    Sonic Frontiers is a brave new direction for the series, but this first ‘open-zone’ entry misses the mark by quite a margin. Traversal and combat annoyances plague the experience from start to finish, while structurally the game offers up very little variety, instead leaning on repetitive fetch quests that get exasperating after the first island. As far as the Switch version goes, it’s quite comfortably the worst option available to fans, with graphical compromises that make it impossible to recommend if you're able to play it anywhere else at all. If you’re going to get this game, we implore you to try it out elsewhere.

The design of the five islands is very beautiful, the challenges and the platforming was beautiful in a world with Cyberspace stages, which gave a wonderful and enjoyable experience that did not reach the level of old games, but remains wonderful with music that stays in the head and digs in it, a very enjoyable combo system, excellent difficulty and a legendary story And the leaders of more than magnificence salute to this masterpiece… Full Review »

I haven't loved or even really LIKED a Sonic game since Sonic and the Black Knight on Wii, but this one? PHENOMENAL! SO damn good! Everything I love about Sonic gameplay with exploration, a really interesting story, awesome bosses, really cool combat, nice writing, beautiful music, collectibles, nice throwback sections (CyberSpace), and probs even more amazingness I'm forgetting! I LOVE it, can't stop thinking about it! Sega really outdid themselves this time! SUCH a comeback! WELL DONE! SO damn happy! IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BE A SONIC FAN (damn, it's been a while since I've been able to say that, FEELS SO GOOD)! >:'D… Full Review »

    Clearly the worst version of the game. Textures looks kinda bad and the framerate drop is bad.
    But overall the game is fun as f---.
