Nov 15, 2022I'm not great at reviewing but god damm was this game fun. It's not the greatest and it's a but janky with some **** pop in but it's overall pretty good. One of the best Sonic games these past several years. The gameplay, music, story, etc are all something to praise.
-
Nov 22, 2022The 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.
-
Nov 9, 2022Love 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

Nov 11, 2022Sure 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.

Dec 21, 2022Easily 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.
-
Nov 10, 2022Sonic 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.

Nov 10, 2022I loved the game, the combination of speed with an open world is a great combination, the only problema i had was with Sonic's Physics on Cyberspace levels, and theres no way to replay the Boss battles unless creatining a New save file, but other than that, the game os Good,
Great,
Awesome,
Outstading,
AMAZING! -

Nov 14, 2022It's fun. I hope Sega evolves this formula in the future instead of abandoning it like usual.

Nov 30, 2022Amazing game of Sonic series! The new formula is fun and addictive, the cyberspace leve are fast and great, the only thing is realy bad in this game is the annoying popping.
-

Nov 14, 2022Not a perfect game by any means, but a huge improvement from what we have been getting over the past decade. The Sonic franchise is healing! Also, the ost goes hard.

Feb 8, 2023Безумная игра, очень понравилась! Драйв, музыка, всё очень круто. Поставил бы 10 баллов, но минус 1 балл за постоянно подгружающиеся в воздухе препятствия. Очень уж режет глаз. А в остальном - просто супер!

Mar 10, 2023The open zones are big and empty, the entire thing feels lonely. The rest of the game is absolutely great though. The missions are fun, and you really have to earn a perfect score.

Nov 20, 2022Pros:
+ controls well
+ ability variety
+ biome variety
+ enemy variety
+ great visual moments
+ good length
Cons:
- bad pop-in
- 2D sections
- uneven boss designs
- weird soundtrack
- no achievement tracking -
Nov 10, 2022Never was a fan of Sonic, but this game is excellent. Insane dynamic blend of so many gameplay mechanics in open world that is happening so rarely. Strangely reminding me of Returnal action game due to fast pace and cool atmosphere.
-
Nov 13, 2022This game is a good step in the right direction for the series. It has a great story, fun open zones with lots to do, Cyberspace while very flawed is still fun imo, fantastic combat, and it has the best boss battles in the series. Sad people will still go out of their way to hate and meme on the blue blur but that was bound to happen regardless of this games quality.
-
Nov 19, 2022The best way to describe it is Breath of the Wild but with Sonic. If you liked that and you like Sonic, you’ll love this! Deserves a higher rating

Nov 12, 2022El juego es una gozada, pero la comunidad de las sonrisas, la elite del Gaming parece que le ha sentado bastante mal, y se ha dedicado a poner ceros jajaj... mientras el GOW esta lleno de Bugs...
-
Nov 19, 2022it's the game Sonic needed. I don't understand the score of the press reviews. It may have some minor technical issues, I guess due to limitations of the graphics engine, but it doesn't lose the essence of Sonic. 100% addictive, motivates you to do 100% of the game in a relaxed and calm way. A good way to face the future of Sonics 3D, different from a Sonic adventure.
-
Nov 11, 2022The best 3D Sonic game in years!!!! Truly an astonishing achievement for the frachise, thank you SEGA and SONIC TEAM for this amazing game, we look forward for more!!

Nov 23, 2022Play 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

Nov 15, 2022Easily my second favorite Sonic game of all time, I loved the Story and Gameplay of it and there's so many references to older games and overall a great celebration of Sonic's 30th Anniversary!
-
Nov 11, 2022The 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.

Nov 10, 2022Una Joya lo que hicieron con Sonic, bien merecida está evolución del erizo azul, el mejor juego de su franquicia sin duda alguna

Nov 10, 2022This game is making the difference between the older games and this is the next era of the sonic games and the cutscenes are good and it continues the story of sonic
-
Nov 21, 2022I 100%ed the Game and it was fun.Yes the Game hast some problems and the final Boss was extremely lame, but overall its a good Game
-
Feb 14, 2023The 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.
-
Nov 10, 2022What a fresh new experience, the flow of the open world plus Sonic new moves makes it tons of fun, excited to see the sequels build on this
-
Nov 12, 2022Great game, excellent soundtrack! Bunch of stuck up game critics giving it a hard time can be ignored. This is good.

Nov 25, 2022The problems are the cutscenes and nearly half of the cyberspace levels are mediocre or sometimes worse but everything else is decent to great
-
Nov 11, 2022This is such an amazing game, i love the open world and and the little mini adventures it takes you on to collect the memory tokens. The music is obviously perfect since its a sonic game and the titan boss fights is the best super sonic experience we've had in any sonic game. This is such a strong step in the right direction for the future of sonic i hope sonic team keeps up the good work
-
Nov 10, 2022One of the Best Games i played this year, ans the vest Sonic Game Since Adventures 2 this change of direction for 3D sonic is perfect finally a game that Sonic fans deserve. I Love the new Combat mechanics and change in Voice acting tune.

Nov 11, 2022Sonic Frontiers is the Mario Galaxy/Breath of the Wild of ingenuity.
A unique experience which takes a gamble that pays off. So incredibly pleased that this franchise has had a major success and hopefully continues to do so. -

Nov 11, 2022La verdad que un juegazo!
En el apartado sonoro muy interesante, con un repertorio bastante amplios de temas tanto chill como heavy metal.
En cuestión gráfica, mucho mejor que Sonic Forces y la verdad que tiene un estilo artístico buenísimo.
Recomendadisimo -

Nov 9, 2022Una 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

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 24, 2024The 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]
-
Feb 22, 2023There 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.

Feb 4, 2023Finally, 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!
