emeralds. You can go fishing, just run around and have fun, level yourself up, speedrun, there's so many things to do. The combat feels so satisfying to use and just leaves you feeling good. And the story/dialogue is all amazing, characters feel like themselves again. And the dynamic between the pure evil eggman and his daughterly type love with the naive sage is amazing, it's just so wholesome. The super Sonic bosses are epic too, everything about this game is amazing… 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

    Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in the entire franchise!

    This game in it of itself is a masterpiece regardless of Sonic games! The open world is so fun to explore and you can run freely and platform at full speed and fight enemies, bosses and Titans, it's so fun! You can also combat and fight a lot of unique enemies and bosses, and unlock a lot of new combat moves and    Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in the entire franchise!

    You can also combat and fight a lot of unique enemies and bosses, and unlock a lot of new combat moves and skills, at the skill tree!

    You can also upgrade Sonic, you can upgrade his strength, speed, ring capacity and defense!

    The story is the best out of the whole franchise, and the voice acting is very good, Roger Craig Smith did an amazing job as the voice of Sonic!

    The music in this game is incredible and it's the best music in the entire franchise!

    The Super Sonic fights against the Titans were amazing and some of the best fights in a video game!

    Thank you Takashi Izuka and ESPECIALLY Morio Kishimoto who created this MASTERPEICE!
    The 5 years wait was definitely worth it.

    A lot of games that are coming out these days are super unpolished in the framerate department and now with pokemon scarlet and violet, it seems that not even nintendo is off the hook.

    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.
