    If Elden Ring is 7.8, Sonic Frontiers is -34.5. Sega should've stayed in the past when it was actually good. Now their name is forever destroyed. Welcome in the BioWare team.

    Holy **** is this game bad, first of all all of the obstacles and stuff feels forced and just not like a part of the game th maps look boring with some average ass hills desert and bro stage 3 is just the worst, the combat is boring and it only becomes somewhat okay at bosses but bosses are just gimmicks that you have to repeat over and over again the skill system feels out of place.

The game was probably rushed because sega notice that oh **** sonic is popular we have to make quick money. If you wanna play a good sonic game just play the original bro it is very good.… Expand

    I have finished the game now. To see such weak game receive so many 10's especially considering the AAA price tag is just outrageous.

    So many recycled assets. The sensation of open world game is completely ruined because there are a bunch of cut-and-paste parts of previous Sonic games just glued around, full of automation.

    I wonder if Sonic fans plays any other games different than Sonic games. There are a ton of better games out there with this pricetag. The game feels as unpolished sometimes as a fangame made by an amateur programmer.    … Expand

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 series! 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.

    This is the first 3D Sonic game in a long while to really feel ambitious. It feels like a game with a beating heart and soul. Unfortunately, the game takes a pretty steep dive in quality halfway through. The islands become less fun, the story starts feeling super rushed, and the last 2 bosses were AWFUL (one was way too easy and the final boss just sucked).

The islands become less fun, the story starts feeling super rushed, and the last 2 bosses were AWFUL (one was way too easy and the final boss just sucked). I have a lot of nitpicks and complaints but the game is still incredibly fun. Sonic feels great to control, the islands (for the most part) are a blast to explore, and the dialogue is a huge step up from previous games. Overall it's a good first step in a new direction, and just a fun time in general, but they need to improve upon it heavily to keep fans interested, Make the next game a lot more difficult, make it more consistently fun, make the story more engaging, and give us more post game content after completing the main campaign.… Expand

    Overhyped. Games doesn't deserve more than a 6/10. It's maybe a good step forward, but it's not enough. Feels like they didn't finish the game and just released it for the 'November Tuesday'. They didn't even marketed it right, so nobody even notice that it was on Tuesday, so what's the point?

    They could do so much better. They wanted the same impact like 'Sonic Adventure' did, but    Overhyped. Games doesn't deserve more than a 6/10.

    They could do so much better.

    They wanted the same impact like 'Sonic Adventure' did, but if you compere this two, Frontiers is soooo bad.
    Like all the stage has the same old design, and that fine for some levels, but not ALL OF THEM. Not even single one new design. When in SA every lvl was different. In SA it was interesting to replay the stages, and you could play some new missions after completing the game. Here almost all stages you could beet at 100% from the first try.
    But if you read about first open-world Sonic game, and decided not to finish some island at 100% you couldn't come back later, cuz it's not open-world. And after game is finished, that's it. You can only start a new game.

    And the whole thing with collect memories is super boring. They could do them like 10-20 instead of 100, just hide them and make interesting to look for. Like give us the real memories of characters, instead of just some figures.
    And why the only two female characters both have Hearts as they memories figures, while Tails and Knuckles have unique ones? Probably cuz they stop working on the game after 3 island. Or mb they are just sexists and didn't come up with something interesting for girls but hearts. Idk.

    They should did Amy, Knuckles and Tails playable from the start, to show us what happening to them. And the fishing part looking so stupid.... I loved playing as Big in SA, but here it looks ridiculous. But i should agree, it's useful, cuz at the last island you would be soo bored of the game, and you wont wanna look for the memories for the 4 time, so catch some fish and trade for the memories instead is sooo good to finish earlier.

    And some Koko instead of Chao? Really? Nah, chao deserve something better than this game anyway.
    I could say so much more, but im just pissed that game has 8 score and someone even voting for the game of the year. It would be so lame if developers would see that people liked it and will continued to make games like this.    … Expand

    Structures dedicated to movement are not integrated on the scenery, but rather floating without explanation. The combat is too simple. the puzzles are too easy even towards the end of the game.

    No, this doesn't deserve GOTY.
    This is just a pathetic attempt at copying what is making other games popular without understanding what is fun about it. Inconsistent story, tedious missions and awful movement.

    Sonic Frontiers is a very fun experience on PS5, PS5 is the best way to play it hands down because of No Denuvo or Bad Performance. Frontiers delivers a very fun experience in the open world sections but the Cyberspace stages are very poorly designed

    Era da ben 11 anni che non ho avuto la possibilità di giocare un gioco di Sonic che mi divertisse tanto , la storia è ai livelli degli Adventure quindi non mi soffermerò a dirvi quanto sia fatta bene con un misto di momenti felici, nostalgici, referente al passato e momenti strappa lacrime .
    Per il gameplay è tutto abbastanza fluido se non pochissimi frame di lag ma moooolto trascurabili ,    Era da ben 11 anni che non ho avuto la possibilità di giocare un gioco di Sonic che mi divertisse tanto , la storia è ai livelli degli Adventure quindi non mi soffermerò a dirvi quanto sia fatta bene con un misto di momenti felici, nostalgici, referente al passato e momenti strappa lacrime .
    Per il gameplay è tutto abbastanza fluido se non pochissimi frame di lag ma moooolto trascurabili , l'esplorazione è stupenda e non annoia e dà un che di rilassante nello sfrecciare ovunque per raccogliere il necessario per progredire o per farsi un giretto tra le isole , il cyber spazio meh di poteva fare di meglio dato che i livelli erano abbastanza corti e non velocissimi ma sono comunque ok .
    I boss (solo titani) tutti divertenti l ultimo un po' deludente ma comunque bello da affrontare e si redime in ciò che viene dopo.

    This game is so **** ass that I can't even explain it. The gameplay drags on, characters are derailed, personalities are annoying, landscapes are uninteresting, the game does not provide an enjoyable experience. This is worse then sonic R. I would rather be constipated and **** out bricks for the rest of my life then deal with this piece of **** game that functions worse then a 2020s pokemon game.

    The map is unnecessarily large and collecting items is a hassle.
    There are no interesting stages.
    Bosses are hard and enemy designs are unattractive.

    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!
