After playing through Sonic Frontiers, I came away with a generally positive impression. After finishing the DLC, that impression has been soured.
The janky platforming is way worse than it was in the base game and the additional characters are no fun to play. The tower challenges and the boss rush are more frustrating than they are worth, and more often than not failures come from camera and momentum glitching rather than your own mistakes. There's just no reason to play it.

Sonic Frontiers: The Final Horizon is an ambitious effort to actually make good on the promises of the original game. Do not be fooled; this is not new content. This is recycled content attached to ideas that were clearly cut out of the final game because they couldn't be crammed into Sega's rushed release schedule.
The result is a mess. Sonic Frontiers was already broken on every front, and The Final Horizon is truly the nail in the coffin. Every minute of joy attained from breaking the game with its new and completely busted mechanics is equivalent to an hour of the game breaking itself in new and unexpected ways, resulting in what can only be described as the least consistent mainline Sonic campaign to date.
Avoid at all costs. It isn't worth your time.

I'm so conflicted about this update. On one hand, the final boss truly is one of the most hype things I've experienced in a Sonic game in a long time. On the other, everything before it is either a total slog or way too hard to be enjoyable. The base game was easy, but this overcorrects too much.
The updates they put out later certainly helped, but I can't see myself going back to Final Horizon. I am still very much looking forward to how they can improve the Frontiers style in the future, though.

Didn't care all that much ngl
Now in context to the original game, this DLC is fantastic. It adds more speed stages, playable characters, a new world to explore and a new alternate ending to the original title which definitely helped my favorability of the title overall. This DLC truly feels like SEGA listened to the fans and improved in every way.
