    It's a solid game with a big open world to explore, good platforming experience, fast paced combat and puzzle solving. Puzzles are too easy though combat is pretty fun. the beginning of the game may be a bit slow to progress, anyway it's a good game. Far from perfect, but it's the good game Sonic deserved

    Most fun ive had with a sonic game in a while, game definitely had issues (mainly the pop in and the occasional camera bugging out) and by no means was the gameplay perfect but was able to capture the speed and fun ive wanted in a 3d sonic game for years. the combat was enjoyable but kinda wish there was some more skill involved especially with the parry as you can just hold it down sameMost fun ive had with a sonic game in a while, game definitely had issues (mainly the pop in and the occasional camera bugging out) and by no means was the gameplay perfect but was able to capture the speed and fun ive wanted in a 3d sonic game for years. the combat was enjoyable but kinda wish there was some more skill involved especially with the parry as you can just hold it down same with certain moves especially projectile based ones where you could just spam them which felt cheap, enemy variation was nice especially the gaurdians which act as mini bosses scattered through out each zone. I didnt find cyberspace that bad as everyone was saying it was, only the occasional 2d level felt slow and just not nice to play but most of them were somewhat enjoyable, but if anything the peak of this game was its boss fights, these almost had me jumping out of my seat and along with the amazing soundtrack this game had especially during boss fights they just out. I feel like the story is lacking if you havent played or dont have a lot of knowledge of prior sonice games as it somewhat does rely on you to know some characters there history and even previous events for you to you to get that full experience but as someone who has that knowledge, the characters were represented in a way that just felt right and the story was nice especially for lore. The only thing id say about the ending and final boss is that it was somewhat anticlimactic especially compared to prior parts of the game and even other sonic final bosses but had some nice character moments and although not the best ending still felt satisfying. Overall one of the best sonic games to date, its best moments are amazing and its worst can feel slow and tedious. For sonic fans this is a must buy and would honestly give this a 9/10 but for casual gamers who arent too familiar with the series this game will feel more like a 7/10… Expand

    This is my first ever review of a video game on a website so sorry if it isn't well structured.

    Open World Gameplay: (8/10) Putting sonic in an open zone with the fastest boost mechanic in the series felt amazing!

    Open World Gameplay: (8/10)
    Putting sonic in an open zone with the fastest boost mechanic in the series felt amazing! Similar to Spider-man on PS4 the movement never got stale and at times I'd just be running and exploring the game just for the fun of it! The movement felt amazing most of the time, there are slight hiccups like the 2D camera getting in the way, some structures sonic should be able to run up on just don't work but overall the movement is one of the best in the series. Sonic actually turns extremely well!
    Though a little negative on the gameplay is that the structure of the gameplay did get repetitive and the quality of the islands got worse, the fourth island wasn't even an island in terms of exploration and looked familiar to Kronos & the last island just felt like an expanded Kronos, I was hoping with a snow island but oh well. But overall very good! The combat I was really shocked by, the combat is pretty good! Sonic has a vast skill-set & enemies that sonic faces all have different attack patterns and effective ways to beat them, overall the combat is definitely something to enjoy! The boss battles are AWESOME! Super sonic never felt so powerful before and the fact it's the same combat as the open zone but stronger, faster and even special interactable cutscenes makes it even better! Though I did wish the parrying in the combat was timed based in hard mode. Overall the gameplay is pretty good! A few things could make it the gameplay even better would be Momentum, Harder enemies, Health bar (You can barely die with rings), parrying being timed based, more to do in the open zone than collecting collectables (for a future sequel I hope!) Overall I'm a super fan for the open zone gameplay! Fishing is actually playable unlike SA1, good choice sonic team!

    Cyberspace Gameplay: (5/10)
    I know this is a low score, but overall cyberspace wasn't as important as the open world since cyberspace acts like special stages to get the Chaos Emeralds. Cyberspace levels when compared to the prior games felt really off, sonic controls completely differently in cyberspace when compared to the open world and can't be customized (C'mon)! Sonic controls badly, the level design is just re-used assets from prior games besides the city stage, levels are extremely short and overall just isn't as good as Generations, Unleashed, Colors!

    Story: (6.5/10)
    This might be one of the lower scores in terms of category but when it comes to frontiers story it is definitely headed to the right direction. The story has a more mature setting and theme which I'm all down for, a big improvement over forces laughable story. The best part in my opinion in the story were the characters interactions, Ian flynn does an amazing job of writing the dialogue and makes it feel so natural, the references were quite nice! But overall though the story is an improvement compare to forces and generations, when comparing the potential of the story compared to prior games Sonic Adventure 2 & Sonic & The Black Knights this story felt rushed, I feel with some extra time and some polishes the story could of been a much higher score. Near end of the story it felt really rushed, I was expecting a nice conclusion with all the characters, was actually interested in Sonic's cyber corruption and was wondering how he would go back to normal, but literally within the same cutscene Amy, Knuckles and Tails just enter inside him and fixes him? Didn't feel like their was tension to his cyber corruption even though it was building through the entire game, the outlines are there for a great story but felt flat for me. (Sonic team please just make Ian Flynn the main writer for the game, I think if he had more control aside from dialogue it would of been amazing!)

    Music: (9/10)
    Sonic has never disappointed with their music, but this game's soundtrack is so good! "Undefeatable" is my current favorite. The open world music as calm instrumental music for each island, which definitely fits the story's mysterious theme, but when the boss's come expect rock and metal! Sadly no crush 40, the music still slaps and definitely worth a listen even outside playing the game.

    Conclusion:
    Overall this is a step in the right direction and I would be lying to say Sonic in an open space isn't fun, It's EXTREMELY fun! Though not a perfect game, this formula with some revisions and add-ons could create an even better game! I hope sonic team doesn't drop this open zone formula, but adds more to the game to make it even better!

    My main points to improve the game for a sequel would be:
    - Post-Game Content
    - Momentum (I know drop dash has it but talking about overall movement)
    - More content besides collecting collectables
    - Other playable characters with different gameplay

    Overall this is a good leap forward for the franchise, thank you sonic team!    … Expand

    The open world is very fun to explore and is full of things to do. Sonic controls better in 3D than any of the more recent 3D titles. As for cyberspace; the 3D ones are mostly great, the 2D stages are alright. Overall the game is great but the cyberspace stages are a bit uninspired in terms of design and visuals.

The game has a gameplay loop of exploring the islands to find tokens, fighting mini-bosses (Which I actually felt there weren't enough of at some points), and running through Cyberspace. Cyberspace physics were janky, and it took me a while to accept that many stages re-used old level design, but it was fun recognizing certain level layouts from Sonic's past. One thing I'd like to see in a potential follow-up to this game is replacing Cyberspace with more "levels in the open zone"- it's hard to understand what I"m describing if you haven't played the game. Though I still have a good amount of the game before I beat it, I've really enjoyed all of it so far, and I can't wait to see how Sonic Team takes what they've learned from this game to make something ven better.… Expand

    After all these trailers the gameplay is really great with a lot of abilities for sonic (fight, drop dash, air boost…) and this is something new for the franchise I appreciated that because it works.

    Obviously there are many ennemies and bosses on the islands but I think you’ll have the same ennemies again and again it seem it will be kinda boring but you have different options to fight those ennemies.

    The average popping is a negative point, we are in 2022 and this isn’t esthetic for the game and I feel like a lack of time for the sonic team.

    The story is immersive and I found my sonic, this guy so cool and ready to help his friends no matter what, knuckles tails and Amy are fantastic i feel this link between the characters.

    Now let’s talk about the cyberspace and… Im split.
    We are tired of the same stages: Green Hill Chemical plant and sky sanctuary… okay it’s sonic memories BUT there are A LOT OF levels through the sonic games.
    Like you have: Spagonia, Kingdom Valley, twinkle mountain, jungle (sonic adventure 2 stage) I can’t trust they didn’t think about that.
    The gameplay is weird sonic seems like is so slow you don’t this feeling of soled through the cyberspace.
    The animations is mediocre when sonic is on rails and ****
    But In the same time I liked the cyberspace, I’m a sonic fan and these stages remind me these 3D games like unleashed and generation even if the gameplay isn’t good compared to unleashed/generation.

    Super sonic ? Super sonic oh my god it was one of my favorite part, the titans are amazing and terrifying and versatile. Giganto raven and samouraï was amazing and the freedom for super sonic is amazing too not just boost through the ennemie and that’s all, hell nah you’ll fight the ennemies and find strategies to hit’em up.

    To conclude sonic frontiers was a good game for me, he has his qualities like his defaults but it was really fun and immersive on all points.

    not 20-30 hours like the developers said it was gonna be, I finished it in 12 hours but it’s still a good length for a sonic game…I’m not complaining maybe they meant for causals…anyways now what did I think of it?

It’s a good game a great game even, best 3d sonic game I’ve played in a while, now while I had a lot of fun playing it I don’t think it’s THE best honestly I’m still gonna have to give that title to unleashed yeah I know it might be a hot take but while it’s a HUGE step up from forces (that disastrous game) it still doesn’t surpass unleashed or even adventure 2. First off I loved the open world I loved running around and getting mentally lost in it doing all the challenges and going through all the obstacles, loopty loops, springs and all that though I do get why some people like that I personally love it because that’s what sonics all about is going through all those obstacles and there’s a bunch of then to go through and explore. Now I’m not gonna get into spoilers but the last 2 islands were kinda disappointing and the 3rd island is probly the most annoying it’s just full of 2d sections that you HAVE to go through, you can’t escape from it I lost count on how many times I accidentally gone into a 2d section I already went through being forced to go through it again until I find an escape route, also the cyberspace levels…while they are fun at times the customized controls for the open world doesn’t apply and I honestly don’t get why and due to that controlling sonic is pretty bad he just feels stiff and awkward and SIGNIFICANTLY slower the levels themselves are pretty good but controlling sonic…not so much and I’m also not a fan of sonic stopping when he homing attacks. I LOVE the combat and the skill trees I definitely felt powerful when I used different attack variations and combos especially during the big open world bosses now as for the final boss again no spoilers but it wasn’t as good as I thought it was gonna be it definitely doesn’t surpass dark gaia and surprisingly the first island was the most fun to playthrough and there was definitely quests that I did NOT like but for the most part I enjoyed myself the story wasn’t really “tear jerking” and “emotional and serious” as they hyped it up to be and it’s pretty much what you expect with the “my friends are my power” cliché but it was still a pretty good story and I had a LOT of fun playing this one, overall I give it a 8/10 hopefully one day sega and sonic team will make a game truly amazing that’ll surpass unleashed and adventures 1-2 while that’ll definitely be hard if they continue going this route I think it’s definitely possible, I’m very excited for the future of sonic!… Expand

    Let's hope that SEGA continues down this path because it is the evolution that 3D sonic needed for a long time.

    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!
