    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.    … Expand

    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.… Expand

    it's the game Sonic needed. I don't understand the score of the press reviews. It may have some minor technical issues, I guess due to limitations of the graphics engine, but it doesn't lose the essence of Sonic. 100% addictive, motivates you to do 100% of the game in a relaxed and calm way. A good way to face the future of Sonics 3D, different from a Sonic adventure.

    The gameplay, music, bosses and open world design are great, and the plot is the most interesting one since Sonic Unleashed, and also the estetic of the open zones remembered me playing Sonic Adventure and Unleashed.
    It lacks on the final boss, which is dissapointing, and sometimes upgrading the habilities tends to be really easy when you find out that big the cat and the cyloop give you skill points. And sometimes the cyberspce phisics tends to be weird to control, but you can get used to.

The new controls allow for more freedom, and the speak of this being the “next generation of sonic” is, ultimately, an amazing sign of what’s to come.

    What this game lacks is longer cyberspace levels, with more speed, and perhaps more reason to collect all the tokens found. There’s a lot to collect but very little reason to get everything outside of trophies or pride. I would suggest more varied locations, and more revised and expressive cutscenes.

    Overall - Sonic Frontiers is an excellent foundation of what needs to be built upon and perfected for the future of sonic. The future is very bright!    … Expand

    The graphics and world design is fantastic, and with the Cyberspace levels coming along, never feels boring. The music needs so mention, it's phenomenal, to say the least.

    While not perfect, like the platforming challenges not being natural in the Open Zones, or no ability to play the Titans fights again, Frontiers is an exciting step forward, and more than solid foundation for the future. 2022 has been kind to Sonic, and Frontiers helps push the narrative that, yes, Sonic is back.

    If I was to give this a fair score, it would be around a 8/10. But as someone who has grown with this series, the call-backs, evolution and more found in Frontiers, it reaches a 9. It's not a master piece, but it is a special game that I feel will be loved in the future if Sonic Team continues with this new formula. This game will walk, so the others can run.    … Expand

    Pero obviamente el juego no es perfecto:

    - Tiene bastante popping la verdad, normalmente no es tan molesto pero me han llegado a aparecer estructuras en la cara de forma muy bestia como 2/3 veces y es un poco wtf.
    - En mi caso sitios con bastantes cosas en pantalla como en el "bosque" de la primera isla hay bajadas de 5-10 fps a veces.

    Espero que este sea el camino que lleve la franquincia en los proximos años, como ya he dicho el juego no es perfecto pero esta batante bien para empezar esta nueva era del erizo azul.

    Por ahora le pondria de nota 7,5/10.
    Cuando me termine el juego a lo mejor cambio de opinión respecto a la nota.

    Pues eso ha sido mi tercera "reseña" hecha en mi vida. No soy de hacer estas cosas xd

Fun, gameplay is easy-to-learn, some challenging puzzles, and original soundtrack is out of this world (one of the best video game soundtracks I've heard).

    Played up to the Giganto boss.

    It's all repetitive. Collectibles and nothing more.
    Worst of all, if you pick up a collectible on one of the flying rails,
    you get thrown somewhere forward and have to go back to pick up the other collectibles on one of the other flying rails.
    It's really just an Unreal Engine map with Sonic objects inserted. Uncreative and boring.
    A few speedpads just lie on the floor.

    The Cyberspace levels are pretty straightforward and short.
    As far as I know they always use the same three or four designs.
    One of them is Green Hill.
    Also reuses level designs from previous games in Cyberspace.

    Sonic's speed is frustratingly slow, and you lose momentum every time you don't run straight ahead.
    All attacks except the Cyloop are just cutscenes with no feedback or anything.
    Combat in this game is really just button mashing.

    The game has too many graphical problems.
    Especially the popping of objects from 10 metres away looks really stupid.
    On an RTX 3080ti and Ryzen 5 5600x.

    The physics are buggy.
    Sonic keeps getting stuck on the ground and walls.
    In the tower boss, Sonic always got stuck on the boss during the cyloop because you can climb on it.

    I just watched the story on youtube because I returned the game.
    At least it is better than anything that has come out since Colours.
    But that doesn't mean anything because it doesn't reach the story of the other games.
    It's still mainly just a Sonic story.

    And you can only play as Sonic...

    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.    … Expand

The new "Open Zone" format works wonders for giving new life to a series that's been using the Boost formula for more than a decade. The combat is surprisingly fun, and I found leveling Sonic up to be very satisfying. The puzzles, while simple, are a great way to progress through the worlds and unlock more of the map. They're basically just Mario Party minigames. My only real complaint with the game is that the cyberspace levels can be a bit tedious at points, but even then, I loved going for new high scores and collecting all of the vault keys. But the highlight of the game for me is the music and the insane boss battles! "Undefeatable, "Break Through It All", and "Find Your Flame" are some of the best pieces of Sonic music in the entire series, the latter of which is currently ranked as my favorite song from the Sonic franchise. Seriously, "Find Your Flame" is on the same level as the Metal Gear Rising OST. Lastly, the story actually had me intrigued. I loved learning about the Coco species and Sage is one of the best debut characters for the franchise in a long time. Overall, I'm excited to see where Sonic's future is heading!… Expand

    -Give the game more budget
    -Fix the technical issues -Upgrade the pacing of the story telling and the cinematics
    -Don’t use the same mini game to reaver the map twice. Like in Mario 3D World, you won’t find the same gimmick twice. They should try to accomplish a similar thing.

There is so much to do in the open zone such as, challenges, platform challenges to get collectables and mostly fun enemies and bosses. There is an issue with pop in that should be addressed, however, it doesn't take away from the experience. Sonic also controls really well in the open zone as well, better than the rubbish, slippery controls of sonic forces, the last mainline sonic game.
    the story in this game is more serious and has a more sombre, calmer and darker tone, which is a huge breath of fresh air from the childish, light-hearted stories we've had since Sonic colours. It is great and the best since Sonic unleashed.
    Then there's cyberspace, which can be accessed through portals scattered around the Starfall islands. These levels are great fun and have 4 objectives for each one of them which ads some replicability to the game. However, there are a few small issues with them such as, sonic being very slow even while boosting, (though there is a reason for it) and the fact that there are only 4 level themes. (greenhill, chemical plant, sky sanctuary and a city setting). they really should have added at least 3-4 more themes to occupy the 30 cyberspace levels and not reused greenhill and chemical plant (as they have come back way too many times and it is now tiering to see them again). there are plenty of other old themes they could have given us, such as, Kingdom Valley (sonic 2006), Icecap zone (Sonic 3&k), The aquarium park (Sonic colours) and jungle joyride (sonic unleashed). hopefully, in the future, Sonic team will give us more cyberspace levels with new, different themes, as dlc.
    Overll though these issues don't make this game any less good. The soundtrack is also absolutely fire!
    Sonic is back and it great. welcome to the next era of sonic. or rather, as it is looking like it, the second dark era of sonic. This game is not as good as Sonic unleashed (because that game really is the best in my opinion), but it's still a gem, and I hugely recommend people give it a go.    … Expand

    -Sonic acts as he should but without losing his personality, in every sentence (unless the moment is of extreme tension) has his little joke that finally are no longer as they were in forces. but also has that serious touch and concern.

    -The gameplay couldn't be better, sonic in the platforming moments is no longer as slippery as in previous installments and it feels really good, the combat is entertaining and I like how it evolves becoming complex little by little.

    -Level design, the open world design is entertaining and effective. Personally the world seems to me a mixture of the one of zelda botw but adapted to sonic and elements of the saga.

    -Story: I haven't finished it but I can tell you that when the moment is serious the characters act according to their personality and not according to the personality of a clown like in forces for example.

    BAD POINTS
    -Popping is present and noticeable, not as much as in the trailers but it's there even with the graphics at MAX. This could be solved with an option to adjust the draw distance.

It is true that Sonic games had been becoming worse with each title of the mainline series since 2010, but Sonic Frontiers is finally a game Sonic Team can be proud of. It is not a perfect game, but imagine a situation: a kid had been getting F's for each homework, test, and exam just because they didn't care about school stuff, but one day they decided it is time to work for their future, so eventually, after days of hard work, they brought a C mark. That's not the best result that can be reached, but this C is an achievement for that kid, and if we don't praise this achievement now and just start emphasizing the flaws alone, the kid won't see any point in reaching new heights.

    That's what Sonic Frontiers is for Sonic Team right now. It is a C (possibly even a B), but this is finally a good Sonic game that explores and expands the universe's lore, dives into characters and their thoughts, and brings a fun gameplay cycle you don't want to break for a rest. Sonic is not a meme, and this series doesn't have to do what Mario, Crash, or Spyro do — let Sonic be what he is good at, let him be a shonen for teens and young adults mixed with Nier, MGR, Devil May Cry, and Shadow of the Colossus, and just enjoy what he brings. Admiring Sonic Frontiers is a decent game won't bring you shame, and this is more valuable than trying to pretend the franchise is a constant joke.

    It took me about 25 hours to beat the game, and I want to spend more in it, for the fighting can be really challenging and complex, traversing brings the feeling of excitement, and following the mystical story with no sarcasm in soul is no doubt interesting.    … Expand

The only problems i have with this game is the 4th and 5th islands where you could see they clearly ran out of either budget, creativity or care. and i do not care for the final boss fight of this game nor the pinball segment of chaos island. despite this i still enjoyed the game a lot. the super sonic boss fights were amazing and very raw and epic. This game is a step in the right direction. The past references of previous games, and the development of tails felt natural unlike lost world. Tails setting out to become his own person was a nice setup. And sage potentially being a recurring character is amazing. I wish infinite was too because his character potential was greatly missed. but i feel like sages development was spot on. overall this games story and gameplay are amazing. I love it!… Expand

    I wanted to see how I felt after playing for 5 minutes. That 5 minutes turned into 3 hours and I still had a hard time putting down the controller. The open-world exploration, enemy/level design, gameplay, and subtle background music reminds me of 4 different games. Breath of the Wild, Sunset Overdrive, Mario Odyssey, and Shadow of the Colossus. It definitely feels like an experiment. SomeI wanted to see how I felt after playing for 5 minutes. That 5 minutes turned into 3 hours and I still had a hard time putting down the controller.

It definitely feels like an experiment. Some ideas are well executed and others are a bit jarring/out of place. Specifically, the cyber space levels. The re-imaging of these 2D levels look stunning. But the gameplay for these sections do not stick the landing. I wish that when it comes to the classic levels, they would go a completely different route and have the “Sonic Mania” team design them from the ground up. “Mario Odyssey” executed this idea the best and they laid out a blu-print for it. That being one of my few complaints, I cannot wait to see how future “Sonic” games flourish from the foundation that “Sonic Frontiers” has built. Okay, time to pick back up my controller and… go fast.… Expand

    Sonic Frontiers takes the right steps to setup the next decade of Sonic games. Although the last decade of Sonic has been rocky, Sonic may have finally found his footing within the open world genre.

    For the first time in years Sonic has responsive controls, which work well in his environment. The last time you felt this level of control was Sonic Adventure back on the Dreamcast.

Although the last decade of Sonic has been rocky, Sonic may have finally found his footing within the open world genre.

    For the first time in years Sonic has responsive controls, which work well in his environment. The last time you felt this level of control was Sonic Adventure back on the Dreamcast. The world design is brimming with things to see and do and feels as if it is one big Sonic level. The story is emotional and touching and can leave a lasting impression upon any player which few other Sonic game have achieved.

    The highlight of this game are the titan boss battles. I would recommend going in blind and experiencing these yourself as they are a spectacle to say the least. They are the best boss battles in the entire Sonic series by far and you do not want to miss these if you are a Sonic fan.

    Overall this is a well-rounded game that sets the foundation for the next decade of games for the little blue blur. It strikes a balance between exploration and blistering speed and you never lose control of the player which is an massive achievement for any Sonic game.    … Expand

    While the overall execution could be better, Sonic Frontiers is an excellent first attempt at this "open zone" gameplay. The story written by Ian Flynn feels fresh and new, but also has a ton of callbacks to previous games for the fans who grew up with Sonic. Gameplay wise, Ares island especially was a joy to run around in, and so were the other islands.

    I know and seen plenty of the game prior to release, and its all being confirmed as I go on with my play-through.

    This review is spoiler-free. General stuff about the game:

    Story? Captivating. Serious-toned, characters are faithful to their originally intended depictions, great for all audiences and especially teens and up. A love letter for the old-time fans, and a good and digestible introduction of what Sonic (& other characters in the series) is about (again, story-wise) for new fans. You'll find a lot of lore content too in gameplay elements, such as the fishing game, which is VERY neat. It creates incentive to explore other gameplay mechanics, and cohesion. Graphics/Visuals? Stunning. Picture worthy shots everywhere, makes you want to spend more time on each island, taking the environment in. If not for story/gameplay elements, then simply for the leisure of exploring beautiful scenery. A huge downside is the lack of photo-mode (as of writing) but hey, screenshotting works for now. Audio/Sound? BANGING. Enhances your experience tremendously. Amazing long tracks by many talented artists and groups. Especially the ones for cyberspace. As for sounds you'll find it good, but really the spotlights all on the music.

    Price? Absolutely worth it. If you focus only on the story, the game can be finished in ~20 hours, which is already SO MUCH longer than your average high-price Sonic game. If you want to 100% it though, ~30-40 hours. Especially for the casual players. Wonderful for the price, not too long not too short content-wise, *especially* for a Sonic game.

    Now, what about the nitty-gritty?

    Combat in the game is very fun, you'll be messing around creating your own strategies and fighting style. I LOVE the ability to practice your skills and improve muscle memory - again, this is from someone who doesn't play this style of game. VERY helpful for those unfamiliar and can use the practice in-between like myself. Not to mention how adjustable & customizable Sonic's controls are in the menu, this appeases so many sectors of this fanbase (and out, especially those that are not familiar with controlling sonic) to make the controls THEY'RE comfortable with. This is the most accessible and adjustable Sonic game to date.

    Mechanics are fun to mess around with and improve upon, instructions are clear and you can follow along the game's completion without being lost. You can adjust your gameplay style, difficulty, and how much you want to involve yourself in side-quests and more casual play and not just the main story and combat. *You* get to customize and balance out how you want to play.

    Overall, definitely in top 3 Sonic games out there. A must for new fans and old alike.    … Expand

The music, the gameplay, and the story all make for an awesome and interesting experience. My only real complaint is I think the true final boss “The End” could’ve been a bit better given the awesome Super Sonic boss fights throughout the game, but what we got is still pretty good. Other than that, I definitely recommend Sonic Frontiers.… Expand

Another problem is the constant popping of the game, but I guess this can be fixed in future updates of the game. However the best sonic game in the last 10 years, it was enjoyable and expands many things of the lore, I like that they have developed the personality of sonic in this game, a more serious tone and committed to his role as a hero. I hope this game will serve as an example for sega's next plans.… Expand

    Sonic Frontiers is one of a kind game. It feels nice to have a really fun platforming game with a serious story. I highly recommend this game to both long time and casual fans. This is also a decent entree game for the series, though it does reference a lot of the old games.

It feels nice to have a really fun platforming game with a serious story. I highly recommend this game to both long time and casual fans.

    Sonic's move set is a lot of fun to mess around with, especially when you unlock every single skill. Doing different combos to see how fast you can defeat an enemy, performing tricks after launching yourself off of the terrain with boost, completing cyberspace levels as fast as possible, it's all really fun. The Boss Fights are actually insane and are one of the best fights in the entire series. Each one has a unique vocal song and you use what you learn from the island to beat them. They all have a theme.

    Cyberspace is definitely a weak part of the game but it's still fun, the levels at the start are very weak but once you get to the second or third island they pick up in quality. Like really, they go from reusing level layouts to being full on original, throwing in new mechanics like drifting and skateboarding segments. My favorite cyberspace levels are definitely the ones from the final island.

    Story Wise (No Spoilers) is good. There's a lot of mystery and it's really fun to explore and try piecing everything together. Sage is a very interesting character, Sonic is no longer one dimensional and has his practices and morals challenged, and believe it or not, this game has character development for the entire cast! I won't lie there were parts of the story that felt like they were doing damage control for the past 10 years, but they managed to make it work for the story. There are no longer 2 planets, there is no longer a classic and modern time line, and humans exist outside of just Robotnik. This game is better experienced blind.

    This game definitely is receiving some harsh ratings from critics outside of steam, which is as expected but you should go in and make your own opinion, and if you like it please leave a review. It is important for this franchise to receive as much positive feedback as possible since it is gaming's punching bag, but also be honest. This is one of my new favorite games in the franchise.    … Expand

    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!
