    This game is **** hype. God, I feel the adrenaline in the super sonic boss fights, really gives the same energy as a SPRITE fight and if you know what a SPRITE fight is you know they go WILD.

    Sonic Frontiers has got to be one of the best Sonic games I have ever played. It's currently in my top 5 between Unleashed and Heroes. Where do I even start? The open zone gameplay feels really nice to play with the gameplay loop of traversing the world, fight enemies and mini bosses to get portal gears in order to go to cyberspace to get vault keys in order to get the chaos emerald. TheSonic Frontiers has got to be one of the best Sonic games I have ever played. It's currently in my top 5 between Unleashed and Heroes. Where do I even start? The open zone gameplay feels really nice to play with the gameplay loop of traversing the world, fight enemies and mini bosses to get portal gears in order to go to cyberspace to get vault keys in order to get the chaos emerald. The structure works really well that I can't really describe it properly. If you are a fan of collectathons then you will love this. For the story, you collect memory tokons in order to talk to the character who is trapped within cyberspace on each island. The dialogue has gotta be the best in the series since Black Knight and I enjoyed the call backs to previous games in order to feel like everything is connected and takes place within Sonic's world. The boss fights with Super Sonic also one of the best, if not, the best boss fights in the franchise. Being able to use the combat for Super Sonic while fighting these Evangelion type mechs with metalcore music playing sounds so good man. Another thing I forgot to mention is the cyberspace levels. When I first played them, I thought they were alright but as time went on, I really like them. The controls are solid, music banging, and the tech like magnet dashing makes these levels amazing to speedrun and to beat your time in. Gotta say the biggest highlight of this game gotta be its music. Top 5 Sonic soundtrack in my book. I love everything from the somber, melancholic tone of the open zone music, to the EDM of cyberspace, to the metalcore of the titan boss fights, and to the orchestra of BGM when watching cutscenes. I could go on for hours on why I love this game but I do have some gripes like the pop in, Sonic feels like he's glued to the terrian (power boost skips using tricks makes up for it alongside rail jumping), Technical issues alongside a little jank but it won't affect the gameplay that much if at all, and the true final boss being a little underwhelming (even tho I still enjoyed it) Overall this game is definetly worth picking up. It's even on sale the time I am typing this so pick it up. Score: 8.5/10 but I'll give it a 9 since metacritic doesn't do decimals.… Expand

    The game looks ugly but it is pretty fun. My first 7 hours playing it seems like just 1h. I didn't see any bug besides the pop in of items. As a fan of 2D Sonic, I'm glad that finally we have a enjoyable 3D Sonic. If you are a Sonic fan, you can buy it for sure. If you are in doubt, maybe you should wait for a lower price.

    Characters are being fixed with actual development in them Story is tolerable to watch
    The combat and Gameplay can be a bit broken which needs a bit of fixing because some boss can either be easy or annoying. The Game after world 3 gets shorter and doesn't have much to offer. World 4 is just world 1 reused for a sort Of challenge which is pretty quick to accomplish and finish world 5 is just similar like world 1-3 but very shorter and not really much to explore and sage tokens are just reused Amy tokens designs
    As for big fishing mini games it feels to much rewarding to the point you can kinda skip a lot of the game trading fish tokens for important progressing items in the game

    By far the best Sonic game I’ve ever played. The gameplay loop is addicting. The “open-zone” is fun to traverse and explore due to the floating rails, springs, and platforms. It feels like a playground or a skate park. Enemies, especially mini-bosses, have really interesting gimmicks.

    Words can not describe how great this game is. I feel like Sega and Sonic Team made lackluster games for years to make us hate the franchise, only to pull off this Masterpiece of a game. Any critic who gave this game anything less than a 9/90, is smoking something.

Gameplay is a bit janky, and graphics could be more optimized, but despite its flaws, I found myself enjoying the combat a lot more than I was expecting to. Think of the gameplay as Sonic in a open world with needless collectibles to collect from various side missions. Some, of course, are more fun then others, but I found myself spending hours on these. It’s a lot of fun.

    The soundtrack is phenomenal. Ranging from lofi to heavy metal—there is something here for everyone. An amazing comeback for the blue blur! Here’s to sega using Frontiers as a base for future installments. I can’t wait to see what the blue blue does next!    … Expand

    Besides the cyberspace level controls and physics being slippery as hell this was everything I've been wanting In a sonic game. Story was taken seriously, music was good (as always) and just felt fun running as sonic. I did feel like after ares island the game started to shift a bit in the quality of the level design but this is a solid foundation sonic team can definitely build

Linear boost phases are also present in this game, with the controls uncomfortable as always, and in fact they are the weakest part of the game, but all this is forgivable as it is optional. Sonic Frontiers brings many fun battles with a variety of new enemies, each one requires a different strategy to be defeated and is simply amazing! The game is not very well polished and the animations don't have much life, which can spoil the immersion a bit. But that doesn't make the game any less fun. These are problems that I hope will be fixed in future games in the franchise. Sonic Frontiers is one of the best 3D games in the franchise and I had a fantastic time playing it.… Expand

    En mi opinión los dos puntos fuertes del videojuego son su soundtrack y narrativa Soundtrack: para sorpresa de mucho de regreso a ese estilo rock/ metal de los juegos de antaño del erizo para las batallas de jefe, combinando con temas más tranquilos para el mundo abierto y música eléctronica para los niveles de ciber espacio. En mi opinión el soundtrack está a la altura de lo visto hasta la fecha y algunos temas resaltan y creo que trascenderán para la franquicia, en especial los que son para batallas de jefe.

    En cuantos a la narrativa creo que Ian flyn hizo un excelente trabajo llevando acabo las interacciones entre personajes, para personas que llevamos tiempo en la franquicia las interacciones entre estos se sienten muy naturales y la forma en la que estos se desarrollan durante la trama es más que excelente, se nota que Ian conoce a la perfección a los personajes y también creo que es la mejor representación de ellos en la franquicia (hablando del apartado de los videojuegos) también la historia cuenta con guiños a anteriores aventuras del erizo que a cualquier fan hará saltar de su asiento.

    Y la mejor parte del juego son las batallas de jefe, tanto como su música, gameplay y cinemáticas es lo de lo mejor que se a visto en la franquicia    … 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!
