Sonic Frontiers

A grind that goes off the rails, literally while you are grinding on the rails.

You have to unlock towers to play the original game style by collecting things in a desolate rainy open world.

Infuriating camera angles, horribly impossible first enemy giganto & unrewarding efforts after winning. The game doesnt even acknowledge your victory after you win the game, & rolls back to before the final boss.

For some reason, the best graphics are when you go fishing, which is the only way to speed up the progress quickly.

If you do play, just go fishing to level up quickly & use rewards to collect keys in order to skip to the end.

The good parts include moving quickly across the map & the original gameplay levels were decent.

I was sure about that because the plot of this game is so nice, sonic now he is being more mature in himself (and i like this) the musics of this game is exellent (like sonic colors musics), now this game in (i think is the first game i don´t know) that show us the open world (and i like this thing), okay and the challenges of this game are a little bit difficult (from the final horizon is so difficult but...), the cyberspaces levels are kinda of nice, the bosses of this game is so great and from the dlc of sonic frontiers is good but there are some kinda of difficultes of this game like going up onthe towers from sonic and the final boss of the dlc is so great.

And the overall of this is 8.7 outstanding SEGA thank you very mutch.

Sonic Frontiers is Sonic's first open-world video game and it's not a bad foray by any means; but the grinding rails when you complete certain tasks can sometimes clash with the seamless open-world design and make things feel oddly rigid. Does this make the game bad? No. What about the story? Sure it's copying and pasting Zelda Breath of the Wild's homework in ancient technology (as well as Halo) and Evangelion's Herculean-scaled monsters, but it's still fitting the further you absorb the story and look over some of the obvious influences.

Basically, for a character as established as Sonic, Frontiers represents an interesting experimental phase for the character where SEGA's trying to see what sticks for The Blue Blur in the long run; and something tells me they're gonna keep trying new gaming twists (like JRPG stuff perhaps) alongside the more traditional platforming stuff the series has become known for providing; and it's nice to see open-world design finally in The Hedgehog's varied repertoire.

Sonic Frontiers is like a meal that tries having so many things all at once: some stuff works naturally, but the more 'far fetched' aspects give some nice flavour even if it's out of place for that part of the dish.

Sonic Frontiers is a good time with some flaws that are mostly forgiven here, and it's a bold playbook for franchise-'tweaking' in the 'Open-World Era' of gaming. 3.5/5 stars.

I played many Sonic games and I think this is the only one have Open World. When I heard this announced I was like ''Open World Sonic game? I mean well hope they will do it right'' later heard camera will be like Sonic 06 and scared so much. Because I didn't want another 06 fiasco. BUT! Team Sonic promised they will handle this game and they kept their promise. Best 3D sonic game in recent years. Enjoyed every seconds. Very good camera,upgrade system,good voice acting and okay story. Turning into Super Sonic is the most satisfying thing ever. Tbh after played this game just remake Sonic 06....

My first Sonic games were Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog on PS2. I had a blast with both. A kid's fun isn't something you can measure.

I didn't get an X360 until years later, and I had largely forgotten about the Sonic franchise.

Fast forward to 2020: Saw the Sonic movie in theaters & thought it was entertaining. Nothing more.

2022: Saw Sonic 1 again and then went to see Sonic 2 in theaters. Both were absolutely awesome. I started getting my hands on every Sonic game that I could and cemented myself as a worthy fan.

Let me begin by stating that I haven't yet left Kronos Island. But I am having an absolute blast since dropping into this new adventure.

It is a high claim I am making, but how does this game surpass the likes of Sonic Adventure 2 and Generations? Here are some reasons:

-Sonic's friends are fleshed-out characters

-Completely interactive overworld

-Deeply tantalizing OST

-Outrageous & cinematic story beats

-High-speed gameplay is at the forefront of everything.
