    Una nueva etapa para el erizo a Sido definida gracias a este título, pese a sus problemas de rendimiento no logra tirar por la borda lo demás; un control divertido y cómodo, una historia interesante y que te hace sentir que por fin el Canon se mueve hacia alguna parte, y esos momentos de epicidad característicos... Sin dudas este es un nuevo comienzo para Sonic

The Story is also amazing, and the way the characters interact with each other is beautiful, would definitely recommend this to anyone who asks about it Expand

    the best sonic game since mania, tight controls (in the open world), fun combat, cool platforming, my only complaint are the cyberspace controls which feel kinda off but you will get used to them.

    So I finish it and I really love this game and finally sega hired Ian Flynn who knows the characters and the story, so I hope sega will bring back Ian Flynn for the future games

    This game is absolutely amazing. While there is a ton of pop-in, this game is just so fun that I can ignore that. I can't stop playing this masterpiece.

    Sonic Frontiers is definitely the best game in the series, both in terms of plot and gameplay. The soundtrack is amazing.
    The wait was totally worth it, I look forward to the next proposal from Sonic Team, I really want to know how they continue the story with the new direction they gave it.
    In my opinion, the game is a 10 out of 10.

    Se puede considerar el mejor juego de sonic sin lugar a dudas, el mundo abierto funciona ya que el diseño del juego esta bien pensado (para mí de los mejores mundos abiertos jamás hechos), es satisfactorio controlar a sonic y eso acompañado de un combate rápido y dinámico. Me gusta el tono que toma la historia es simple pero entretenida y la banda sonora es muy buena como cualquier sonic.Se puede considerar el mejor juego de sonic sin lugar a dudas, el mundo abierto funciona ya que el diseño del juego esta bien pensado (para mí de los mejores mundos abiertos jamás hechos), es satisfactorio controlar a sonic y eso acompañado de un combate rápido y dinámico.

    After 10 years, we got the very game about Sonic that we want to play. The gameplay is incredibly enjoyable, the plot is good.

    One of the best Sonic games I've ever played.
    It's the best step in every direction for the franchisee. I hope Ian Flynn continues to write for the games!

    Also, don't trust Digital Trends, GamesRadar~ and GamesHub reviews. It feels like Unleashed all over again. Journalists review bombing a Sonic game just bcs it's a Sonic game.

    This trully is a great game. The music, how sonic's control's are fluid, the story and much more. Theres some janky stuff here and there but it doesnt negate how this was a wonderful experience. Hope sonic team continues to get this formula greater and greater with the next games

    Best Sonic game in over 15 years. Made me come back. I love the little throw backs for the adventure games. I have hope to see this formula to succeed in the franchise

    This is the best and most Serious Sonic game since a Long Time! The Overworld Gameplay is quite a Gem with the Option to Scale All Kind of Speeds with Sonic! This Base has a HUGE Potential and SEGA should go with this Direction ahead. Combat is Smooth as you can Change your Attack or Abort them to Change more. Skilltree is a Little Small maybe but its the First time and they can Step itThis is the best and most Serious Sonic game since a Long Time!

Combat is Smooth as you can Change your Attack or Abort them to Change more. Skilltree is a Little Small maybe but its the First time and they can Step it Up! Overworld is very nice made and the Rails allows you to FAST Travel (With Lighting Aura even faster) from Point A to Point B. Cyberspage Stages should be a New Original One but the Old ones when recognizing them are nice and good Paced too if you dont Rush out the sticks fully. The Best is that the Emeralds play a HUGE ROLE in the Story making it relevant to collect them! I played 7 Hours as a Experienced Sonic Player to Unlock the First Map Completly! And maybe will come a Dlc or you have to revisit the Map again because the Map is bigger than i can go and is shown. For every Sonic Fan a MUST! And for Casuals i say Try it out you will have Fun when you use the Sense of Speed directly! Expand

    The game is extremely fun, with one of the best stories in the franchise but it lacks in technical aspects, with a little polish we would have the best experience a sonic game could offer, even so Frontiers is a fun experience with mechanics that will be very well- coming to the future of the series. Sonic Team has an amazing future on its hands, let's see how far this takes us

    I'm not generally a Sonic player, but I figured i'd give this one a shot and i've been loving it. The outdoor zones are not the most visually stunning but they make up for it with how jam packed they are with collectibles. The cyber levels are great across the board, and though the story is kinda nonsensical it's got heart. The boss fight music rocks and there's some great set pieces.I'm not generally a Sonic player, but I figured i'd give this one a shot and i've been loving it.

    this game is in the top 3 of my favorite games ever The influence of the fans in the franchise is noticeable, definitely one of the best Sonic in 3D
    Everyone should give it a try, even if your only option is a Nintendo Switch.
    The biggest problem of the game must be the pop in, but after a while playing you don't even notice it anymore, obviously it can be better, but it's still not annoying

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game adds a lot of aspects from old games in the franchise, as well ask makes references. One of the best Sonic games in history, if not the best game. The open world allows players to control Sonic to the maximum of his abilities.

    The new combat system allows players to deal lethal combos when facing stronger foes. There isn’t too much platforming as we’ve seen in other modern Sonic games.

    The story carries a strong meaning within it that I believe may go over one’s head if they are not paying too close attention. I have no complaints of this game, and hope the majority of the community can agree.

    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!
