    I think Sonic Frontiers carries some traits of the Adventure era games whilst also being twisted with a Modern flare, I think it’s one of Sonic’s best games in years!

    This game is just the great return of Sonic and SEGA. The people who criticize this Sonic have even't finished it, and the journalists are liars, they rated the game badly for God of war. There are many flaws but it's a good first open-world for the series. Bravo SEGA and Team Sonic, 10/10 to support you because you are on the right track!

    Un juego simple y llanamente perfecto, tiene un gameplay deslumbrante, una banda sonora muy bien trabajada y bien inmersiva, y lo mejor bajo mí opinión sería la historia, es bueno que Sonic y los otros personajes maduren en este juego, cada personaje se siente importante en la historia, además que la nueva personaje (Sage) es carismática y adorable. Por eso merece firmemente un 10/10

    Sonic Frontiers is an incredible step in the right direction by Sonic team. The game truly shines with it's open world gameplay, the fun of running around as Sonic, using his cool new moves to best up enemies.

    Kind of pathetic to watch these Dunkey fans review bomb this game. Why do some people like his content again? Is it because of his extreme gaming knowledge? Oh wait that can't be it, he doesn't have that. Oh yeah of course, because he does stupid voice when he talks in his reviews and 12 year olds think it's hilarious.

    This is such a fun game, it feels fresh and new but still has the throwback references and typical Sonic levels you would expect. We especially loved the portal levels. This is a great throwback game to sit around and pass the controller around for turns to try and beat scores. A single player game that is great for multiplayer. Sonic Team, great job!!

Given more time and a bigger budget this game has huge potential and there is already many great things in the game already to build upon in future sonic games.

    I was really looking forward to playing this game prior to its release, and my excitement only increased after I began playing.

This game is easily the best 3D Sonic game since Generations at least. The gameplay is something that I think both long-time Sonic fans and newcomers will enjoy. I wish the game could have been more challenging. Even on Hard mode, the majority of the game outside of some Challenges is fairly easy. That being said, the game makes for a relaxing experience at times with its progression. The combat really brings a lot of energy to the game, however, especially in boss fights. The music throughout the game is excellent at setting the tone as well. The narrative is something I really enjoyed personally. There were many heartwarming character interactions, and the references in the writing really show an attention to detail that is rarely seen in the games.
    I am very much looking forward to Sonic Team's next project.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, this game is fantastic! The main “Open-Zone” majority of the game is immensely enjoyable, even for a franchise that only had small pieces of it hinted in past 3D Sonic games (Adventure, 06, & Unleashed). The Cyberspace levels are basically Forces, but with improved controls and a lot of great platforming in the levels themselves. Boss fights are the best that they’ve ever been before in a Sonic game with incredibly designed combat that takes cues from other melee, hack and slash games—not to mention the heart-pumping music that play as each one’s theme. For example: “CAUSE I AM UNDEFEATABLE!”. There’s references aplenty to both the series’ past and enormous cast of characters that will put a grin on any Sonic fan’s face or person that just enjoys Sonic.… 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!
