    Feels really good. The graphics look pretty good, gameplay is VERY fun, most puzzles are pretty fun too. Just running around in the world is just... fun, but when it get's to the boss battles it's TOP NOTCH.

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

It's a step in the right direction on that front. There are technical issues that I assume will be patched out, or mods for the PC version could easily fix. However, the cyberspace stages are not very fun at all even though I enjoyed the clear nods to stages from other games. There just seems to be a little something missing, making the world and the game itself have some emptiness even though there's plenty to do. I wish there were more meaningful moments in the world other than Sonic's occasional comment, like Sonic Adventure where you could carry around keys or take minecarts or ride on cars, stuff like that made the world fun and memorable to explore. The puzzles in Sonic Frontiers are fun to hunt down and do but I wouldn't say they're particularly memorable or anything like that. But this game made me extremely optimistic for the future and I really loved the story and the music. The characters felt more like themselves than they have in a while and I'm curious to see how they'll grow from their conversations in Sonic Frontiers. The boss music is always hype and there were some cyberspace stages that were worth playing a few times just so I could jam out. And I know I'm in the minority here but I actually really liked the final hardmode boss LOL I thought it was a lot of fun even though it was kinda out of left field. Looking forward to some performance patches in the near future so I can get started on my replay :)… Expand

    the next big thing for Sonic is finally here.
    despite some issues the game managed to be something truly special.

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.    … Expand

    I had a LOT of reservations about this game going in, I thought it was going to be a complete and total train-wreck, my expectations were at absolute zero.

    So... I can't say how incredibly pleased I am to come to Metacritic for the first time in a long time to whole-heartedly recommend a game. It was far, far from perfect but it blows the last 20 years of Sonic games out of the water.

    The open-world exploration translated fantastically, the score and original songs were on par with some of the series' best and the story was a lot of fun. Some of the references to past events felt a little forced, but at the same time it's a nice acknowledgement that Sonic Team seems to want to actually have some character development and depth going forward with the series.

    The "portal" levels were a bit hit or miss, I wish there had been more themes and styles used but for the most part it all flowed very well. I enjoyed how they expanded Sonic's combat repertoire and allowed you to pick between auto-chaining attacks or manual execution.

    The only major thing that left a bad taste in my mouth is the mis-mashing of art styles, with some of the early areas looking like they're from a tech demo and the rest being too realistic to fit into the Sonic universe. It's especially comical in the fishing mini-game. It wasn't enough to spoil the experience, but it was a very odd choice none the less.

    I hope Sonic Team learns from and builds on this formula in the future rather than just doing their normal thing and abandoning it all and trying something totally different.    … Expand

    This is arguably the best step in the right direction Sonic can take. Sonic has managed to reinvent himself in an amazing way.

    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.    … Expand

    Sonic Frontiers is hands down my new favorite game in the franchise. A lot of bold risks were taken with this entry and each and every one of them paid off.

Along the way you solve charming puzzles,Sonic Frontiers is hands down my new favorite game in the franchise. A lot of bold risks were taken with this entry and each and every one of them paid off. Throughout the adventure you're given four large open maps to explore, slide on rails, bounce around, collect rings and each one offers its own level of fun and excitement to see new things. Along the way you solve charming puzzles, play really fun levels like Sonic does best, meet friends old and new, and even find spots to fish. This game is so immersive you can really have fun going just about anywhere or doing anything, turn your brain off and enjoy the peaceful music, run around and have a good time, and always still be doing something productive while just taking it easy.

    That's not to say the game lacks intensity. For the first time in the franchise history there's a combat system that's actually a lot of fun and feels super rewarding to play, complimented by a skill tree and a growth system that always help you feel like you're getting better. Regular enemy encounters are already a delight, but the boss fights really bring a big excitement to an already thrilling game. The soundtrack for every battle feels like listening to something from Linkin Park or other rock bands of the era, always pumping you up and making you excited for each battle, and matching the incredible music with amazing visuals both from the bosses and Sonic himself. Music has always been one of the best parts of Sonic games and Frontiers doesn't shy away from keeping tradition. Much like the gameplay and visuals, the music is also at it's finest. Also the story is delightful and introduces a wonderful new character, while also flushing out the side characters better than any game in the franchise had before.

    While the levels are a lot of fun, I do wish the team had taken a few more creative liberties with the stage designs and gone with some new ideas instead of reusing Green Hills or the old Factory, and the final boss fight does drop the ball a bit by being only a quick time event on Normal Mode, and a mini-game on Hard Mode. These however are only minor complaints to an otherwise amazing experience that any Sonic fan old or new should go on. It's been over a decade since a Sonic game has really connected with me, and Frontiers did so much more than that. I can confidently recommend this game to anyone; it's new, it's different, it's exciting, it's fun, and it's just better. Better than any Sonic game that came before, and my new favorite.    … Expand

    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.

    it’s all wrapped up in a surprisingly dark and existential plot.

    My only drawback to the whole experience are the cyberspace levels, which suffer from a lack of variety and don’t control as smoothly as I would have expected given the rest of the game, but that could just be a matter of personal preference.

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.

    9/10 for me, I had a lot more fun with this game than with the other Open World, Sega if you see this review, don't give up, it's the right atmosphere and the right 3D formula since Sonic Adventure.    … Expand

    Sin mencionar las fases del ciberespacio que ofrecen un descanso del mundo abierto.
    Gran paso para el Sonic team, han encontrado una fórmula ganadora que puede ser muy potenciada para juegos futuros.    … Expand

    Sonic Frontiers is nothing short of awesome. The game has fun combat, decent graphics, fun and challenging levels, and even an intriguing story within it.

    This 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

    Definitely the best game in the franchise since sonic generations (better than generations if you ask me) The game definitely has problems such as pop-in, camera issues, and other various bugs (may be fixed in a patch soon) but the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot. The story is great and well written definitely the best story since sonic unleashed.

    Sonic 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.

    This is far and away the best 3D Sonic game since Generations back in 2011. While many claim the game is just "Breath Of The Wild" with Sonic, the game stands on its own and proves that Sonic still has some untapped potential.

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

    Los puntos buenos son tan buenos que opacan a sus puntos malos, tengo que darle reconocimiento al Sonic Team de haber hecho los mapas bastante amplios para que Sonic no se los pase en menos de 20 minutos, mover a Sonic en este juego es un deleite, la historia es demasiado enganchante, los puzzles aunque no sean lo mas desafiante del mundo son muy divertidos de resolver, siempre en lasLos puntos buenos son tan buenos que opacan a sus puntos malos, tengo que darle reconocimiento al Sonic Team de haber hecho los mapas bastante amplios para que Sonic no se los pase en menos de 20 minutos, mover a Sonic en este juego es un deleite, la historia es demasiado enganchante, los puzzles aunque no sean lo mas desafiante del mundo son muy divertidos de resolver, siempre en las zonas abiertas tienes una actividad que hacer y no te aburres nunca, tambien tengo que remarcar que se nota demasiado la atencion al detalle y las texturas y gráficos son muy buenos, el minijuego de pesca de Big the cat es muy bueno también, y ni que decir de la banda sonora, es una completa obra maestra digna de un grammy con un total de 150 canciones y de generos distintos, las batallas contra los jefes nunca habian sido tan buenas y emcionantes, el combate es genial, aunque a primeras impresiones paerece un machacabotones realmente no lo es y las habilidades de Sonic que puede aprender en este juego le da mucha variedad, los niveles del ciberespacio son divertidos y entretenidos y el diseño de niveles de este es una mejora respecto al de Sonic Forces contamos con diferentes rutas y decisiones que parecen menores pero al final deciden nuestro tiempo final el cual es importante pues contamos con tiempos limite considerablemente estrictos para sacar el rango S, son divertidos de cruzar pese a su brevedad, las diferentes misiones secundarias que nos otorgan cada nivel o el solo desafió del tiempo ayuda a darles algo de re-jugabilidad.
    Aunque este juego no esta exceptico de las cosas malas, aunque no sean muchas son demasiado remarcables, empezando por el popping que bueno cualquier juego incluso Elden Ring lo tiene, pero el de este juego llega a ser algo molesto porque los objetos de aparecen de golpe cuando menos te los esperas, aunque el ciberespacio es entretenido hay un problema con el control de Sonic en este, es algo incompatible y hacer algunos giros es difícil y el dichoso reutilización de diseño de niveles, entiendo la intención de que sean recuerdos de Sonic y del jugador, pero hablando en un punto de vista objetivo esto fue flojo.
    Este es un gran avance para la franquicia y esta es la formula que debería seguir el Sonic Team en los siguientes en 3D de Sonic, si siguen con esta formula podríamos tener juegos de Sonic en 3D muy buenos en el futuro!    … 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!
