    I would have given this an 8, but thanks to the review bombers I have to give it a ten

    My only real problems is that it has inconsistent momentum physics and the Drop Dash is unnecessary.

    Besides that it’s a genuinely great experience and an exceptional first steps in a fully open world 3D Sonic Game

    However SONIC TEAM NEEDS A LOT MORE THAN 15 PEOPLE GEEZUS

    A great game that creates a linchpin for the future of sonic games. Great character development, fun combat system and an enjoyable open world setting as well as the cyberspace.

    Huge step in the right direction for Sonic! Enjoyed this game from start to finish and the music is one of the best in the series. While not a perfect game the good out weights the bad. You can truly see the love and passion out into this game!

    Has a few tiny shortcomings but the positives outweigh any negativity I could say, by far the best Controlling 3D Sonic in the past 15 or so years, and finally a good, engaging story, and holy damn... Super Sonic is the best he has ever been freaking EVER.

    OST also goes extremely hard but that's a given when it comes to Sonic.

    Huge comeback for the blueblur. one of my favorite series in the sonic universe is the sonic adventure series, and I can safely say that not only it brought out back to that feeling, it did all that and then some. Sonic team finally has the right direction for sonic and I can't wait for what's in store. Don't listen to the over dramatic reviews. 2022 is the year of sonic. Welcome back!

From the Open Zone, to the Cyberspace Stages, to the incredible Soundtrack, Sonic Frontiers knocks it out of the park. The speed feels amazing, and with the ability to adjust different aspects, you can go for that extremely high precision from older 3D titles like Sonic Adventure 2, and Day Stages in Sonic Unleashed, or go for a more slow, and methodical style, similar to Night Stages in Sonic Unleashed, or Shadow's style of combat in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), or even something in between. Each option is extremely smooth and tight, just done at different speeds The soundtrack is one of the greatest I've ever heard, especially in the current landscape of more cinematic OSTs, and Orchestral tracks, the hard Mid-2000s rock brings a breath of fresh air, and an adrenaline rush like no other. Tracks like "Undefeatable", "Break Through it All", and "One Way Dream" are sure to make Sonic fans think about the days where Crush 40 was making Sonic OSTs some of the most iconic in gaming. Without getting into spoilers for the main story, the story itself is amazing, down to the more mature voice acting, to the world building, and even some simple character interactions. The boss fights are also a treat to behold. Each one is accompanied by this adrenaline pumping track, and the sheer amount of power you feel in each fight is enough to put final boss fights from not only other Sonic games, but many other games in general to shame. I played Frontiers in the Nintendo Switch system, and found very few instances of glitches, or structures popping in that aren't also present in some of the massive AAA games of the modern day. My only complaint at the moment with the game is how you cannot re-fight bosses after already beating them, but I am more than willing to replay through the game just to re-experience those fights. Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who is even remotely curious, or even if you aren't. I have adored every second of this game, and I am willing to bet you will too.… Expand

    At first I didn't like the game at all, but when I saw that Dunkey disliked the game, I realized that it is actually the best game ever made and Dunkey is WRONG for calling this game a bad game. Everyone that gave this game a bad score is nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.

    The game is excellent, the positives are: the graphics, the story, sonic is free to go anywhere on the islands and he has never been so handy. The negative points are: The popping and the repetitive dimension

    Overall this is the best Sonic game we’ve gotten in a decade! The gameplay is genuinely fun, the story is good but flawed, the landscapes look beautiful, and the characters are written very well! There are some annoying bugs and annoying pop ins, and the ending feels rushed. But overall I loved this game!

    I didn't have hope at the very begining, but when I played it I fell in love quickly. I didn't find any bugs and the combats/all movements are pretty fluid even for my ps4. The cut scenes are pure gold and the story made me cry. One of my favorites sonics game! GO AND BUY IT NOW!

    Incredibly addicting. Just the feel of collecting items in quick succession in an open world gave me dophamine for hours on end. The janky controls will take some time getting used to (and falling of cliffs) but the game is a masterpiece overall.

    This is the best 3D Sonic game ever made since Sonic Adventure 1. Every island is good and with unique enemies and a story so well written that is gonna make a revolution in Sonic franchise. The only mistake is pop in but it doesn't affect game play.

    This is literally my perfect sonic game. You can tell how much care was put into the writing, story, level design, and art design. The disconnected geometry on the islands looks odd but functionally is perfect. Thank you so much for this game, sonic team. For the first time in a long time I'm proud to call myself a sonic fan!

The music contrasts with what is going on onscreen at all times so perfectly, the soundtrack is always changing. Beautiful symphonic pieces seamlessly transition into metalcore songs.

    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!
