    A great new mix for Sonic! I loved the open zone setting, the zooming around and combat was a blast. Cyberspace levels were dope, rather addicting actually. I was pleasantly surprised. If you're on the fence, you won't be disappointed.

    Un nuevo aire para Sonic, una historia bastante buena que te deja pegado al juego, sountrack hermoso, los personajes bien relacionados con Sonic y peleas frenéticas, sin duda de los mejores Sonic que existen

    Honestly probably my favorite overall sonic game, it's just such a complete package and so much more then I expected. My GOTY in a year with Elden Ring.

    Edit: Honestly forgot the combat, a historical sore point for the series which is actually extremely good this time around with a fun varied moveset and a skill tree that keeps things fresh. It's been so terrible so long and it's suddenly something I look forward to! Crazy! Just a little bonus point.    … Expand

    Sonic Frontiers is not a game I had very high expectations for. The game did surpass those expectations but not by much. The open zone feels incredibly lifeless.

It's not entirely unfun though, it can be a little fun sometimes. What isn't fun at all are the cyberspace levels. A complete downgrade from the boost levels we saw in Unleashed, Colors, Generations, and somehow even Forces. While the levels can have decent design sometimes (mostly because they take them from better games) Sonic does not control well in the slightest. Everytime I jump I feel like I'm fighting with the game, and Sonic is not fast at all in these levels. These are easily the worst parts of the game, and in my opinion, some of the worst Sonic gameplay we have ever gotten in the history of this franchise. There are some things I do love about this game though. The boss fights at the end of each island are AMAZING and are just super hype, especially with the music they used. The fishing minigame with Big the Cat is also very nice and relaxing, and I enjoyed doing it a lot. Overall, Sonic Frontiers is a game with some highs, but insanely low lows. I do think a casual fan would enjoy this a lot, but if you're a hardcore fan, it's a 50/50 chance you may love or hate this game.… Expand

    This game is a winning formula, but poorly executed. I genuinely enjoyed running around the open-zones, and the shorter format boost levels are actually fun, but this feels like a game in early development, with too many resources poured into things that don't matter. I won't rehash what everyone else is saying, but here are some of the things that don't make sense:

I won't rehash what everyone else is saying, but here are some of the things that don't make sense:

    -Some cutscenes (ie story) are skippable while some aren't (ie animation for bridge being constructed)
    -Floating propeller boxes for items can be broken from all sides except for the bottom
    -Your attack and defense stats automatically level to the max based on your inventory, but you have to sit through a cut scene for every level of your speed or ring level you increase
    -The fishing mini game is programmed to let you aim where you cast, but it doesn't affect the catch rate
    -Fish caught in the mini-pame cycle through in the same order, so there is no such thing as rare catches, or a reason behind why some fish award more/less tokens.
    -You have to cycle through map filters to fast travel, even though the icons stay the same.
    -Sonic gets stuck on most inclines in 2D areas
    -Camera doesn't know how to follow sonic in boss battles
    -You use the same tokens to talk to friends to talk with the main antagonist (who is an NPC sometimes??)
    -The game doesn't stop counting skill points even after you max out your skill tree
    -The map will still alert you that you can level up when you are max level just because you have items in your inventory
    -Parrying in mid-air makes Sonic float. Parrying also doesn't require any timing
    -Most cutscenes are rehashes, and feel like they're added just to pad out game length.
    -Tone of the game is very serious, but when you beat a "challenge" stage, Sonic does a little jig to a midi song that doesn't match the rest of the soundtrack
    -The fourth island is clearly the top half of the first island that was repurposed (but it does have one of the best overworld themes)
    -Lastly, I don't mind any of the music in this game individually, but I wish it followed a consistent theme. Like stick to all emo, or stick to all EDM, or do jazzy little jingles. Nothing about this game feels consistent, just a bunch of ideas that the team floated and then realized they didn't have time to edit.    … Expand

It should be a hot news item, how much of an achievement it is, and how Sonic Team has finally cracked the code to an incredible Sonic game.

It’s like Sonic, Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey mixed together. Even Shadow of the Colossus is in here.

    The Sonic stuff is the best I’ve played; the controls are tight, the speed is fast and fun, the open world and the cyberspace levels are excellent. It’s “Breath of the Wild” because the open world is fun to explore, and you’re always running into new puzzles and collecting things that make you stronger by increasing your power and speed.

    It’s “Super Mario Odyssey” because you’re always solving little overworld puzzles to get some reward, very similar to the Moons in that game. It’s very rewarding and motivating.

    Critics have criticised the visuals. Again, I don’t know what they’re smoking. Maybe their standards are too high? Not every game has to look like God of War. I think it looks really beautiful and impressive. It’s true that there is pop-in on the overworld rail puzzles, but even this is not nearly as bad as some critics have said. Did they play a pre-patch version that had worse pop-in than the release date version? Because what I played is really not that bad, you can see many rails and platforms far into the distance.

    Some critics have criticised the combat. Again, what on Earth are they smoking? The major bosses, like those in Shadow of the Colossus, are equal parts puzzle and awesome spectacle. They’re freakin’ rad. And the general combat with smaller enemies is so much fun - it’s so deep now, it’s crazy. Sonic has so many cool combat moves (that you unlock through rpg-style progression), and it’s just fun to earn them and toy around with them. The only games with deeper combat are those that are dedicated fighting games, like Devil May Cry - is that what the critics were expecting? And it’s honestly surprisingly not that far off. Yes, I agree that some enemy designs could be more interesting, but there actually are some really cool enemy designs in here already. Anyway, the critics have lost the plot. The game is bloody good. I’d recommend it to anyone for the full asking price.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’d give it a 7.5 if I could, fyi. My favorite part about this game was the use of past lore and building upon it, as well as the more serious take on Sonic in general and its characterizations again. I’ve been an avid Sonic fan ever since I was a kid, and I won’t lie, the Adventure era more or less is the only style of the games I genuinely love. Another thing I enjoyed about the Adventure era was the generally more serious tone they had alongside well-written dialogue. So as you can imagine, I haven’t really enjoyed the games much since Sonic Colors came out. I cannot stand the use of 2D platforming, and I cannot stand the unfunny, childish dialogue and stories. After so many years, at least the childish writing finally stopped. I truly appreciate that.

    The combat: An interesting type of gameplay for Sonic, I thought it was really fun and cool to see Sonic do all the different types of attacks. Unfortunately I had many issues with the combos not triggering. But going forward I don’t think I’d mind this type of combat system being used for boss fights.

    The open world: I’ve never been a fan of open world games but this one isn’t so bad. The objectives are clear and I typically know exactly where I need to go. One thing I’ve truly missed in recent Sonic games is the hub worlds, this is kinda like that, not quite, but it made me happy to be able to just run around as Sonic again and go from objective to objective. Although, I had many issues with Sonic launching off of bumps wanting to do flips in the air when I’m just trying to get from point A to point B. The worst offender in the open world though is when it locks you to 2D platforming. Especially when you’re casually running around and just happen to come in contact with a 2D section. This is the most frustrating and annoying thing in the game to me. Anyway screw Chaos Island, all my homies hate Chaos Island.

    Boss fights: Easily the best part of the whole game. This made every Sonic fan’s dreams come true. This showed everyone just how badass Sonic can be. The animations paired with the metal music was absolutely stellar. I definitely want the boss fights in future Sonic games to be as cool as these were.

    Bullet hells: I do not care for these. This isn’t even close to what I think of when I think of Sonic. Please do not put these in the next Sonic game unless they’re side minigames. I wasn’t too upset with it until I got to the final boss of the game. Seriously why in the hell would you make the final boss of a Sonic game a bullet hell. Especially when the previous boss fights were so kick ass.

    Pinball: As a Sonic fan, I’m used to pinball in Sonic games. However, the requirement of 5 million points was overkill. Also how could you not make Sonic the pinball?

    Story: I adored how much talking I got to do with all the other characters in this game. I loved getting some real insight on the inner workings of these guys. A lot of the cutscenes in this game made me very emotional. I loved seeing some real development in these characters after so many stagnant years. And all the extra pieces of lore we got were really awesome. Especially when they haven’t built on this specific part of the lore since Sonic Adventure 1. However I do wish there was more of a backstory to “The End.”

    Music: The music in Sonic games is always killer. Of course I loved the music in this game. But I’ve seen some people try to say it’s the best yet or that the new guest singers are better than Crush 40 and I have to stop you there. Absolutely not; Crush 40 will always be number one for me and I truly missed them in this game. I need Jun’s guitar’s specific sound and Johnny’s rough and deep voice back. Would’ve pushed my rating to an 8.5 because I personally put a lot of stock in the soundtrack of games. I hope they cover one or more of the songs at least. But hey, I’ll always love Ohtani. Fantastic job as usual, king!

    Cyberspace stages: For this specific game, the shortness of these levels work. In Forces it didn’t work at all because that was the whole game. In the future though I would prefer longer levels, only 3D platforming, and mini puzzles to all be included in each level. Basically, I’d prefer the Adventure era gameplay, surprising. BUT, for this game, since there is so much else to do, the cyberspace levels work as they are imo.

    Fishing: I love a fishing minigame as much as the next person, and I definitely enjoyed fishing in this game. But it is weird how you can essentially speedrun the game by choosing to just fish instead of doing anything in the overworld. Freaking adored the Egg Memos though, that is a genius reward for fishing.

    The #1 thing I hope for the next game: We need multiple playable characters back. Each with their own style of gameplay. Sonic is great but he’s never been my fave. Not when we have Rouge and Shadow and Silver and all these other fantastic characters I love.    … Expand

    and turned out to be REALLY interesting and brought me and other people back to the same passion for Sonic that disappeared in the last decade.
    Probably the most addictive, sometimes satisfying, well-balanced gameplay between a dynamic and meditative sequence. The combat is alright, cyberspaces sometimes get boring, the music is one of the most powerful in Sonic franchise, also the same words goes to the bosses, they are so lit and brutal, never have been expected to play THIS kind of Sonic game. Probably didn’t like the sometimes abrupt change of camera to 2D in open zones, boring platforming sections, the feeling of common emptiness, sudden FPS drops and the retail price. Also did not expected the insert of comics characters in the mainline story and the final boss gameplay, it's just awkward. The story narration is finally turned out to be interesting, the characters seems to be more mature and finally started to being like old themselves with the really interesting interactions with each other, but sometimes the main storyline and lore can get very very WTF not in the good way. Well, in general, I can say that the game left an incredibly positive impression about a Sonic game and i really hope that the series will go on in the same direction but with some major improvings on the way. I really hope that Sonic will stay enough long to end not in a rough, sad way.    … Expand

    Without a doubt, one of the best Sonic experiences I've played so far, a little janky at times, but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment traversing through the islands. And the combat truly sets a new standard for Sonic from now on.

    An amazing start to a new direction for the series. Fun gameplay with amazing bosses. The characters are finally written well and the story is taking a serious but still fun in some places gone the series should be. I hope they continue to make this direction and improve on its style going forward.

    Pros:
    Customizable physics, which helps give more people a preferred play style.
    The trick system while airborne is satisfying
    The combat, while simple, is fast paced and feels good.
    The story respects older fans of the Adventure games with many references as well as characterization similar to Adventure 1 and 2.
    More varied routes in the cyberspace levels which reminded me of the Sonic stages in Adventure 2.
    The soundtrack is excellent, as usual.

    Cons:
    Some of the puzzles exist just to fill the world with something to do, which would sound like a good thing but these puzzles (just a couple of them) feel like they weren’t thought out very much.
    Some of the animation is slightly janky, with the worst probably being the opening cutscene almost looking like a fan-made animation.
    The advertisements for the game were filled with outstanding looking CGI cutscenes, but those same moments were replaced with in-game cutscenes that were nowhere as good looking. Many Sonic games have CGI cutscenes sprinkled in which led me to believe that would happen again.

    My criticisms are for the most part just nitpicks, and the good heavily outweighs the bad. I appreciate Sonic Team for thoughtfully making a game that took the older fans into mind, and I love it. 9/10    … Expand

The boss fight music rocks and there's some great set pieces.I'm not generally a Sonic player, but I figured i'd give this one a shot and i've been loving it.

    An unreal experience, you have to turn speed and all other options up to 100 and play on hard mode. Only bad things are render distance, cyberspace controls are a bit wonky, and giving just a little more life to the world. Otherwise 10/10

    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!
