    This game was also blessed with amazing writing as well, fixing many character flaws that ran rampant in previous titles.
    However, while it has more redeeming qualities, this game is not without flaw. The secret true final boss, THE END, is a very disappointing one, and throws the unique Titan bossfights out the window. the momentum in this game is also pretty wonky.

    If you are a Sonic fan who has been following the franchise up to this point, this game is a blessing, but if you don't know much about this universe, its characters or its gimmicks then you probably won't enjoy this game as much.

    The story isn't anything spectacular, but the Sonic cast are represented to be more serious and they feel more mature, which is appreciated by Sonic fans everywhere. The maps are really nice-looking, but the rendering could use some work. The combat is visually amazing, but very basic in terms of the button inputs (which isn't a factually bad thing). The enemies are a mixed bag, since some are pushovers and others are straight up annoying as heck to fend off. The side stories are nice but they don't contribute that much to the overall story or progression.

    The fishing minigame is broken; it basically gives you whatever you want for cheap prizes, if that's a agood or a bad thing depends on who you ask. The puzzles scattered through the islands are fun, but that's basically most of the gameplay, and eventually it will become repetitive.

    Overall the best things about this game are the soundtrack and the boss fights, and the worst thing about this game are the cyberspace levels, since your mobility and control over Sonic are amazing in the overworld but they feel off in 2D levels focused on speed.

    As I said before, if you've known Sonic and have been following his games for the past decade, this game is a gem; however, if you don't know as much about this universe then it will most likely leave you with mixed feelings. I have to give it an 8 purely because I'm a Sonic fan, but it's understandable if you disagree, I'm just giving my honest opinion.    … Expand

    Really aesthetically pleasing game. The islands all look really nice, the open zone gameplay can be quite long, but is relaxing. Sonic's updated/new moveset is real cool and gives him more variety in what he can do other than his homing attack and spin dash.

    People are rating the game as "10" and saying "It has its flaws" did Sega pay them or something?

    I'm going to start by saying I grew up with Sonic, I've seen the ups and downs, and I watched the Cartoon. I've enjoyed everything Sega has made to this point. I loved '06 as buggy and bad as it was and even Forces. I also love open-world games, Saints Row IV, Genshin Impact to a degree,    People are rating the game as "10" and saying "It has its flaws" did Sega pay them or something?

    I'm going to start by saying I grew up with Sonic, I've seen the ups and downs, and I watched the Cartoon. I've enjoyed everything Sega has made to this point. I loved '06 as buggy and bad as it was and even Forces. I also love open-world games, Saints Row IV, Genshin Impact to a degree, Spiderman Games, etc. This game itself is just terrible though. This feels like a step in the right direction alright... After walking a mile back.

    I can only think of Three things I actually liked about the game and that's:
    -Super Sonic for Bosses 1, 2, and 3. (Boss 4 was just bad.)
    -The Rail Bits actually felt nice to play.
    -And the Licensed Music.

    The cons:
    -Cyberspace levels were too short in the sense that some were only about 30 seconds long
    -The combat was extremely rough and didn't feel like Sonic, I would much rather have the homing attack with instant-pop enemies back than have this combat again. They either don't drop enough exp to be worth the time to fight them, or they take too long to even be fun so I just started skipping them all together and just spent time grinding exp on springs and when I did get in fights, I would just Spam Sonic Boom or the Multi-Homing Shot because the combat felt very clunky since you had to rely on dodging or parrying most of the time. Heck if it wasn't Boss/Guardian I would go in for a combo and straight see them pull out a barrier after two hits.
    -Sonic himself feels broken as his boost just feels like he's just picking up running speed from a brisk walk instead of running at the speed of sound, no one can push that hedgehog around, we got ourselves a situation, stuck in a new location, without any explanation. His homing attack just feels like a gap closer and not something you can chain together, His boost speed is tied to his ring count which is a bad thing because I would much rather not have to keep my HP LOW to easily achieve max boost speed.
    -When people talk about momentum being an issue it's with the fact that the combat isn't fluid and momentum stops dead in its tracks with almost everything because Guardians always cut away at them, sonic is always stopping dead in his tracks to making comments before you can resume running even with the option turned off, The combat is more stop and fight or run away instead of the instant pop enemies that would just keep the pace going. The amount of collectables needed to do anything is terrible since you need gears for Portals to give you keys to get you emeralds, but you can't do any of that without wandering around and either finding a gear randomly or through fighting a guardian which is very boring. The amount of memory tokens is also bad for the main story since at one point I had to collect 100+ to progress. I don't mind getting collectables but that's a bit much. Like Side stories? Sure! but I wanted to get through the story, once I hit that wall I had to be bored again.

    -I also hit several invisible walls because I wasn't at that point in the story yet, so instead of say a red glitchy forcefield or whatever, Sonic just flies away like he was coated in butter and dies.

    -This game feels like Breath of the Wild featuring Sonic because of the Kokos and overall gameplay and the narrative of "Something terrible is sleeping and you need to beat it because it will destroy everything and it's also the cause of the enemies." I hate the Kokos and wound up skipping EVERY cutscene that had them in them because of the terrible noise they make for even existing, I would much rather they be silent than sound like toddlers with rattles, I WOULD RATHER HEAR OMACHAO 24/7 AND Use the rings I collect for stat upgrades than to collect the stupid rock babies that belong in a dumpster, I probably missed half of the story but oh well. They're everywhere, the two old people (As well as a lot of this game) are unnecessary, and I went out of my way to avoid them as much as possible.

    This game should have been just another game like Unleashed, '06, Forces, or Colors. I am someone who prefers that Sonic stick to his actual gameplay of zipping around with simplicity for attacks and a boost that feels like I going to break the sound barrier while racing through a stage with objects flying forward with wind ripples that this. All you BotW fans can stay out of Sonic, this game was not the right one.    … Expand

A good story with a bit of substance to it, giving a a good bit of depth to Sonic and friends.

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).

    I played the game at a friend's house, It was great! With how much the Sonic franchise has been inconsistent over the years, this was a step in the right direction.

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. (I hated the ending we currently have btw)… Expand

    Overall I had a great time with Sonic Frontiers. While the story could have ended on a much stronger note it was the gameplay that really sold the experience. It really feels like Sonic the Hedgehog is finally having his true comeback moment.

From mostly great gameplay designs to pushing the boundaries of character expectations, and doing it all with an amazing soundtrack Sonic Frontiers is easily one of the best Sonic games in a long time. We'll have to wait and see if Sonic Frontiers gets additional support and DLC content but either way I'll be looking forward to the blue blur's next adventure.… Expand

    Sonic frontiers isn't really good. there are other sonic games better then this one. The Sonic Team tried a "Open Zone" world but didn't do a very good job there just floating Platforms and makes they sky look awful. there are various Bounce springs and rails that make you go into places you did not want to go.

The Sonic Team tried a "Open Zone" world but didn't do a very good job there just floating Platforms and makes they sky look awful. there are various Bounce springs and rails that make you go into places you did not want to go. VERY repetitive each zone you have to get the chaos emerald and they do not make it different each zone is basically the same. 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

    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

    It's a step in the right direction. Sonic just controls so well in an open world environment.

    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

    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!
