    Sonic Frontiers isn't just an regular open world game with floating assets and puzzles. It's an masterpiece, peak game, an amazing experience that everyone can enjoy!

    Don't mind the critics, this one is THE GOAT

    Desideravo da quando ho 6 anni questo gioco, quando ero piccolo mi innamorai della saga grazie a Sonic Advance per Gameboy sp e Sonic Heroes per la prima Xbox, la critica non ci ha mai capito nulla, Sonic è il gioco più figo e più divertente al mondo

    Modern Sonic is back! This is my favourite game now dethroning unleashed and its all deserved.

The Story is good and the characters are well written with actual dialogue and cutscenes. The jokes don't feel forced or aren't funny and instead flow in perfectly while keeping the games serious tones. The character interaction is the best we've ever seen in the series and each of the characters relations with each other are greatly displayed. However the game does has it flaws but the pros so massively outweigh its cons that I can't help but overlook some of them because the game is still so fun to play.
    Now I hope Sega continue with this new identity for the franchise and expand upon it through DLC and a sequel.    … Expand

    es la perfecta combinación de Sonic clásico respecto a este nuevo juego, atreviéndose a realizarlo con un mundo abierto, me encanto jugar con el erizo en diferentes ambientes. muy buen juego aunque entiendo que no es apto para Dogmáticos de los videojuegos

    Just an all around epic time with the blue blur! It’s a bit of a proof of concept and has some room to grow, but if you’ve at all been a fan of the series in 3D, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. The physics could be more satisfying, but it still allows you to pull off some impressive feats of speed in both the overworld and cyber space

    Truly one of the best 3D Sonic games ever made. They have rewritten the "boost" formula and it is much smoother than Unleashed or Forces.

    Without a doubt, one of the best Sonic experiences I've played so far, a little janky at times, but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment traversing through the islands. And the combat truly sets a new standard for Sonic from now on.

    This is probably the best sonic game in over a decade. After sonic forces sonic team really gave it their all here.
    Though frontiers has a really bad pop in issue. I feel the fun gameplay kinda makes it not that much of a problem in the long run.

    Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in the entire franchise!

    This game in it of itself is a masterpiece regardless of Sonic games! The open world is so fun to explore and you can run freely and platform at full speed and fight enemies, bosses and Titans, it's so fun! You can also combat and fight a lot of unique enemies and bosses, and unlock a lot of new combat moves and    Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in the entire franchise!

    You can also combat and fight a lot of unique enemies and bosses, and unlock a lot of new combat moves and skills, at the skill tree!

    You can also upgrade Sonic, you can upgrade his strength, speed, ring capacity and defense!

    The story is the best out of the whole franchise, and the voice acting is very good, Roger Craig Smith did an amazing job as the voice of Sonic!

    The music in this game is incredible and it's the best music in the entire franchise!

    The Super Sonic fights against the Titans were amazing and some of the best fights in a video game!

    Thank you Takashi Izuka and ESPECIALLY Morio Kishimoto who created this MASTERPEICE!
    The 5 years wait was definitely worth it.
    Thank you SEGA and thank you Sonic Team!    … 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.

The way the controls and the open world is designed makes the game feel so good to run around and play in. Especially those super sonic boss fights at the end of every island , those are spectacular. And much much more about the game I could go on for a while stating the good in the game.… Expand

    Sonic Frontiers is finally a return to form for the Modern Sonic universe, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m in Island 4 as of righting this and it’s already a top 3D Sonic game, bar none. Sonic frontiers is genuinely a great game, and there are literally so many little things that could be done to make it an actual masterpiece. I’m so excited.

    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!
