    Sonic Frontiers has got to be one of the best Sonic games I have ever played. It's currently in my top 5 between Unleashed and Heroes. Where do I even start? The open zone gameplay feels really nice to play with the gameplay loop of traversing the world, fight enemies and mini bosses to get portal gears in order to go to cyberspace to get vault keys in order to get the chaos emerald. TheSonic Frontiers has got to be one of the best Sonic games I have ever played. It's currently in my top 5 between Unleashed and Heroes. Where do I even start? The open zone gameplay feels really nice to play with the gameplay loop of traversing the world, fight enemies and mini bosses to get portal gears in order to go to cyberspace to get vault keys in order to get the chaos emerald. The structure works really well that I can't really describe it properly. If you are a fan of collectathons then you will love this. For the story, you collect memory tokons in order to talk to the character who is trapped within cyberspace on each island. The dialogue has gotta be the best in the series since Black Knight and I enjoyed the call backs to previous games in order to feel like everything is connected and takes place within Sonic's world. The boss fights with Super Sonic also one of the best, if not, the best boss fights in the franchise. Being able to use the combat for Super Sonic while fighting these Evangelion type mechs with metalcore music playing sounds so good man. Another thing I forgot to mention is the cyberspace levels. When I first played them, I thought they were alright but as time went on, I really like them. The controls are solid, music banging, and the tech like magnet dashing makes these levels amazing to speedrun and to beat your time in. Gotta say the biggest highlight of this game gotta be its music. Top 5 Sonic soundtrack in my book. I love everything from the somber, melancholic tone of the open zone music, to the EDM of cyberspace, to the metalcore of the titan boss fights, and to the orchestra of BGM when watching cutscenes. I could go on for hours on why I love this game but I do have some gripes like the pop in, Sonic feels like he's glued to the terrian (power boost skips using tricks makes up for it alongside rail jumping), Technical issues alongside a little jank but it won't affect the gameplay that much if at all, and the true final boss being a little underwhelming (even tho I still enjoyed it) Overall this game is definetly worth picking up. It's even on sale the time I am typing this so pick it up. Score: 8.5/10 but I'll give it a 9 since metacritic doesn't do decimals.… Expand

    The game looks ugly but it is pretty fun. My first 7 hours playing it seems like just 1h. I didn't see any bug besides the pop in of items. As a fan of 2D Sonic, I'm glad that finally we have a enjoyable 3D Sonic. If you are a Sonic fan, you can buy it for sure. If you are in doubt, maybe you should wait for a lower price.

    The combat and Gameplay can be a bit broken which needs a bit of fixing because some boss can either be easy or annoying. The Game after world 3 gets shorter and doesn't have much to offer. World 4 is just world 1 reused for a sort Of challenge which is pretty quick to accomplish and finish world 5 is just similar like world 1-3 but very shorter and not really much to explore and sage tokens are just reused Amy tokens designs
    As for big fishing mini games it feels to much rewarding to the point you can kinda skip a lot of the game trading fish tokens for important progressing items in the game

    By far the best Sonic game I’ve ever played. The gameplay loop is addicting. The “open-zone” is fun to traverse and explore due to the floating rails, springs, and platforms. It feels like a playground or a skate park. Enemies, especially mini-bosses, have really interesting gimmicks.

    Words can not describe how great this game is. I feel like Sega and Sonic Team made lackluster games for years to make us hate the franchise, only to pull off this Masterpiece of a game. Any critic who gave this game anything less than a 9/90, is smoking something.

Think of the gameplay as Sonic in a open world with needless collectibles to collect from various side missions. Some, of course, are more fun then others, but I found myself spending hours on these. It’s a lot of fun.

Linear boost phases are also present in this game, with the controls uncomfortable as always, and in fact they are the weakest part of the game, but all this is forgivable as it is optional. Sonic Frontiers brings many fun battles with a variety of new enemies, each one requires a different strategy to be defeated and is simply amazing! The game is not very well polished and the animations don't have much life, which can spoil the immersion a bit. But that doesn't make the game any less fun. These are problems that I hope will be fixed in future games in the franchise. Sonic Frontiers is one of the best 3D games in the franchise and I had a fantastic time playing it.… Expand

    En mi opinión los dos puntos fuertes del videojuego son su soundtrack y narrativa Soundtrack: para sorpresa de mucho de regreso a ese estilo rock/ metal de los juegos de antaño del erizo para las batallas de jefe, combinando con temas más tranquilos para el mundo abierto y música eléctronica para los niveles de ciber espacio. En mi opinión el soundtrack está a la altura de lo visto hasta la fecha y algunos temas resaltan y creo que trascenderán para la franquicia, en especial los que son para batallas de jefe.

    En cuantos a la narrativa creo que Ian flyn hizo un excelente trabajo llevando acabo las interacciones entre personajes, para personas que llevamos tiempo en la franquicia las interacciones entre estos se sienten muy naturales y la forma en la que estos se desarrollan durante la trama es más que excelente, se nota que Ian conoce a la perfección a los personajes y también creo que es la mejor representación de ellos en la franquicia (hablando del apartado de los videojuegos) también la historia cuenta con guiños a anteriores aventuras del erizo que a cualquier fan hará saltar de su asiento.

    Sonic Frontiers is without a doubt the best sonic game in 3D, however we must admit that the bar was not very high, the game still has some bugs and weaknesses that need to be improved such as some level designs or how parts of the game are structured. scenario but it is the way to go.
    Let's hope that SEGA continues down this path because it is the evolution that 3D sonic needed for a long time.

    The best boss battles and a cool plot.

    After the first trailers, it was not clear what the game would be. The last big game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise was Forces, and I have very ambiguous memories about it, one of the most negative was that the game was played in an average of 4-4.5 hours... 6/10 Sonic: Frontiers is an open world, which has not been since Sonic: Unleashed.    The best boss battles and a cool plot.

    Sonic: Frontiers is an open world, which has not been since Sonic: Unleashed. Fronts often turn to an older brother and do it in their own way. Some moments are better, for example, the handling of sonic is much better than in Unleashed, but the plot of the game loses to him. However, this does not mean that the plot in this game is bad. He is moderately philosophical, moderately dynamic. Ian Flynn is exactly the person that Sonic Team lacked throughout 2008-2019 (the official start date of development). At first, the game gives almost nothing, for many it will seem dull, but the further progress goes, the more epic the plot. The story of the origin of the chaos emeralds, personal problems of the characters. Characters.... It is in this game that they reveal themselves to the maximum! Impressionable and kind Amy Rose, moderately brutal Knuckles, and finally Miles Prauer, who does not behave "unnaturally" as in Forces, but is really presented as a useful character who helps us, and we help him. The music in the game is gorgeous, 100% will get into the nominees of the Soundtrack of the year 2022. Tomoya Ohtani and the musicians who participated in creating the OST for the game did the best. The soundtrack is divine, the most suitable tracks will be played during bosses (Titans). The battle with them is just a dump of the head. The game does not limit you in any way - parry, attack, use everything you have without restrictions, and all this is accompanied by an excellent soundtrack (Undefeatable - the theme of the first titan). The game is referred to the past parts many times, linking the past parts with the plot of the game, the most unobvious reference that few will reach (requires full pumping of speed and rings), this is a reference to Silver (Sonic The Hedgehog 2006).

    Open world.
    The world is not empty. The map is full of activities and there is always something to do. The world itself is made so that the player does not want to get bored. But there are also disadvantages associated with the 3rd island. This island is filled with activities in 2D space, which draws in and does not allow you to explore the world comfortably. The rest of the islands are made soundly and for all the time spent there were no moments when I got tired of this open world.

    The game also has enough disadvantages. I managed to fall through the ground a couple of times. The third island is filled with "2d section Traps", so this island is unpleasant enough to pass through, but it's worth it. Problems with physics and aiming will accompany throughout the game.

    In general, the game turned out to be cool. I would compare this game not with what came out from 2010-2019, but with Unleashed, since the frontiersmen took a lot from this masterpiece game. The game is going in the right direction. Why wasn't Ian Flynn called earlier? Why are such boss fights only now appearing? I really liked the game, I'm waiting for the continuation.

    The final score is 9.5/10.    … Expand

    This game isn't for everyone. There is a lot of people that are a fan of Sonic's games on the Genesis. There are those that are a fan of his games from Sonic Colors onwards.

They have fun stories, characters, and gameplay. Lately I felt like the series had lost its identity. Characters didn't have arcs anymore. Gameplay was being reused and wasn't experimenting anymore. The stories felt like parodies rather than moving the series forward. I started to rely on the comics to give me the story. It was the closest to what I wanted from Sonic. Ian Flynn wrote the comics and he wrote this. The story and characters feel so much more with what I grew up with and love. The gameplay is back to experimenting. It's back to the Sonic that I love. I'll rate it a 10/10 because it restored my love for Sonic after I was moments away from seemingly giving up on the series. Sonic Team, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for this game.… Expand

    It's the most unrepentantly Sonic game we've had in nearly two decades, and if that doesn't sound like a compliment to you, then you're not who this series is for and no amount of appeasement for the likes of you will be satisfactory (as, clearly, 10 years of it have proven not to be enough), and what this game means to me is that SEGA is finally beginning to understand that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am just gonna say it here: The game isn't perfect. Sometimes the gameplay is a bit janky, especially on some of the mini-bosses. Cyberspace is a bit weak but nonetheless fun. However, the "true" final boss is a bit underwhelming when you compare it to the other bosses.

    However, the gameplay is really fun, the combat is satisfying, the music is a banger, and the story is really good at tying in games of the past, from the beginnings of Sonic to the Dreamcast Era, through into the Dark Ages and the controversial Meta era. Ian Flynn knew what he was doing, and I appreciate that.

    I hope the game will be a good basis for future games and is not discarded like other games in the past. I do also hope for some DLC or a sequel in the future to improve some of the worse-off aspects of the game. Open-zone is a new Sonic style that I hope to see continue, and I also hope that Sage gets to return and continue to be an interesting new character.

    All Sonic needs now is a greater budget than before and more people to help work on future games. If Sega doesn't do that, they are missing out on what could be Sonic's greater potential.    … Expand

    When this game was announced at the Sonic Central presentation, I was very hyped for a new mainline sonic game, but also very sceptical because of how forces crushed my soul with pure deception. But with all the pre-release development we got, Sonic Frontiers is now available in all major platforms, and let me tell you people still questioning yourselves of you should give it a chance: ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY I SPENT.

    Sonic Frontiers is, in my opinion, THE BEST Sonic game ever (yep I said it, even better than SA2). Now that I have your attention, lets talk about this piece of art, shall we ?

    The gameplay is pure Sonic platforming and intense Hack n Slash action: Sonic feels so great to control in these wide open zones (HOLY GUACAMOLE THESE MAPS ARE HUGE) where he fits right in, its perfect. His movements are clean and very fluid, and the skill tree (which you can unlock fairly easily) is a fun and very welcomed novelty in the series. The moves you unlock opens you to a wide range of insane combos you can do, its just amazingly fun I cant get enough of it.

    Second of all are the enemies: WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR THESE ARE! Finally, challenging npcs that actually want to kill you, all they want is you to suffer and they deliver it (well not Dark Souls level of suffering but you get it lol). Theres the small fries that show up alone or in groups, they die in 1 hit usually, the average enemies, again, alone or in groups, but they require some quick combos to get rid of, and the minibosses, which are comparable to actual bosses in previous sonic games (theyre even better in most cases). And then theres the actual Bosses, this is a spoiler free review so all I can say is you better have a few extra pairs of underwear ready, especially for the DMC and Bayonetta fans out there (wink lmao). So yea, enemies, badass designs, hella fun, ggwp.

    Third of all, the Music, I mean, do I really have to say it? Its Sonic Team Sound were talking about, NAME ONE SONIC GAME WITH NO BANGERS, EVEN FORCES HAD SLAPPING OSTS. Music enjoyers, your ears are in for the best treat.

    And last but not least, the story. Again, this is a Spoiler free review so ill give you a glimpse of whats going on here. As from all we got from the pre-release trailer, we understand that the plot involves sonic and his friends looking for the chaos emeralds in the starfall Islands, and there is Sage, who is trying to stop sonic from messing around the place, but it goes even beyond this, like the tip of an iceberg vs the actual size of it. It really feel like it came from the prime sonic era, with adventure, heroes, etc. They gave us back this shonen type of story and it truly is what Sonic is: a shonen hero. Also one more thing, for everyone, especially the veteran sonic fans, you guys are in for one heck of a ride (TRYING TO HOLD MY HYPE)!!!

    All in all, Sonic Frontiers is a SMASH HIT and Sonic Team should be really proud of what they just accomplished. Their hard work really paid off, and it shows how they have this special passion for the blue blur, even after some failed attempts over the past decade. I hope they keep working on this track, its a winning one. This game is literally the "Super Mario Odyssey" treatment given to Sonic: there are no low points here, its a new direction in the series full of easter eggs from all the series and Im glad that we live in a timeline where we can experience it.

Some people have also compared Frontiers to other open world games when it's not even that. The Starfall Islands seem more like Super Mario Odyssey levels rather than a full open world, with a lot of little objectives to do like gather Memory Medals for basic progression, finding Cyberspace levels, and fighting Guardians and other enemies. So, for the average Joe, this is a solid 7/10.
    However, as a Sonic fan, Frontiers is on a league of its own. Sonic Team may have found what they were looking for all along with Frontiers, their identity. Right now, Frontiers is one of the best Sonic games out there, surpassing the likes of Adventure 2, Mania, and Unleashed. Open Zone is a very interesting concept and Sonic Team can perfect it with more practice. The music is amazing as always. You feel in control of Sonic more than ever in Frontiers since you feel like everything that happened was your fault. Sadly, the Cyberspace levels are lacking in visual diversity but the real meat and potatoes of Frontiers is its Open Zone islands, huge open areas full of enemies to defeat and stuff to collect. Ian Flynn, from late Archie Comics and IDW Sonic, also wrote the story of Frontiers and now the characters seem more like their "before Colors" selves, and I hope SEGA keeps Flynn for the next installments as his Sonic writing is superb. The future of the Sonic franchise seems brighter than ever before thanks to Sonic Team's ambition and I can't wait to see what they have in store for the next Sonic game.

My biggest issue being the cyberspace levels feel weird to play often, while not being completely unplayable but definitely need working on. There is also what I've seen so far that the last two islands were actually part of Kronos but split into 2 new islands which is a bit disappointing. but fortunately the main game is a blast. It's fun to just run around and explore the islands and talk to the characters and delve into the lore and story of the game as well as the occasional mention to pass sonic games. The bosses are very fun to fight but the final boss I didn't mind it too much but it definitely wasn't the best. The game definitely should be tried out though, it's pretty addictive. I got a point where I was hunting down mini bosses just for sport. Definitely give it a try, especially ok PC since mods are being made to make the cyberspace levels more fun to play, and hopefully maybe change their aesthetics to have more than just 4 varying locations… Expand

I feel like the size of them really lets you go full speed and have fun while doing it. The random enemy spawns are fun, not too annoying or overwhelming. There is enough variety in the open zones to keep me interested, especially going for 100% on each. I find myself just blasting away an hour or so just running around.
    The stages themselves are also pretty great. They're not too long and give enough of a challenge to be fun without being too frustrating. There are similar places like Green Hill and Chemical Plant, among others and they vary from 3rd person to side-scrolling. They are scattered through the open zones, and need special Gears to be unlocked, but those are easy enough to get.
    The boss battles, the big titans, are also quite fun. You get to be super sonic, which is fun and the music is honestly phenomenal. The battles give a little challenge, but nothing too crazy.
    Story? Well it's a Sonic title, so it's kinda wild with a bit of heartstring tugging. The voices are great too.
    The soundtrack is amazing. Every song rocks from chill melancholy, to heavy metal rock. It deserves an award.
    And, there is a fishing minigame. Different spots for each open zone - find the portal, go there, and fish with Big the Cat. It's super easy and not really challenging, but still fairly fun as you always get something. Everything caught leads to items and currency to upgrade Sonic.
    Upgrading Sonic is fairly simple, picking up seeds and little creatures to turn in with elder Koko. you can level up Sonic's attack, defense, speed, and ring capacity. You can also unlock new moves for Sonic's combos. Those get unlocked pretty quickly, which I don't hate because it means you get to use his full range of attacks for most of the game.
    OVERALL I think it's a great game that is reminiscent of the Adventure series, with bits of Generations and Forces mixed in. People that say the game is repetitive..I'm assuming have never played a Sonic game, let alone a video game in general. Every game feels repetitive after a while from COD to God of War.

    I would give it a 10 if you could play as other characters.    … Expand

    Even though Sonic Frontiers is far from perfect, everything Sonic Team wanted to achieve with this game was paid off wonderfully. It's a step in the right direction for the franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly one of the best sonic games I’ve played in a while it has its problems pop in , trash cyberspace physics, and a rushed ending but beyond all that I still had a great time the open zone was great and controlled amazing the games story was one of the best in years and the boss fights and of course I can’t forget the soundtrack outstanding overall I enjoyed my time with sonic frontiers and am excited for the future… Expand

    After completing Sonic Frontiers, I must say it is THE Sonic game ever made. One of the games of all time. Definitely a piece, no doubt about that.

    This game is awesome :)
    There are still some rough bits for SEGA to work out, but I’m giving this a max rating because it’s a huge step forward for them and what they have here is still very good.
    I’d love to see them improve aerial momentum, more versatile wall running, larger more free roam actual levels, and avoid floating boxes and rails in the sky. But still, 10/10 from me. Can’t    This game is awesome :)

    One of the best 3D platformers I’ve played. The open zone is full of things to do and the cyber stages are fun and addicting to speedrun. The music is awesome, especially during boss fights.

    Overall a very satisfying game with an engaging open world and strong story. A great step forward for the Blue Blur in gaming, while there are some slight issues with the environment such as pop in I would still say that it doesn't distract or detract from the immersive gameplay and characters. I recommend buying and playing for yourself even if you've never played a Sonic game before.

    Exciting for the future of sonic, game gives you some hope for the next installment. Other than being a good start, the game is very repetitive and empty. And lacks polish. Overall 6/10 game is a decent enough for a passing grade, but by no means a masterpeice.

    I would have given this an 8, but thanks to the review bombers I have to give it a ten

    My only real problems is that it has inconsistent momentum physics and the Drop Dash is unnecessary.

    Besides that it’s a genuinely great experience and an exceptional first steps in a fully open world 3D Sonic Game

    However SONIC TEAM NEEDS A LOT MORE THAN 15 PEOPLE GEEZUS

    Sonic's new adventure is quite possibly the best 3D game in the series right next to Sonic Adventure 1 and 2! Controls are a perfect blend of the older 3D controls alongside the boost formula. The story may be more on the simple side, but the character moments and the new character, Sage is amazing!
    For any that are worried about the overworld, I can say with full confidence that the    Sonic's new adventure is quite possibly the best 3D game in the series right next to Sonic Adventure 1 and 2! Controls are a perfect blend of the older 3D controls alongside the boost formula. The story may be more on the simple side, but the character moments and the new character, Sage is amazing!
    For any that are worried about the overworld, I can say with full confidence that the overworld is really fun to explore and Sonic's speed makes it really easy to explore most of each main overworld. There are methods of fast travel in case you dont want to run around all over the place, but I wont share how to get them and it would be best for you all to figure it out as you play.

    Issues with the game:
    This is just a nitpick, but I'm personally not a fan of the 2D platforming, especially when the 3D platforming is so much fun. I wont say its not enjoyable. It has its moments, but I would much rather there be more 3D platforming than 2D.
    --
    The final part of the game is a bit of a disappointment in comparison to the all of the amazing moments in the game and it can lead you to feeling confused if youre not prepared for it.
    --
    Theres a part in the game thats actually the second half of another area, but they decided to label as something new. I'm sure there is a technical reason for separating them, but it would be better to label it as a (part 2) rather than naming it something else.
    --

    To conclude, Sonic Frontiers is an amazing game and an exciting direction Sonic Team can take it that will make general gamers and the fans really pleased! If youre a Sonic fan, this is a MUST BUY and if youre just a gamer wondering if this game is worth the $60, it is but please be aware that the story is more on the simple side is more focused on characters and lore building. If a deep story is something youre looking for in a game, I don't think this will be for you. However, if gameplay and one of the best experiences in controlling sonic is what you want, then this is totally worth it!    … Expand

    This game is great! Just needed to leave this here since a certain YouTube fanbase review bombed this.

    I love how Sonic moves, his attacks, the world and the story, which is the best it's been since Adventure. The only problems I have are with the Cyberspace levels, the constant 2D on certain areas of the map, and the final boss is quite anticlimactic. That, and a certain part in the    This game is great!

    But overall, I think this game is great and, if not the best, is definitely laying groundworks for something greater in the future. If someone at SEGA sees this, please ignore the Dunkey fanbase, they're just being mean hearted to get Dunkey's attention. It's not his fault, he just needs to get his audience straight. But yeah, listen to the actual reviews with actual criticisms, not reviews just being made because "Dunkey said it."    … Expand

    Huge step in the right direction for Sonic! Enjoyed this game from start to finish and the music is one of the best in the series. While not a perfect game the good out weights the bad. You can truly see the love and passion out into this game!

    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!
