    I've been a Sonic fan since Sonic Adventure 1 and I can finally say I'm proud to be a Sonic fan again. Now this game isn't perfect, it has some flaws in areas, but nothing so outlandish that it ruins the experience like many past titles.

    Combat is fun and fluid, exploration and map expansion is satisfying and the cyberspace stages honestly grew on me the more I played of them. They're very fun to speedrun.

    The world, lore and story are the most fleshed out and interesting we've seen in a Sonic game in almost 2 decades. It's so nice to have a proper expansion on the lore the fandom holds so dear.

    The music... Oh my god the music. Yes.

    Really fantastic time. Definitely recommend.

    The ending left a bit to be desired. It feels like they ran out of budget/time towards the end, but it's forgivable cause of just how fun the core experience is. Hopefully we'll get an expansion or DLC down the road or something. Would love that.

    Also needs a hardcore difficulty mode.

    This is a very good Sonic game and lays a solid foundation for the next generation of Sonic games. It isn't perfect and has its flaws, but it objectively is a very good game.

It isn't perfect and has its flaws, but it objectively is a very good game. Don't listen to the negative reviews from no-name gaming sites and Youtubers and their little fan boys who have no idea what they are talking about, the consensus among most critics and users is that this is a very good Sonic game, as it should be. It is easily the best 3D Sonic game since Sonic Generations.

    Pros:
    1. Very snappy/responsive controls, even when Sonic is going fast. It is clear that Sonic Team has put in the work to fine tune the controls for 3D Sonic.

    2. The 60 fps frame-rate is buttery smooth and load times are extremely fast for the PS5.

    3. The story is probably the best Sonic game story since Sonic Adventure 2. Don't expect Mass Effect level storytelling, but for a Sonic game is surprisingly good.

    4. The fun factor for this game is off the charts. It is so much fun blasting around at top speeds and chaining together movement across springs, rails, boosters, etc. Since I have got Sonic to Level 99 speed, I have spent a ton of time just blasting around the open environments. I can't think of another open world (open zone) game that allows you to blaze through environments at speeds like this.

    5. I really enjoyed the sprinkling in of 2D sections, both in the open world and the Cyberspace levels. It gave a nostalgic feel to Sonic hearkening back to the classic 2D era. Also, platforming in 2D is different than platforming in 3D so it helped add variety that way. I genuinely don't understand the criticism of the 2D sections in this game, they were a lot of fun.

    6. Speaking of Cyberspace stages, they were a great add-on to the game and helped add variety to the game outside of the open zone gameplay. Sonic Team should absolutely keep these types of levels in their future "open zone" Sonic games.

    7. The graphics are very good, not Horizon Zero Dawn level, but it looked great running through these environments. I also appreciated the addition of what I'd call "mini-biomes" within each open zone. Without giving too much away, you will find oasis, wetlands, waterfalls, lakes, forests, fields of flowers, etc. sprinkled throughout these open zones. I hope Sonic Team continues add these types of mini-biomes within their open worlds in future games.

    8. I thought the RPG elements were excellent, and the way they are utilized it encouraged you to explore the open zones to obtain Koko and other power-ups to increase Sonic's speed, attack, defense and max ring count. I found myself searching around every nook and cranny in the open world to find Koko so I could max out Sonic's speed. The way they meshed together the RPG elements and exploration of the open zone is great, and I hope they continue to do that.

    9. The combat is pretty fun. I enjoyed the added move-sets and combos that Sonic can utilize to bash apart enemies and bosses. It isn't particularly challenging, even on Hard mode, but this is a Sonic game, not Dark Souls. The focus is on speed and fun, not chucking your controller into the TV because a particular boss pummeled you into the dirt for a 20th straight time.

    10. The fishing mini-game was a lot of fun, and with the Cyberspace stages was a nice way to add variety to the game. The addition of a Fishopedia and Eggman tapes was great too. In the future, it would be nice to see the fishing mini-game have its own biome. How about a fishing zone in Aquatic Ruin Zone from Sonic 2 (Sega Genesis).

    Cons:
    1. Some of the mini-bosses and Titan bosses can be a bit tedious, especially with the controls, but luckily this is more of a minor nuisance and isn't game breaking.

    2. On some minor occasions, Sonic's controls won't necessarily respond. Such as when boosting Sonic comes to a instant stop even though there is no object in his way, or you hit a wall for a wall jump but Sonic just falls off for no reason. Again, minor nuisances that don't occur often and not game breaking.

    3. No Photo Mode. My God, these types of Sonic games need a photo mode. A nice added feature of a photo mode too would be the option to remove the rails, springs, and other artificial objects so you can get a nice scenic photo/screenshot without the clutter.

    4. This is subjective, but I didn't enjoy the blocky cyberspace background in the Cyberspace Stages. Part of the fun of Sonic games is speeding through environments with the natural scenery in the background. I know there is a story element to why it is there, but Sonic Team needs to take these types of backgrounds and nuke it to the moon. It detracts away from the experience.

    5. Stop reusing Green Hill and Sky Sanctuary for the billionth time. Don't get me wrong, I love the hearkening back to classic Sonic levels, but there are so many out there to bring into the modern era. How about reviving Emerald Hill, Aquatic Ruin,Starlight Zone, Mystic Cave, etc.

    It's almost the ultimate Sonic title. The controls need some work such as jumping. Cyber Space stages could have been more original, and more variety.

    The best Sonic game in a decade. Fun open zone gameplay always keeps you engaged. While the game has some issues in the bosses, the last act looking the same as Kronos, and mediocre cyberspace it is still a very fun time.

    Love this open zone sonic games, lots of fun and just what Sega needed to do. I note a percentage of expert reviews who have rated it down just because it's sonic. It's laughable otherwise this gets a metacritic score of 8

    This is arguably the best step in the right direction Sonic can take. Sonic has managed to reinvent himself in an amazing way. Everything about it feels so fresh, right down to the character development that everyone gets. Even Eggman ends up coming off as relateable, especially with the Egg Memos you can get through fishing(and the fishing is actually fun now!!).

    Only gave it a 9, though, due to minor grievances such as Cyberspace levels not being too great for the most part, and cause of an upgrade system that for whatever reason has 2 skill upgrades be instantaneous with multiple level raises at a time and the other 2 being done one level at a time. Otherwise, this is arguably the best 3D Sonic game of all time. Yes, even better than Generations.

    Sure there is popping if you have an open zone game where the protagonist runs at a very high speed. However, this game surprised me. It is so fun and relaxing. Sure it has simple mechanics in some situations, but it keeps the essence clear of what it is Sonic. Hope this is the beginning of something great for the blue hedgehog.

    Easily the best 3D Sonic game to come out since Generations. Not perfect by any means with the consistent pop in being one of the biggest flaws but still had an absolute blast playing it. The writing is so much better and is a breath of fresh air as the characters feel more authentic again. Definitely a step in the right direction for what can come for Sonic in the future.

    Sonic Frontiers is not perfect, but it's so, so much fun and has made me grin with excitement multiple times already 6 hours in. It's really just such a fun and engaging game, I cannot recommend it enough. "Open Zones" are a fantastic and well executed idea, especially with how perfectly they tied the boss fights into the concept. I really hope this is the future of the Sonic series.

Sonic feels fantastic to control in this open world, and the combat, while not on DMC or Bayonettas level, is so fun. Hopefully they expand on it and make more in depth. Welp, that's pretty much all I gotta say on it. Lol Good game, play it. Even if you ain't a Sonic fan I reccomend it just from how fun it is.

    Fortunately, it was. Despite many technical shortcomings, I really liked the game. It's the first open worlds in years I truly managed to enjoy, mostly because it's a platform-focused open world. Going around with Sonic, collecting stuff and solving puzzles has been a fun experience.

    I also appreciated the short levels a lot more compared to Forces. These felt way more interesting, especially visually speaking, I only wish these linear stages could be a bit longer.

    The boss battles are a hype train, the music choice for them is incredibly fitting, I wish there were more of these.

    Overall, a very enjoyable videogame.

    The gameplay, music, bosses and open world design are great, and the plot is the most interesting one since Sonic Unleashed, and also the estetic of the open zones remembered me playing Sonic Adventure and Unleashed.
    It lacks on the final boss, which is dissapointing, and sometimes upgrading the habilities tends to be really easy when you find out that big the cat and the cyloop give you skill points. And sometimes the cyberspce phisics tends to be weird to control, but you can get used to.
    In general is a really good game, one of the best 3D games, but far from perfect.

    Open ended, with excellent controls and far more improved writing, Sonic Frontiers feels more like a collectathon than a Zelda clone, and it’s awesome.

    While it isn’t perfect, the game has jank and lacks polish in some areas, keeping cyberspace for high speed modern sonic action and doing away with needless gimmicks that aren’t played after game completion, it instead has a fun albeit very easy combat system. The new controls allow for more freedom, and the speak of this being the “next generation of sonic” is, ultimately, an amazing sign of what’s to come.

    What this game lacks is longer cyberspace levels, with more speed, and perhaps more reason to collect all the tokens found. There’s a lot to collect but very little reason to get everything outside of trophies or pride. I would suggest more varied locations, and more revised and expressive cutscenes.

    Overall - Sonic Frontiers is an excellent foundation of what needs to be built upon and perfected for the future of sonic. The future is very bright!

    The graphics and world design is fantastic, and with the Cyberspace levels coming along, never feels boring. The music needs so mention, it's phenomenal, to say the least.

    While not perfect, like the platforming challenges not being natural in the Open Zones, or no ability to play the Titans fights again, Frontiers is an exciting step forward, and more than solid foundation for the future. 2022 has been kind to Sonic, and Frontiers helps push the narrative that, yes, Sonic is back.

    If I was to give this a fair score, it would be around a 8/10. But as someone who has grown with this series, the call-backs, evolution and more found in Frontiers, it reaches a 9. It's not a master piece, but it is a special game that I feel will be loved in the future if Sonic Team continues with this new formula. This game will walk, so the others can run.

    Pero obviamente el juego no es perfecto:

    - Tiene bastante popping la verdad, normalmente no es tan molesto pero me han llegado a aparecer estructuras en la cara de forma muy bestia como 2/3 veces y es un poco wtf.
    - En mi caso sitios con bastantes cosas en pantalla como en el "bosque" de la primera isla hay bajadas de 5-10 fps a veces.

    Espero que este sea el camino que lleve la franquincia en los proximos años, como ya he dicho el juego no es perfecto pero esta batante bien para empezar esta nueva era del erizo azul.

    Por ahora le pondria de nota 7,5/10.
    Cuando me termine el juego a lo mejor cambio de opinión respecto a la nota.

    Pues eso ha sido mi tercera "reseña" hecha en mi vida. No soy de hacer estas cosas xd

    Play this game it has a decent story very fun open world smooth gameplay and colorful cyberspace levels but there’s is a bunch of popping and the islands don’t look too colorful as cyberspace but the. You have the bosses WHICH ARE INCREDIBLE WITH ROCK MUSIC AND A BUNCH OF EPIC ACTION and there’s puzzles which are ok just ok but even with its flaws this is a 9 because it’s just way too fun

En cuanto a la banda sonora, como era de esperar en un juego de sonic, es sencillamente casi perfecta, en cuanto a detalles sonoros, es muy comodo escuchar las acciones de Sonic en este mundo abierto, que tiene un diseño de nivel increible.

    The new concept of open area is great for Sonic, and the story returns to the origins of the Adventure era, something that was sorely missed in the saga. The cyberspace levels at the end become addictive to get the S rank and all the extras. From here, I have a lot of hope for the next games to come and this Frontiers does not disappoint.

    The first Sonic I've played from start to finish, and it was quite a treat. Fun, gameplay is easy-to-learn, some challenging puzzles, and original soundtrack is out of this world (one of the best video game soundtracks I've heard). The story is also a compelling and emotional one - was pleasant surprised at the relationship between two characters.

The new "Open Zone" format works wonders for giving new life to a series that's been using the Boost formula for more than a decade. The combat is surprisingly fun, and I found leveling Sonic up to be very satisfying. The puzzles, while simple, are a great way to progress through the worlds and unlock more of the map. They're basically just Mario Party minigames. My only real complaint with the game is that the cyberspace levels can be a bit tedious at points, but even then, I loved going for new high scores and collecting all of the vault keys. But the highlight of the game for me is the music and the insane boss battles! "Undefeatable, "Break Through It All", and "Find Your Flame" are some of the best pieces of Sonic music in the entire series, the latter of which is currently ranked as my favorite song from the Sonic franchise. Seriously, "Find Your Flame" is on the same level as the Metal Gear Rising OST. Lastly, the story actually had me intrigued. I loved learning about the Coco species and Sage is one of the best debut characters for the franchise in a long time. Overall, I'm excited to see where Sonic's future is heading! Expand

Go fish for 5 minutes and you’re good to go. The combat system is really well done and flashy and the boss battle are epic. Sonic controls can still be polished tough. I think, Sega is into something. If they want the next installment to be a masterpiece, here are the key part for me :
    -Give the game more budget
    -Fix the technical issues -Upgrade the pacing of the story telling and the cinematics
    -Don’t use the same mini game to reaver the map twice. Like in Mario 3D World, you won’t find the same gimmick twice. They should try to accomplish a similar thing.
    -Upgrade Sonic Controls
    -Remove 2D courses -Change the theme of the courses. Explore something else.

    I think if they get these on point, they are in for finally a Sonic game that will bring Sonic to the top

There is so much to do in the open zone such as, challenges, platform challenges to get collectables and mostly fun enemies and bosses. There is an issue with pop in that should be addressed, however, it doesn't take away from the experience. Sonic also controls really well in the open zone as well, better than the rubbish, slippery controls of sonic forces, the last mainline sonic game.
    the story in this game is more serious and has a more sombre, calmer and darker tone, which is a huge breath of fresh air from the childish, light-hearted stories we've had since Sonic colours. It is great and the best since Sonic unleashed.
    Then there's cyberspace, which can be accessed through portals scattered around the Starfall islands. These levels are great fun and have 4 objectives for each one of them which ads some replicability to the game. However, there are a few small issues with them such as, sonic being very slow even while boosting, (though there is a reason for it) and the fact that there are only 4 level themes. (greenhill, chemical plant, sky sanctuary and a city setting). they really should have added at least 3-4 more themes to occupy the 30 cyberspace levels and not reused greenhill and chemical plant (as they have come back way too many times and it is now tiering to see them again). there are plenty of other old themes they could have given us, such as, Kingdom Valley (sonic 2006), Icecap zone (Sonic 3&k), The aquarium park (Sonic colours) and jungle joyride (sonic unleashed). hopefully, in the future, Sonic team will give us more cyberspace levels with new, different themes, as dlc.
    Overll though these issues don't make this game any less good. The soundtrack is also absolutely fire!
    Sonic is back and it great. welcome to the next era of sonic. or rather, as it is looking like it, the second dark era of sonic. This game is not as good as Sonic unleashed (because that game really is the best in my opinion), but it's still a gem, and I hugely recommend people give it a go.

    Where I'm at writing this review, the story is pretty alright, but once again, not exactly what I'm looking for. But it's sufficing at the moment.

I feel that Sonic Frontiers is the new step for the series and I'm excited to see where they go with this. Expand

    GOOD THINGS
    -Sonic acts as he should but without losing his personality, in every sentence (unless the moment is of extreme tension) has his little joke that finally are no longer as they were in forces. but also has that serious touch and concern.

    -The gameplay couldn't be better, sonic in the platforming moments is no longer as slippery as in previous installments and it feels really good, the combat is entertaining and I like how it evolves becoming complex little by little.

    -Level design, the open world design is entertaining and effective. Personally the world seems to me a mixture of the one of zelda botw but adapted to sonic and elements of the saga.

    -Story: I haven't finished it but I can tell you that when the moment is serious the characters act according to their personality and not according to the personality of a clown like in forces for example.

    BAD POINTS
    -Popping is present and noticeable, not as much as in the trailers but it's there even with the graphics at MAX. This could be solved with an option to adjust the draw distance.
    -Some textures and a few shadows are weak even on full graphics But this can only be seen in the scenes

    Una nueva etapa para el erizo a Sido definida gracias a este título, pese a sus problemas de rendimiento no logra tirar por la borda lo demás; un control divertido y cómodo, una historia interesante y que te hace sentir que por fin el Canon se mueve hacia alguna parte, y esos momentos de epicidad característicos... Sin dudas este es un nuevo comienzo para Sonic

    the best sonic game since mania, tight controls (in the open world), fun combat, cool platforming, my only complaint are the cyberspace controls which feel kinda off but you will get used to them.

    My precise score for Sonic Frontiers is 8.5, but since Metacritic only allows round numbers, I chose 9 as this game deserves praise.

It is true that Sonic games had been becoming worse with each title of the mainline series since 2010, but Sonic Frontiers is finally a game Sonic Team can be proud of. It is not a perfect game, but imagine a situation: a kid had been getting F's for each homework, test, and exam just because they didn't care about school stuff, but one day they decided it is time to work for their future, so eventually, after days of hard work, they brought a C mark. That's not the best result that can be reached, but this C is an achievement for that kid, and if we don't praise this achievement now and just start emphasizing the flaws alone, the kid won't see any point in reaching new heights.

    That's what Sonic Frontiers is for Sonic Team right now. It is a C (possibly even a B), but this is finally a good Sonic game that explores and expands the universe's lore, dives into characters and their thoughts, and brings a fun gameplay cycle you don't want to break for a rest. Sonic is not a meme, and this series doesn't have to do what Mario, Crash, or Spyro do — let Sonic be what he is good at, let him be a shonen for teens and young adults mixed with Nier, MGR, Devil May Cry, and Shadow of the Colossus, and just enjoy what he brings. Admiring Sonic Frontiers is a decent game won't bring you shame, and this is more valuable than trying to pretend the franchise is a constant joke.

    It took me about 25 hours to beat the game, and I want to spend more in it, for the fighting can be really challenging and complex, traversing brings the feeling of excitement, and following the mystical story with no sarcasm in soul is no doubt interesting.

    While the game has its rough edges, specially in the technical deparment, the game is clearly a very good direction for Sonic Games, I always thought that Cyberspace would be the thing I like the most and for my surprise, it isnt. I don't like the way they made Cyberspace levels because Sonic feels very heavy. Like in Forces. But the open world is amazing.

Popping is a constant issue, You don't see clearly where you are heading. Textures are a bit low quality but the game is visually good. As for the story. Its pretty good. For SA2 fans, This is gem. 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

    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!
