    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!

    Best Sonic game ever, since Unleashed!
    Great story and so much fun, a lot of things to do
    Sega finally find the way to the modern Sonic games.

    Desideravo da quando ho 6 anni questo gioco, quando ero piccolo mi innamorai della saga grazie a Sonic Advance per Gameboy sp e Sonic Heroes per la prima Xbox, la critica non ci ha mai capito nulla, Sonic è il gioco più figo e più divertente al mondo

    After the battle using super Sonic my score is 10/10.
    The gameplay and the game loop is so damn good that I have to change my previous review (below)

    Overall is a great and enjoyable game, but there are some problems:
    - Graphic is not good, it looks like a PS3 game
    - The frame rate drops really often
    - Lights and shadows are not well balanced (and the night is too dark)
    - Regular levels are very aseptic
    I don't know if the PS5 version is better but, apart those problems, I'm liking the game.
    I still prefer a game like Sonic Generations though.    … Expand

    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.
    Thank you SEGA and thank you Sonic Team!    … Expand

    This game is simply amazing. I never had this much fun with a sonic game since unleashed 14 years ago. This is the best 3d sonic game ever. The combat is fun, the world is beautiful and the exploration never felt boring. The bosses are the best in the series. The music is top notch. The story reminds me of the 2000's a lot (in a good way) and the dialogue and characterization are perfect.This game is simply amazing.

    Sonic Frontiers is a great game. Really love it! The story is great, the characters, the Music. Everything!! I don't like they used just 4 Themes and Green Hill Zone you know, we saw thouse like a million times. And the Secret Final Boss was....alright..
    But I think its still a great game!

    Sonic Frontiers is definitely the best game in the series, both in terms of plot and gameplay. The soundtrack is amazing.
    The wait was totally worth it, I look forward to the next proposal from Sonic Team, I really want to know how they continue the story with the new direction they gave it.
    In my opinion, the game is a 10 out of 10.

    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?

    This is one of, if not the best Sonic game out there. Everything about this game was amazing. From the exciting gameplay to the compelling story. This marks the beginning of a new Era for Sonic. Just like it's title and signature song, "we've entered a new frontier!"

    Gameplay loop is fun and addictive. Music is perfect for whatever the situation is. Controls are the best they've ever been. Combat is easy to pick up but still deeper than button mashing. Writing is well done and the characters relationships are developed well.

    I was not expecting this Sonic game to be this good. The creators put a lot of heart and elbow grease into this game and it shows.

    Sonic Frontiers is both the best and the worst entry to the series. Romping around the open environments is great, the bosses are among the best Sonic has ever met, and the soundtrack is once again full of bangers. It’s a shame that every step of the way you can see that the development was rushed, which resulted in an incredibly rough gameplay and made my experience sad and painful.

    Sonic Frontiers has definitely brought back hope for the franchise with this new format. Between the smooth experience in the Open-Zone, cool combat (especially titan bosses) and an enjoyable quality of story writing. There are however still some polish to be done around the display of obstacles and platforms. And by far the least appreciable aspect is Cyber Space, both in its lack of originality and control which robs the game of a much higher rating.

    Fans were worried, but in the end, it's a fun Sonic, as it should be. Although not so traditional. After a long time, it is an excellent, visually very nice, but mainly fun Sonic game.
