    Sonic Frontiers is an action-packed, high-octane action-adventure game with open-world exploration and puzzle-solving elements. Adding in plenty of combat and more traditional Sonic-style platforming, you get a unique-feeling game that offers a lot more than Sonic typically does.

    Sonic Frontiers is a game with a lot going for it, but is somewhat held back by the technical issues of a character as fast as Sonic. It does provide a path forward into a new era of Sonic games that could revive the series and unite the fans behind it. Exploring the Starfall Islands can be as relaxing or as hectic as the player desires, and there is plenty of room for more games like this in the future of the franchise. The added mechanics of an open world and a skill tree allow for players to really feel the growth in Sonic's speed and strength as the game progresses, and the customization in the options allow for a grasp on Sonic's speed and manoeuvrability that no other Sonic game has yet attempted. This reviewer feels optimistic about the Sonic franchise to come now that it has taken some steps into a new frontier.

    Sonic's entry into new, for him, gaming paths is overall successful, despite any problems. With a little polish and attention to detail, the next game in the series has the foundations in place to finally look eternal rival Mario in his three-dimensional, bubbly eyes.

    An animated film-like video game for fans of the series. The newly added 'open zone' system turned out to reveal more flaws than advantages, but the franchise's unique, high-speed action is well expressed. While the solid character settings and story for fans stand out, graphics quality that are hard to believe it's out in 2022 need to be improved.

    Sonic Frontiers is a unique addition to the franchise that is really different compared to any of the Sonic titles before it. The game looks and sounds great, but has a couple areas that felt a little rough like the combat and controls in the Cyber Space challenges.

    Sonic Frontiers succeeds in finally making Sonic truly work in 3D without many of the problems that plagued past titles. While it's far from perfect and could have used more polish, it's a fairly impressive game that offers up most everything fans could want.

    As a 3D Sonic a step in the right direction. The open world has a lot to offer but gets lost in redundancy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Going into Frontiers as a long time sonic fan i was worried that we'd be in for another stinker. But it's precisely BECAUSE I've been with the franchise for so long that i loved this game to bits. It felt like it was made for me. The over the top anime boss fights, the more serious tone, the dialogue all contributed to a fantastic experience. It wasn't perfect though. There was some really bad pop in and Sonic's ground momentum felt weird which is a shame because otherwise he controls perfectly. The ending also felt rushed. As if they were like "oh **** We need something BIGGER to fight than the titans! **** it, throw the moon at them lmao." In that sense Frontiers could be a studio Trigger anime. Either way it was a great time and i cant wait for the next one. Sonic is back.… Expand
