    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!

    Jogo muito bom, melhor Sonic em muito tempo. Não entendo as notas baixas que a Crítica dita "especializada" deu ao game.

    This sonic game is the most fun I have had with a sonic game since the adventure era. This game is technically boost formula but unlike prior games it does not make sonic feel like a race car on a track. That along with the different platforming sections really brings out the good I never saw in boost gameplay before.The story is also a very large improvement over the past few entriesThis sonic game is the most fun I have had with a sonic game since the adventure era.

Overall it's the best sonic game we have had in over a decade.… Expand

    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,

    Sonic's new world is incredibly spectacular, the art reminds me of Phantasy Star New Genesis 2, excellent gameplay, fluid and fun gameplay, another good work by Sega

    Simplemente fantastico, lo que la saga necesitaba para evolucionar, una grandisima historia (al fin dejan de bromear) un mapa mundo abierto (con popping pero eso es arreglable a futuro) y un soundtrack perfecto!

    Desideravo da quando ho 6 anni questo gioco, quando ero piccolo mi innamorai della saga grazie a Sonic Advance per Gameboy sp e Sonic Heroes per la prima Xbox, la critica non ci ha mai capito nulla, Sonic è il gioco più figo e più divertente al mondo

    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.

    Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in the entire franchise!

    This game in it of itself is a masterpiece regardless of Sonic games! The open world is so fun to explore and you can run freely and platform at full speed and fight enemies, bosses and Titans, it's so fun! You can also combat and fight a lot of unique enemies and bosses, and unlock a lot of new combat moves and    Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in the entire franchise!

    You can also combat and fight a lot of unique enemies and bosses, and unlock a lot of new combat moves and skills, at the skill tree!

    You can also upgrade Sonic, you can upgrade his strength, speed, ring capacity and defense!

    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 5 years wait was definitely worth it.
    Thank you SEGA and thank you Sonic Team!    … Expand

    An absolutely awesome game, by far surpassing anything that Sonic Team has created since Sonic Unleashed. The 60 score is blasphemy and hate bait by critics.

    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.

    Big,fun, impressive at times, a little rough around the edges maybe, but Sonic: Frontiers is a step in the right direction for Sega and the beloved blue blur.

    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.
