    Why doesn't Sonic use a pistol? It's a very bad game and an empty open world with activities

    hot flaming garbage
    riddled with bugs, no fun, no story, bad fights
    like seriously, any previous sonic game is better, including any fan made one on roblox or wherever

    Me parece un juego bastante mejorable, entiendo que con Sonic venimos de donde venimos y ha habido juegos terribles y a lo mejor este no esta tan mal, sobretodo porque este recicla muchos niveles de juegos antiguos y algunos son bastante buenos, aunque en este juego se jueguen peor.

    Los niveles normales sin muchos comentarios, sonic lleva muerto en el 3d desde que dejaron de apostar por un diseño de niveles competentes siendo el boost la prioridad absoluta, haciendo los niveles básicamente automáticos, y esto se ve en este juego comparando niveles de los adventures y de los posteriores.

    En cuanto al 2d, un poco más de lo mismo, demasiado centrado en el boost, pero bastante mal, el sonic rush usaba el boost de forma más estratégica y era un juegazo, en este el boost el el boton de correr de los marios si el botón de correr de los marios se pasará el nivel. además no se si es por el campo de visión o las distorsiones o el qué, pero en los niveles 2d se ve horrible, es muy molesto a la vista.

    Además de eso comentar que las físicas son horribles, sonic cuesta mucho de controlar en el aire, tiene el giro en el aire muy limitado incluso al usar el segundo salto, atacar los enemigos es muy lento y las rampas alteran la altura del salto de forma muy poco intuitiva, no depende de la velocidad y cuando estas bajando te baja mucho el salto cuando deberia ser mas perpendicular.

    El problema principal lo encuentro en el overworld, que precisamente es lo que la gente más alaba y realmente no lo entiendo.

    Entiendo que el concepto en si no esta tan mal, al final lo que es este sonic es un mario odyssey con speed, pero esta realmente muy mal ejecutado, correr con sonic es satisfactorio cuando estás en el suelo, pero dejando de lado correr un poco no hay nada más que hacer, al mundo le faltan elementos integrados de plataforma tal como pendientes, loopings y demás elementos típicos de la saga, algo más o menos como lo visto en el utopia, pero no hay nada.

    El resto de elementos del overworld estan muy mal ejecutados, dejare mas detalle en la reseña de steam.

    En resumen: El juego es más o menos disfrutable, al nivel de los más recientes, no es mejor que fuerces, si no fuera porque forces tiene los niveles del avatar, hay 2 partes en el juego, los niveles y el overworld, el overworld es un tramite para ver los videos de la historia y es la peor parte del juego, los niveles son pasables sin más, es cierto que hay algunos bastante buenos (sacados de los adventures y del generations) pero es eso, reciclados, para jugar lo poco bueno que tiene el juego es mejor disfrutar los originales, adventures 2 sigue siendo el mejor sonic y generations y manía son juegos bastante decentes que son más disfrutables que este juego, mi consejo es que si queréis sonic probeis dichos juegos. Y en general poco mas, el juego se ve empeñado también por otros problemas menores como una cámara muy errática y un popping monstruoso    … Expand

    Don´t listen to the fanboys. There is no other way to say it. This game is extremly badly developed. It looks and feels like a 1 man UE5 fan demo. Pop ins right in front of you even on the ps5/series X is a joke. Useless grind everywhere etc. etc. Don´t support this or games will continue to get worse, not better!

    Wow...
    So, uh... this game is Amazin'?

    I did not expect to love this as much as I did, and this is comin' from someone that Loved Sonic Forces!
    But this game is just on another level!
    Everythin', the Story, the OST, the Cutscenes, the Gameplay, The Bosses... there wasn't a single thing I disliked 'bout this one, and I'm still in awe on how much this made me feel good!

    Best 3D Sonic game ever. It's so much more varied and enjoyable than previous 3D Sonic games. Really fun speedy game and there's never a dull moment, and there hasn't been a platformer like this. Music and visuals are beautiful as well. It's a good basis for future Sonic games and if the next game is PS5 and Xbox Series only, it could be something truly special.

    Como acérrimo fan de Sonic me apena muchísimo tener que escribir esto

    Si lo comparo con otros juegos de Sonic, Sonic Frontiers es el 2º peor, tan solo por encima de Sonic the hedgehog 2006 (por motivos obvios, ya que ese juego tenía muchos fallos). No supera a ningún Sonic Adventure, ni a Colours, ni a Generations, Unleashed, ni a Heroes ni por supuesto, al criticado injustamente Forces

    ¿Qué ha pasado con Sonic Frontiers? Pues que es un juego donde fallan todos los elementos de la franquicia Sonic: No tenemos el estilo visual colorido, ni la música tan chula de siempre (la OST de frontiers tiene sus momentos, pero la mayoría del tiempo la música es aburrida), ni los enemigos de la franquicia de siempre

    En definitiva, lo que tenemos es un juego que ha mezclado géneros que por separado han triunfado: Monster Hunter, The legend of Zelda, Phantasy Star, Shadows of Colossus, etc. pero juntos, no pegan ni con cola. Da la sensación de que han metido a Sonic con calzador. Luego, con las críticas del pasado verano, han hecho el "esfuerzo" de meter las fases del ciberespacio, pero seguramente, lo han hecho a prisa y corriendo y les han quedado unas fases muy cortas (y para colmo, es lo único auténtico de la franquicia Sonic). Como resultado, tenemos un juego muy irregular, que de ninguna manera, puede convertirse en la piedra angular de los próximos años. Ahora toca esperar a las auténticas ventas a ver si este juego "convence aunque sea económicamente a SEGA" o les da un baño de realidad pues no es de recibo hacer un mundo abierto que está desierto y construido adrede, para alargar artificialmente la duración del juego. Más les hubiese valido haber seguido con la magnífica fórmula de los Sonic Adventure o del Generations

    Gráficos 5

    El juego es bello en las fases del ciberespacio, pero en el mundo abierto deja mucho que desear. El modelado de los enemigos de las islas de Starfall es lamentable

    Sonido 6

    Es lo único que destaca del juego y lo hace por momentos. La música "triste" o "relajante" no le pega nada al erizo

    Jugabilidad 3

    Se salva de la quema las fases del ciberespacio. Las del mundo abierto no tienen sentido y está todo hecho para que pierdas el tiempo dando vueltas por escenarios vacíos y el juego dure entre 15 y 20 horas. Una vez platinado no merece la pena rejugarlo

    Total 4

    Los aspectos jugables pesan mucho en la calificación y hacen que el juego no sea divertido en su conjunto. Se salvan las fases del ciberespacio pero son demasiado cortas

    As a diehard Sonic fan, it pains me a lot to have to write this

    If I compare it with other Sonic games, Sonic Frontiers is the 2nd worst, only above Sonic the hedgehog 2006 (for obvious reasons, since that game had a lot of bugs). It doesn't beat any Sonic Adventure, nor Colours, nor Generations, Unleashed, nor Heroes, nor of course, the unfairly criticized Forces

    What happened with Sonic Frontiers? Well, it's a game where all the elements of the Sonic franchise fail: We don't have the colorful visual style, nor the cool music as always (the OST of Frontiers has its moments, but most of the time the music is boring), nor the enemies of the franchise as always

    In short, what we have is a game that has mixed genres that separately have succeeded: Monster Hunter, The legend of Zelda, Phantasy Star, Shadows of Colossus, etc. but together, they don't fit together at all. It feels like Sonic has been shoehorned in. Then, with the criticisms of last summer, they have made the "effort" to put the cyberspace stages, but surely, they have done it in a hurry and in a hurry and they have left some very short stages (and to top it off, it is the only authentic thing of the Sonic franchise). As a result, we have a very irregular game, that in no way, can become the cornerstone of the next years. Now we have to wait for the real sales to see if this game "convinces even economically to SEGA" or gives them a bath of reality because it is not acceptable to make an open world that is deserted and built on purpose, to artificially lengthen the duration of the game. It would have been better for them to have continued with the magnificent formula of Sonic Adventure or Generations

    Graphics 5

    The game is beautiful in the cyberspace stages, but in the open world it leaves much to be desired. The modeling of the enemies on the Starfall islands is pitiful

    Sound 6

    This is the only thing that stands out in the game, and it does so at times.The "sad" or "relaxing" music doesn't suit the hedgehog at all

    Gameplay 3

    The cyberspace stages are saved from burning. The open world ones make no sense and everything is made for you to waste your time walking around empty scenarios and the game lasts between 15 and 20 hours.Once platinum is not worth replaying it

    Total 4

    The playable aspects weigh heavily on the rating and make the game not fun as a whole.The cyberspace stages are saved but they are too short    … Expand

    The first Sonic game written by Ian 'donut steal' Flynn. It's not only the worst Sonic game ever made, making 06 **** blush with the lack of technical skill on display, but it's just one long fetch-quest. It fails as a Sonic game, it fails as a game, and it has the nerve to ask you for AAA price somehow.

    Nasty pop in from environments, some levels are really badly designed and every enemy I faced was a chore (maybe with the exception of some like the button robot, which was really quick).

    Feels like this game was pieced together by a committee in order to produce below average rubbish.

    Amazing how reviewers and zoomer morons will flip their sh1t when a game not associated with Nintendo has bugs, but start defending when the world's highest grossing media franchise (Pokemon) puts out a game that has just as bad or even worse bugs and glitches.

    Se me hace raro el ver elementos flotando en el aire como Rieles y tiene un popping que podría trabajarse mediante parches, siendo eso lo malo, lo demás está bastante interesante. Debe ser por lejos el Sonic más complejo e interesante en mucho tiempo.

Not a fan of Ian Flynn's take on the characters (again its a step up since unleashed, but the characters still don't act like how they used to pre colors), and I don't like how he tries to make everything canon to the games (Sticks from boom spin off is mentioned as well as his own character tangle from comics which is so cringe). The voice cast I am still not a fan of, Sonic is too deep, Amy is too serious and sounds like Minnie mouse, Tails too girly, Knuckles is fine. Overall the game is the best Sonic game since Generations (not an accomplishment but a step in the right direction for sure).… Expand

    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!
