    i love this game but it has a couple flaws some of the enemies you fight are jank as hell and also they could have done WAY MORE with the story then what they did but the bosses and the soundtrack is AMAZING and even though i said the story needed some tweeks its a step up from Sonic forces and they fixed up some characters wich is was nice solid 8/10

From mostly great gameplay designs to pushing the boundaries of character expectations, and doing it all with an amazing soundtrack Sonic Frontiers is easily one of the best Sonic games in a long time. We'll have to wait and see if Sonic Frontiers gets additional support and DLC content but either way I'll be looking forward to the blue blur's next adventure.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Empezamos con la zona abierta. Para ser el primer juego de este estilo en sonic esta genial. Literalmente siempre hay algo q hacer, este juego es de todo menos vacío ya q o tienes q conseguir fragmentos, encontrar los ciberespacio, luchar vs los guardianes y además q es muy libre y te da la oportunidad de romper el juego y no en sentido malo. Por ejemplo: quieres llegar a un fragmento en una plataforma con la ayuda del spin dash + momentum y salir volando? Es posible. Para desbloquear el mapa, hay q resolver puzles para q te den una parte del mapa, que haber, es mejor que sea simple, rapido y divertidos los puzles que un dolor de cabeza. Pasas de corriendo como un hamster hasta jugar tetris XD. Seguidamente vamos con el cibergazpacho. NO es el eje principal del juego pero aún así es un potencial desperdiciado, la mayoría son calcos de genereation y como excusa te ponen " son los recuerdos de sonic" vale q sean recuerdos pero no me pongas un nivel entero de otro juego. Además que aquí se nota q el boost no es igual de rápido y fluido q en la zona abierta. Aquí sonic hace el boost y madre mía, no hay cosa más rígida en este juego ( Otra nota: ahora con el spin dash + si haces la carrera ciberespacial te Dan el boost en el cibergazpacho como cuando en la zona abierta tienes todos los rings te Da más velocidad hace q sea mucho más rápido y más frenéticos los niveles, q como digo están bien pero no es bueno poner un cacho de otro juego ). La cosa es q hace falta materiales para entrar a los cibergazpachos ( que estos te Dan las llaves para las chaos emerald ), entonces ¿ con q se consiguen ? Luchando vs los guardianes. Antes explicaré esto: Aqui te dán un arco de habilidades q es simple pero funciona, puedes hacer una variedad de combos que la verdad están genial y es muy frenético. Ahora sí, vs los bosses: estos tienen una propia música cada uno y cada mecánica es única, si, puede que haiga un parecido como con fortrres y squid pero vamos, mentiría si la música no hace que sientas emoción y epicidad. Si bien todo estaba genial no había nada que te volará a otro mundo pero los combates vs los titanes SON LOS MEJORES DE LA SAGA SONIC. Primero tienes que escalar a lo shadow of the colosus al titan y cojer la ultima emerald, q esta bien echo, y luego vas a enfrentarte al titan y EN SERIO, no sabes lo épico que es que haga multiplicación de subnormales a lo naruto, suelte combos y puñetazos espirituales a lo dragón Ball y que hasta C0JA UNA ESPADA A LO FINAL FANTASY. Y la música solo hace que esta sensación de pela sea aún MEJOR. Hablando de la música, es como siempre, bellísima. El rock tirando pa metal pesao en los titanes, la orquesta y último, el tegno. Todos obras de arte. Luego, esta la pesca con big y haber, si eres un enfermo mental que se tira 40 horas para jugar llega un punto en que te quieres matar y esto es una salvación. Los materiales son limitados pero aún así es bastante relajante y sencillo. Para pescar tienes que conseguir unas monedas púrpura que se farmean en la lluvia de estrellas. Por último la historia, d lo que empieza por un salva a los amigos luego es un drama entre sage y eggman + evolución de personajes en todos los personajes y dando el posible origen de las chaos emerald . Estos simplemente aprenden que sonic no es su centro y tiene que seguir pa lante. Amy quiere dar todo su amor y ayudar a todos aunque eso significa alejarse de Sonic ( como esto se ve en los cómics de sonic the hegtog con el mismo autor que es Ian flin), knuck aprende que nunca estará solo y puede seguir su vida y tails deja de ser un inútil y aprende que tiene que dejar de ser cobarde y dejará a sonic por un tiempo para mejorarse a sí mismo. Hasta ahora todo pinta bien verdad? Pues bien , el problema es la última isla. El juego pega un bajonazo increíble y parece una expansión de kronos porque encima tiene la misma ambientación q haber, la estructura y algunas misiones son diferentes pero en otros parecen una expansión. El final boss es el ejemplo perfecto de como NO terminar un juego, aquí no cojemos la última chaos enerald escalando como los anteriores, aquí eggman nos da la última porque se suponía que nos iba a ayudar a encontrar las chaos emerald y al final solo encontró una. Luego el boss SUPREM parece un calco de giganto, pero, ese no era el jefe final, el verdadero final boss es the end, una luna negra que maipulo a sonic para liberarse de su sello y poder destruir su mundo, sage y sonic lucharán codo con codo para derrotar a the end siendo la pele más épica de toda la historia de ES UN MINIJUEGO DE NAVES. En serio? Osea me tienes soltando combos y luego piu piu? Esta bien, la música es tope guay y los diagolos son interesantes pero vamos, es una gran decepción. Si hubieran echo un boss q de verdad sientas q puedes perder si te descuidadas y aproveche todo lo q has aprendido peleando vs los guardianes y bosses de cada isla seria genial… Expand

The high speed challenges and exilirating bosses make the game even better. The music hits sooo hard. In general Sonic frontiers is a fun game and thropes are fair and fun to hunt.

Poi arriverà una quarta e ultima recensione. Spero che aggiungano tanti DLC Estetici sulla mappa di gioco e nuovo abbigliamento per Sonic.

A gameplay do jogo tem seus altos e baixos (mais para altos agora com o update 2), mas é bem tranquilo aprender a jogar. A física do jogo ainda é beeem quebradinho, mas na realidade ela mais ajuda do que atrapalha, o combate do jogo é muito divertido, e intuitivo (melhor do que o unleashed que o combate do werehog era beem chatinho). E o mapa aberto do jogo é muito bom, ele também tem seus altos e baixos, mas é super divertido pegar os itens do mapa ou apenas ficar correndo por aí. A história do jogo é boa, introduzindo a Sage a "filha" do Doutor Robotnik/Eggman, e fora que a história concerta a lore dos jogos do Sonic e explica algumas coisas da série.
    Conclusão: vale muito apena para os fãs do Sonic, ele é o melhor jogo 3d dessa franquia (e fora que com os updates ele está ficando melhor ainda). Mas para os novos fãs de Sonic/ possíveis novos fãs, eu não recomendo tanto assim, eu pessoalmente indico jogar primeiro o Sonic Generations e o Sonic Mania. Mas depois de você aprender pelo menos um pouco sobre como funciona Sonic, eu super recomendo esse jogo.    … Expand

    A great Sonic game and definitely a step in the right direction for the franchise. Sonic feels fast and fun to control. A good story with a bit of substance to it, giving a a good bit of depth to Sonic and friends. The game does have a couple issues but it is a good starting point for the franchise, which I hope will be improved upon with the next game in the series.

    The idea and vision of the game is absolutely fabulous. In practice, however, the game is brought down by its execution, which you can see through after a short while and then the game has nothing to surprise you with. [Issue#324]

    There is nothing remotely redeeming about this game. Nothing that even the most die-hard loyal Sonic Fans would or should advocate for. I hope that one day someone who cares enough about this franchise could give us something-anything of substance. A fan can hope, can’t they? A fan can hope.

    Finally, after almost 25years of half measures and mostly mediocre titles, Sonic has finally reached the 3D levels of gameplay it needed to reach. Yes, the pop in is absolutely inexcusable and the ancient gatekeeping grindy methods damage the flow of the game for no reason, but a wonderfully built base exists here, with a highly entertaining adventure in wonderfully melancholic world and a surprisingly well founded story, thankfully clean of Sonic’s annoying 3rd tier friends!
