    I genuinely feel this is a FUN game. FUN is the keyword. Its alot of stuff to do and its really fun doing it.
    The game is not to serious about the story, but it sure hell is alot of fun to speed around in the levels. Nothing drags in this game. This sort of game is needed in the context of other games like God Of War, The last of us who is very story driven games.

    Bought the game on PS5 and it's a marvel of a game, honestly I didn't expect to sink my teeth into something so good, although the physics in cyberspace could use some work for the next iteration of whatever the next game decides to be, however the physics in the open zone feel like a dream to control, the story although not hard to get into is one of the most detailed stories we'veBought the game on PS5 and it's a marvel of a game, honestly I didn't expect to sink my teeth into something so good, although the physics in cyberspace could use some work for the next iteration of whatever the next game decides to be, however the physics in the open zone feel like a dream to control, the story although not hard to get into is one of the most detailed stories we've gotten in quite a while since, Tomoya Ohtani's work in this soundtrack is amazing, Somber for the open zone, Midi for the cyberspace levels and banging punk rock music for the bosses.… Expand

    The Sonic I've been waiting for for so long! Initially, I was skeptical about this game, but after playing, I realized that this is the best Sonic game, right after the Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic Team did an incredible job! You have found the right way! Strong 9 points!

    Sonic Frontiers is an evolution of the traditional boost formula that brings a fresh new step in the right direction, in terms of adding an open “zone” element, beautiful storytelling, and a noteworthy improvement in the voice acting direction.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On of the best sonic games EVER in my honest opinion. 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

    The game elevates sonic the hedgehog by mixing up its formula, he's now in an open world and sonic team has done an awesome job doing it, story is great too! It has its issues but a great game nonetheless!

    Sonic Frontier is a very fast-paced game on a huge map. And it is an open world 3D action RPG game. Ninja, Naruto, Inuyasha, Sekiro, Ookami, and Son Goku such as Ninja, Naruto, Goku, etc. are the best in this game where you can run at super fast speeds and have fun fighting.

    the open world is very fun to play you have very much things to do combat is solid but fun movment is great you can customize the movment story very good animaations better than before overall one of the best sonic game in my opinion and please play on hard mode to get good ending and check sometimes that it is on hard beacause it can change if you die too many times.

    Truly not an exaggeration to say sonic is back, the love for the characters and lore of the franchise can be felt throughout the game. The boss fights alone are better than anything sonic has given us since Unleashed. This is the way forward for sonic

    Great game, can’t stop playing it.
    Only thing i dislike are the 2D cyberspace levels, everything else is amazing. The attention the detail is incredible and Flynn did great with the dialogue. It really feels like you’re interacting with people and not robots or npcs. The game is also super loooong, i bought it on release day and i’m not even close to finishing it. So much content!

    Finally we were given the opportunity to experience Sonic's speed to the full, without being restricted to linear levels. I also liked that Sonic started to remember his past adventures, as it ties the games together. The only thing missing is the ciao garden, but I think it will come back at some point for sure

    Extremely fun to explore the open zone areas, to follow the story and to beat the cyberspace levels.

    The new combat system implemented and movement felt pretty nice to use and control, giving more options for beating enemies and new ways to reach certain areas. Sonic OST usually is fantastic, but i can't express how amazing this soundtrack actually is, never get tired of it and it    Extremely fun to explore the open zone areas, to follow the story and to beat the cyberspace levels.

    Never was a fan of Sonic, but this game is excellent. Insane dynamic blend of so many gameplay mechanics in open world that is happening so rarely. Strangely reminding me of Returnal action game due to fast pace and cool atmosphere.

En cuanto a la banda sonora, como era de esperar en un juego de sonic, es sencillamente casi perfecta, en cuanto a detalles sonoros, es muy comodo escuchar las acciones de Sonic en este mundo abierto, que tiene un diseño de nivel increible.

    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!
