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.

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.
