    Muito bom jogo, merece vender muito melhor. A vertente open world é a melhor vista num jogo da saga, o suporte que o jogo tem recebido é merecedor de mérito e a história é o melhor que a saga já viu.

    I love it! The world is sooooooo huge. There is a vast world to discover. A lot of things to do. A very intriguing story. The music in the background is awesome. I recommend it. I would put a 9.5, because of the pooping, but we don't have that option on metacritic, so I'll put a 10.

    Wow...
    So, uh... this game is Amazin'?

    I did not expect to love this as much as I did, and this is comin' from someone that Loved Sonic Forces!
    But this game is just on another level!
    Everythin', the Story, the OST, the Cutscenes, the Gameplay, The Bosses... there wasn't a single thing I disliked 'bout this one, and I'm still in awe on how much this made me feel good!

    This sonic game is the most fun I have had with a sonic game since the adventure era.

    I am blown away, I expected the open world parts and combat to be the most jank part of Sonic Frontiers but it controls remarkably well. This is gonna be a really fun era for the hedgehog if they fully utilize this control set in later games. The mood, writing, and soundtrack are phenomenal I have been smiling non stop since I started playing.

    An unexpected GOTY contender for me,

    A beautiful game that gives us Sonic as we’ve always wished him - super fast but in an open world adventure that’s akin to a charming Elden Ring on speed. Clearly made with love and with it’s rough edges being combined with an enthralling soundtrack, Sonic Frontiers is a modern day gaming masterpiece.

    The story is the best out of the whole franchise, and the voice acting is very good, Roger Craig Smith did an amazing job as the voice of Sonic!

    The music in this game is incredible and it's the best music in the entire franchise!

    The Super Sonic fights against the Titans were amazing and some of the best fights in a video game!

    Thank you Takashi Izuka and ESPECIALLY Morio Kishimoto who created this MASTERPEICE!

The combat is fun, the world is beautiful and the exploration never felt boring. The bosses are the best in the series. The music is top notch. The story reminds me of the 2000's a lot (in a good way) and the dialogue and characterization are perfect.This game is simply amazing.

    Sonic Frontiers is a really fun Game. It makes you feel like Sonic, IGN would say that. The Combat is fun, the Speed is very fast at the end of the game, Story is very good, and Open Zones are alright. The Pop In is a big problem, and some missions on the Open Zones are very borng. But Sonic Frontiers is a great step in the future of Sonics Gameplay!

    I really enjoyed this brand new adventure as Sonic. Almost everything in this game is amazing, from music to gameplay and plot. Cyberspace struggles with some controls problems, but it isn't a huge problem, as you don't even have to play through them to beat the game. Biggest problem is definitely 30fps on series S, but apparently Sega is working on fixing it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been a sonic fan for as long as I can remember and can proudly say that this game has brought sonic back into the mainstream.
    I haven’t completed the game as of now but have had over 10 hours on the game.
    This game has wonderful story on par with SA2 and SA1’s story in terms of seriousness and quality. This game is the 1st sonic game in a long time to make me feel a strong emotion with the death of the two kocos and strong excitement in tense moments like the 1st super sonic fight. As well as story the gameplay holds up as well; the cyberspace is a bit disappointing but still very enjoyable and they don’t take up a lot of your time - unless you’re trying to S rank them all. The combat is amazing and some of the best combat I’ve seen sonic preform from the sonic boom to the wild rush, it’s all wonderful! The only complaint I really have is the size of the skill tree, but that’s it. This game swiftly placed itself as my fifth favourite sonic game and in my top ten games of all time!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fans of the Adventure series, as well as Unleashed through Generations, look no further. A proper 3D Sonic game in the post-Generations era has arrived. Even with its glaring flaws (*cough* cyberspace physics *cough*), it is clear that Sonic Team wanted to make up for the mistakes of the past. For starters, Pontac and Graff were ditched in favor of Ian Flynn, known for his contributions to the comic series. For the first time since 06, the other characters have had meaningful stories. Amy searches for a way to help spread kindness throughout the world, Knuckles discovers a connection to his home on the islands, and Tails is inspired by Sonic to make his own way in the world (poor Tails went through WAY TOO MUCH TRAUMA FOR ONE GAME). Eggman, meanwhile, becomes the surrogate father of a sentient AI he designed, named Sage. The game also explores the origins of the Chaos Emeralds as alien artifacts transported to Earth by ancestors of Chaos. The open zone, while somewhat chaotic and full of gimmicks, is surprisingly fun to play and contains references to Sonic's history. The drop dash (and now the spindash apparently?!) make a glorious return as overpowered momentum mechanics. Sonic's new moves in combat, while appearing similar to each other at first, have individual abilities, such as having quicker cooldown than others, propelling Sonic into the air, or getting quick combos. The soundtrack is PHENOMENAL, and may actually be better than Adventure's in some aspects (but not all). But the game truly shines in its Titan boss battles. After transforming into Super Sonic, you use all of your upgraded powers to absolutely obliterate the Titans, sometimes even using their own weapons against them. And after all is said and done (and an admittedly lackluster final boss, which must be played in Hard mode to even experience in the first place), any remaining loose ends are either resolved or used as teasers for the final major update. I look forward to the future of the series, and realize that we are only at the beginning of Sonic Team's one way dream (this is in reference to the credits theme on Hard mode, sung by NateWantsToBattle himself). For a new player, this is a fun experience with a few issues in gameplay. For a Sonic fan however, this game is a return to form for Modern Sonic and a game absolutely worth your time.… Expand

The second Island is a nice change of pace with a fair rise in difficulty as you complete more of the same challenges to get enough of the MacGuffins needed to get to the end of the island.

    The reason why this is only a 9 is because of the third island which while fun, was extremely tedious but still worth every moment. The 4th and 5th island seems to show a bit of time constraint because they look amd feel very similar to the first. So around the end the looks were very repetitive.

    Sonic Frontiers arrives at the right formula for a Sonic game, no other game in the market offers the sheer speed and movement capabilities that Sonic Frontiers does. Collecting items and doing puzzles doesn't feel like a chore or a checklist, it serves instead as the perfect excuse to traverse the open zone world with Sonic. The combat also fits Sonic well and is integrated in a way that makes perfect sense for the play style of Sonic Frontiers. Sonic's new abilities are varied and fun, the downside is that combat is hardly a challenge, but it makes sense to not shift the main focus of a Sonic game to combat and combos.

    Sonic Frontiers deserves to be played without preconceived ideas. It can offer fun in ways that no other game other than a Sonic game is capable of. It offers tremendous replayability. The music alongside the open zone exploration can be as relaxing as a good jazz playlist and the highs of the game keep asking to be experienced again    … Expand

    I spent a lot of my time with Sonic Frontiers having a ton of fun, even if there were just as many moments where I was frustrated and ready to be done with it. This isn’t a great game, but it’s one that should satisfy Sonic fans desperate for an interesting game starring their favorite blue blur, and for the first time in a long time, it feels like the series may have a sense of direction. There’s still work to be done to make it more than that, but this is a big step in the right direction.

    Sonic Frontiers is a fascinating move into open world for the Sonic franchise. It's frequently flawed, and doesn't always match the heights of Sonic's best games. But the fact that it occasionally does reach those highs, while offering a totally new experience, is pretty impressive, and leaves Sonic Team with a strong foundation to improve upon.
