This game when it was revealed and all the promotional material for it genuinely made me worried. But after playing it - yeah no its real fun. Unpolished, janky but fun. Once you unlock the spindash, you basically get the best version of Sonic they've ever made. Which is weird cuz they then released characters that all play like ASS.
Was also nice to see the story be more akin to the Adventure days where it's a good mix of light-hearted and serious tones. I never liked when the Sonic games go to either extremes.

Tanto grind meu deus, mas é estranhamente satisfatório de se jogar enquanto ouve um podcast ou uma playlist personalizada, talvez um álbum novo. Repetitivo e sem cérebro, mas com bons visuais, perfeito para macacos como eu que querem passar o tempo (procastinar).

A bit of a mixed bag for me. Taking Sonic to an open-world format makes sense, but a lot of the tasks you're asked to do started to feel samey before long. Everything feels pretty nice control-wise, but the gameplay itself got a little stale the longer it went. Probably got halfway before I had my fill. It’s a decent game overall though; I probably just prefer linear Sonic. Shoutouts to the soundtrack by the way ---- some songs go way harder than most Sonic OSTs to date & really nail it.

Quite possibly the strangest, most experimental game I've ever played, Sonic Frontiers is for me the definitive example of a wholly unique platformer. Damn near everything in Frontiers is bodged together and noticeably flawed (at least everything that isn't utter rubbish), but the benefits of this wonderfully loose design are nigh-impossible to count.

Breaking this game over my knee is more pure joy than almost anything else in this franchise, and what genuinely does work helps all that partially-successful weirdness to amount to a great experience. I could (and would happily) point out countless glaring problems with this game, but when I actually sit down and play the damn thing I'm usually having a lovely time. Sonic Frontiers is about as far from as perfect as is generally possible, but it's a beautiful mess.

Sonic fans will eat up anything mediocre and will praise it as being the best in the series. This is far from a perfect game.
