    As someone who isn't a die-hard Sonic fan, I went into this game with an open mind. However, my overall experience was disappointing.

    Firstly, the gameplay didn't resonate with me. I expected a fun and engaging experience, but instead, I found the controls awkward and the gameplay mechanics lacking in enjoyment. The supposed speed felt forced and frustrating, rather than providing a smooth and exciting gaming experience.

    The graphics were also a letdown. While I don't demand cutting-edge visuals, I felt that the graphics quality was below par for today's standards. Character models and level design seemed outdated, which hindered my immersion in the game world.

    Furthermore, the story failed to capture my interest. I appreciate a good narrative in games, but in this case, the story felt dull, and the characters lacked depth or charisma.

    In summary, I felt that I didn't get my money's worth from this game. While it may have pleased some Sonic fans, for me, the gameplay, graphics, and story fell short of my expectations.

    i love this game but it has a couple flaws some of the enemies you fight are jank as hell and also they could have done WAY MORE with the story then what they did but the bosses and the soundtrack is AMAZING and even though i said the story needed some tweeks its a step up from Sonic forces and they fixed up some characters wich is was nice solid 8/10

    I was a massive Sonic the Hedgehog fan as a kid with how he could run so fast and remembered loving Sonic Unleased on my PS3 and watched YouTubers play the other Sonic games back then but as I started to grow up, my excitement for him wore down until I saw some of the trailers for this game back then and it reignited my love and interest for Sonic but after 28 hours of this game, I kindaI was a massive Sonic the Hedgehog fan as a kid with how he could run so fast and remembered loving Sonic Unleased on my PS3 and watched YouTubers play the other Sonic games back then but as I started to grow up, my excitement for him wore down until I saw some of the trailers for this game back then and it reignited my love and interest for Sonic but after 28 hours of this game, I kinda regret the time I put into it which is something I take no pleasure in since I wanted to love this game. Now I will say this, it gets a lot of things right as a Sonic game such as the soundtrack, combat, story (at least not until the end), playing at your own pace, enemy variety, and the feeling of speed. Firstly, it's pretty much a given that Sonic soundtracks are something special and this game is no exception thanks to the rock metal getting you all hyped up, calm music to keep you relaxed while looking around, exciting music to help you feel rushed when trying a challenge and it lands no matter what. The combat is simplistic but that's good since you can learn some cool moves with just a few buttons and it's always fun to watch Sonic use the moves to bully the bad guys. The story in my opinion is not the greatest but it at least gives the characters justice with the writing and performances being true to their source materials although I will say with how short the cutscenes were and how poorly told the story and lore were, the story is nothing short of mixed bag. There's also this fishing minigame where if you play enough of it, you could get the resources needed to move forward in the game meaning if you don't want to explore in the world (which I wouldn't blame you if you don't want to with how boring it is), you can use this minigame to do it all or you can explore the world if you want meaning you can play this game at your own pace. The enemy variety while a mixed bag on how fun they are, I can at least give SEGA credit for coming up with enemies dedicated to their own zones in the map making them somewhat memorable and thank god you take them out differently because if you could take them out the same way, I'd cancel out this compliment. Finally, Sonic is a joy to control in the open world with how tight he and responsive he feels to quickly control so when there's nothing in your path, it can be relaxing to run around in the world. Now with all that being said, all these positives are pretty much hammered by everything else to the point where I was left unsatisfied and unless the upcoming DLC is good, I never want to go back to it. The open world content is some of the worst open world content I've ever seen with how simplistic it is to the point where I feel so bored doing them and it's extremely rare when I ever took the puzzles/challenges seriously and even when I took it seriously, it's only because of how annoying the world was when it shifted to awful 2D sections but what's worse about those is that the camera could break at these 2D sections messing up your viewpoint, for some reason, SEGA literally put NOTHING in the 4th island making me believe this game was rushed for the sake of 2022 GOTY nominations and the team didn't have enough time to put anything interesting in this island, there's also this tiny little thing where the even tiny rock in the way could send you flying in the air for no reason, the pop in is SHOCKINGLY aggressive to the point where if you're doing anything, you have no idea where to go and you could mess up challenges with how awful the rendering distance is so you won't know where to go to rack up points, I can understand this if it was on the Switch on a PS5 when the game already doesn't look particularly good? That's practically inexcusable. The game also shoves in some RPG elements in here but you can actually fill up the skill tree FAST leaving nothing else to with the remaining skill points you may have left once you fill it up, when I finished the game, I had 180 skill points left with how unbalanced this game was. Finally, the final boss for some reason was locked behind the hard difficulty meaning some people are gonna be confused by the ending if they don't play on this setting, wasn't explained in the story, and was unfun to take down pretty much souring my overall opinion on the game. Overall, this was one of the most unsatisfying games I've ever played and left me really disappointed with how SEGA should've delayed this game if it meant it could release it a better state, to be clear, it's obvious they have a working formula here that I could see work in a future Sonic game but this isn't the one so I suppose we can only hope the upcoming DLC can prove that to us. Normally I'd be ok if this game was $40 at launch, but the fact I paid $60 makes me both LIVID and enough to the point where you're better off watching the cutscenes in a YouTube video rather than go out and buy it in my opinion.

    Sonic games aren’t my go-to, the amount of Sonic games I’ve finished could be counted on one hand. That being said I was still excited for this new take on Sonic, even though it came out a day before God of War… whose bright idea was that? Despite shotty pre-release footage I still had my hopes up since the concept of Frontiers was so intriguing to me.

Despite shotty pre-release footage I still had my hopes up since the concept of Frontiers was so intriguing to me. It ended up being a good game, but far from a great one.
    Positives first, Sonic never lacks on great soundtracks, even games I haven’t played I’ve heard amazing songs from, but OMFG Frontiers has one of the best soundtracks in recent gaming history. I haven’t been able to stop playing the vocal tracks since I finished this game months ago (yes I’m very slow at writing reviews). This game truly excelled at its main boss fights, the first 2 are some of the most hype s**t I’ve ever played. I would play an entire game with this style of super combat! The graphics are also really nice if a bit drab in certain locations. Area variety wasn’t all that colorful for a Sonic game. There’s also a surprisingly relaxing fishing mini game that can bust the game in half if you use it enough LOL. The main story is also enjoyable but didn’t hook me as much as SA2 did.
    Now I have to use everyone’s fav buzzword for gaming reviews, JANK. Sonic Frontiers isn’t utterly broken but I don’t think I’ve ever played a jankier game. Playing Pokémon Violet then Frontiers back to back was absolute hell on Earth. I don’t go out of my way to play rushed or broken janky games for content, so my tolerance with unpolished games isn’t that high. Sonic Frontiers TANKS it’s own rating for me just off of how it controls. The collision detection feels random, the running speed feels too slow for the fastest thing on Earth even when upgraded, at the time I played this game there were no immediate updates to fix any speed or collision issues. The amount of times I flew off a rail randomly or a jump had absolutely no momentum drove me to near madness by the 2nd zone. Controlling Sonic feels BAD & soured the entire experience. Combat can be fun at first but other times it’s a clusterf**k. The gameplay loop got old by the middle of the 2nd zone too, collectathons aren’t my cup of tea. The first zone was the only one I enjoyed to the end, simply because it was all new to me. I’m not a fan of the mini games required for Chaos emeralds either, thankfully I got lucky with that pinball one on my first try that everyone seems to hate lol. Some of them were fine on paper but made so much worse because I had to actually play them with all this jank. It all culminated in the abhorrent 3rd zone, a string of volcanic islands separated by impassable gaps in the sky that are connected by single points, making you wonder why the islands are so damn big for no reason. It’s such a pain to travel to said singular point just to go to another island with the same trash gimmicks. Have fun flying off the rails on the way to the next island too with this game’s non-existent but also overbearing physics. The boss of the 3rd zone is also one of the most frustrating fights I’ve ever experienced. The jank of Frontiers really ruined Find Your Flame for me. That’s unforgivable. The 3rd island also emphasized another dumb decision, why doesn’t the map clear as you travel it? I did a lot of the dumb 2D side missions to clear some fog but after the 2nd zone they just feel like janky time wasters. The map should clear out as you travel so it’s not just a huge empty unhelpful blob of nothingness should you want to ignore annoying side content. Speaking of, Sonic needs to ditch these cyberspace 2D levels if they ever want a truly great 3D Sonic experience. These levels all blend together & annoy the piss out of me whenever I was forced into playing one. I’m sure they would be fine in any other game, just not in one with barely basic control of your character. I don’t mean to be so negative & act like this game is unplayable & broken because it’s not. But playing Frontiers felt like I was fighting it to have a shred of fun nearly every step of the way after the first zone. Which is unfortunate because I really was looking forward to this direction for the series, it has potential & I hope if there’s a Frontiers 2 we get something polished to a finer degree.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Empezamos con la zona abierta. Para ser el primer juego de este estilo en sonic esta genial. Literalmente siempre hay algo q hacer, este juego es de todo menos vacío ya q o tienes q conseguir fragmentos, encontrar los ciberespacio, luchar vs los guardianes y además q es muy libre y te da la oportunidad de romper el juego y no en sentido malo. Por ejemplo: quieres llegar a un fragmento en una plataforma con la ayuda del spin dash + momentum y salir volando? Es posible. Para desbloquear el mapa, hay q resolver puzles para q te den una parte del mapa, que haber, es mejor que sea simple, rapido y divertidos los puzles que un dolor de cabeza. Pasas de corriendo como un hamster hasta jugar tetris XD. Seguidamente vamos con el cibergazpacho. NO es el eje principal del juego pero aún así es un potencial desperdiciado, la mayoría son calcos de genereation y como excusa te ponen " son los recuerdos de sonic" vale q sean recuerdos pero no me pongas un nivel entero de otro juego. Además que aquí se nota q el boost no es igual de rápido y fluido q en la zona abierta. Aquí sonic hace el boost y madre mía, no hay cosa más rígida en este juego ( Otra nota: ahora con el spin dash + si haces la carrera ciberespacial te Dan el boost en el cibergazpacho como cuando en la zona abierta tienes todos los rings te Da más velocidad hace q sea mucho más rápido y más frenéticos los niveles, q como digo están bien pero no es bueno poner un cacho de otro juego ). La cosa es q hace falta materiales para entrar a los cibergazpachos ( que estos te Dan las llaves para las chaos emerald ), entonces ¿ con q se consiguen ? Luchando vs los guardianes. Antes explicaré esto: Aqui te dán un arco de habilidades q es simple pero funciona, puedes hacer una variedad de combos que la verdad están genial y es muy frenético. Ahora sí, vs los bosses: estos tienen una propia música cada uno y cada mecánica es única, si, puede que haiga un parecido como con fortrres y squid pero vamos, mentiría si la música no hace que sientas emoción y epicidad. Si bien todo estaba genial no había nada que te volará a otro mundo pero los combates vs los titanes SON LOS MEJORES DE LA SAGA SONIC. Primero tienes que escalar a lo shadow of the colosus al titan y cojer la ultima emerald, q esta bien echo, y luego vas a enfrentarte al titan y EN SERIO, no sabes lo épico que es que haga multiplicación de subnormales a lo naruto, suelte combos y puñetazos espirituales a lo dragón Ball y que hasta C0JA UNA ESPADA A LO FINAL FANTASY. Y la música solo hace que esta sensación de pela sea aún MEJOR. Hablando de la música, es como siempre, bellísima. El rock tirando pa metal pesao en los titanes, la orquesta y último, el tegno. Todos obras de arte. Luego, esta la pesca con big y haber, si eres un enfermo mental que se tira 40 horas para jugar llega un punto en que te quieres matar y esto es una salvación. Los materiales son limitados pero aún así es bastante relajante y sencillo. Para pescar tienes que conseguir unas monedas púrpura que se farmean en la lluvia de estrellas. Por último la historia, d lo que empieza por un salva a los amigos luego es un drama entre sage y eggman + evolución de personajes en todos los personajes y dando el posible origen de las chaos emerald . Estos simplemente aprenden que sonic no es su centro y tiene que seguir pa lante. Amy quiere dar todo su amor y ayudar a todos aunque eso significa alejarse de Sonic ( como esto se ve en los cómics de sonic the hegtog con el mismo autor que es Ian flin), knuck aprende que nunca estará solo y puede seguir su vida y tails deja de ser un inútil y aprende que tiene que dejar de ser cobarde y dejará a sonic por un tiempo para mejorarse a sí mismo. Hasta ahora todo pinta bien verdad? Pues bien , el problema es la última isla. El juego pega un bajonazo increíble y parece una expansión de kronos porque encima tiene la misma ambientación q haber, la estructura y algunas misiones son diferentes pero en otros parecen una expansión. El final boss es el ejemplo perfecto de como NO terminar un juego, aquí no cojemos la última chaos enerald escalando como los anteriores, aquí eggman nos da la última porque se suponía que nos iba a ayudar a encontrar las chaos emerald y al final solo encontró una. Luego el boss SUPREM parece un calco de giganto, pero, ese no era el jefe final, el verdadero final boss es the end, una luna negra que maipulo a sonic para liberarse de su sello y poder destruir su mundo, sage y sonic lucharán codo con codo para derrotar a the end siendo la pele más épica de toda la historia de ES UN MINIJUEGO DE NAVES. En serio? Osea me tienes soltando combos y luego piu piu? Esta bien, la música es tope guay y los diagolos son interesantes pero vamos, es una gran decepción. Si hubieran echo un boss q de verdad sientas q puedes perder si te descuidadas y aproveche todo lo q has aprendido peleando vs los guardianes y bosses de cada isla seria genial Expand

The combat isn't that great the "parry" move is broken and you can hold it as long as you want so it's not really a parry is it a parry is a high risk reward but in this game it isn't Another thing is all the collectables there a lot of "tokens" your are required to get to proceed in the story and the Koco aren't great either there like the Korok In Botw but dumbed down you just grab them with no puzzle and they can upgrade your speed and other things. Also speaking of Puzzles. The puzzle's in this game are too easy and require no thinking But This game isn't all bad though Roger Craig Smith Does a fantastic job in this game. Sonic is no longer annoying and non serious they balance his character out by having him saying jokes but not all the time to where it's annoying. another thing is sonic's Friends they also not annoying like Sonic Force's I Actually Enjoy the Dialogue Between Sonic and his friend's. The boss battle's are amazing I love the inclusion of super sonic and the music is great but sadly that's all I have good to say about this game - 4/10 Expand

I’m a sonic fan, I have been since the day I could comprehend video games. But to say this game is perfect or truly great is actually hurting the franchise, if Sega thinks they did an amazing job with this game, things are never going to get better. This game is “great” for a sonic title, but compared to other games, it’s honestly laughable.. laughable with some great aspects, it’s very wonky at times and poorly level designed (some worlds far more than others) there’s tons of questionable decisions I can’t fathom why the developers would make, easy little tweaks here and there that would’ve made the game much better. I’m not going to go into excruciating detail, but those that have played it know what I’m talking about and how many poor design choices and bugs there are. I get it, making a game about someone who runs super fast is challenging.. it’s in a league of its own in many ways, but there’s no excuse for some of these things. Especially when it took over 5 years to make this game !!! The only reason this game gets a 7 from me and not a 6.5 is because of the amazing titan fights and overall soundtrack.. it may even be just a 6 if it wasn’t for those. Is it a step in the right direction?? Compared to horrendous, stale, boring titles like sonic forces. Yes, definitely. But Sonic Team has A LOT of work to do for their follow up game.. here’s hoping the last DLC pack brings some more fixes and replay value to the table with it’s probably real ending to the game.

Chiedo al team Sonic che venga aggiornato sulla telecamera a volte va dove gli pare e correggere maggiormente la modalità boss a tempo che ha un framerate. che si abbassa troppo e un rallentamento troppo evidente della modalità giocata.
    Comunque oggi ritengo che abbiano aggiunto un bel DLC sul secondo update per ora è 8 questa è la terza recensione. Mi è piaciuto le aggiunte del secondo update rispetto al primo. Poi arriverà una quarta e ultima recensione. Spero che aggiungano tanti DLC Estetici sulla mappa di gioco e nuovo abbigliamento per Sonic. Ora Sonic Frontiers ha tante attività secondarie in cui dedicare tempo. È un buon prodotto.

A gameplay do jogo tem seus altos e baixos (mais para altos agora com o update 2), mas é bem tranquilo aprender a jogar. A física do jogo ainda é beeem quebradinho, mas na realidade ela mais ajuda do que atrapalha, o combate do jogo é muito divertido, e intuitivo (melhor do que o unleashed que o combate do werehog era beem chatinho). E o mapa aberto do jogo é muito bom, ele também tem seus altos e baixos, mas é super divertido pegar os itens do mapa ou apenas ficar correndo por aí. A história do jogo é boa, introduzindo a Sage a "filha" do Doutor Robotnik/Eggman, e fora que a história concerta a lore dos jogos do Sonic e explica algumas coisas da série.
    Conclusão: vale muito apena para os fãs do Sonic, ele é o melhor jogo 3d dessa franquia (e fora que com os updates ele está ficando melhor ainda). Mas para os novos fãs de Sonic/ possíveis novos fãs, eu não recomendo tanto assim, eu pessoalmente indico jogar primeiro o Sonic Generations e o Sonic Mania. Mas depois de você aprender pelo menos um pouco sobre como funciona Sonic, eu super recomendo esse jogo.

    The best game Sonic Team has made in a decade, although that's not exactly a high bar.

    - The music is good, as all Sonic games should be, but is now way more inconsistent in it's quality. The boss themes are a great shake up to it's usual style, but most of the other themes are very forgettable. - The graphics and overall visual presentation looks 1-to-1 like an uninspired SFM Sonic
    The best game Sonic Team has made in a decade, although that's not exactly a high bar.

    - The music is good, as all Sonic games should be, but is now way more inconsistent in it's quality. The boss themes are a great shake up to it's usual style, but most of the other themes are very forgettable.

    - The graphics and overall visual presentation looks 1-to-1 like an uninspired SFM Sonic fan game.
    - The player animations range from pleasantly acceptable to straight up absent.
    - The character acting and animations are severely limited to the point where half the time they're just running the base standing_idle animation which is extremely noticeable when the character's eyes and hands are so prominent.
    - The environment visuals and design look extremely uninspired. Very generic and there was never a point where a location caught my attention or drew me anywhere.
    - The insanely small render distance makes it so everywhere except right next to you looks like an empty barren wasteland

    - The character feel is often irritating, as all 3D Sonic games tend to share. Every single movement option has a number of clunky aspects that make them inconsistent at best.

    - The open world challenges are almost impressively uninteresting and they get repetitive almost immediately. The challenges are so mind-numbingly easy they could put a player into comatose.

    - The normal Sonic cyber levels are (while on rare occasion have a fun difficulty for S rank) all almost exclusively reused content from prior games, with the formula being to spin a wheel of four of Sonic's prior stages twice, and combine the visuals of one and the 1-to-1 map design of the other.

    - Sonic's combat in Frontiers actually starts off pretty enjoyable as you learn what does what. Unfortunately though once you learn what each of your moves do, it quickly reduces to a button masher with extra set dressing as most of the options to your disposal are deceptively shallow.

    - There are an alarming amount of bugs and gameplay hiccups that the game suffers from. The amount of times I found myself clipped into a piece of geometry or flown off into space because I ran too fast on a slightly jagged piece of ground is more than I could count.

    - The boss fights, by Sonic standards, are quite theatrically entertaining, but you will be mostly fighting the camera and shoddy implementation instead of the boss for the parts that are actually playable.

    - The story and writing is pretty entertaining at times and the voice cast brings a solid performance, although the dialogue was sometimes painful and the VA's were left to completely carry the character acting with very stiff animation not doing them any favours.

    In summation: Sonic Team break new ground for the recent installments by adding aspects that were at least sometimes enjoyable this time, although still unable to reach the level of quality of the rest of the industry or even to the quality of many of their fan-made games or spiritual successors.

    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!
