Good For Being New

The games pretty good, and will get rid of your need to play a Sonic game that isn’t old or fan-made. This game has its ups and downs, but for being the latest installment of the mainline Sonic series, it does stand out in a few parts.
Cons:
Physics feels a bit wonky, especially when playing Cyber Space levels, as all your upgrades in free roam are absent.
The levels while they look unique, they are heavily based off of older levels, and while this may be a positive for some, others would rather have more original level designs.
Strong pop-in during the open world segment
The hedgehog has short quills again.
Pros:
It’s a new Sonic game
Visually, the game looks amazing.
The music is the best thing in the entire game.
Sonic has beautiful blue fur that looks like felt

I am very satisfied with this game so far. Not every 3D Sonic game is a winner but Sonic Frontiers certainly is. Managed to get it on sale so that was even better.

The game is fun to play. Using a jig-saw puzzle like map to navigate through new terrain for Sonic to explore, engagment in battle with nemesis. This game has 360 degree camera paning for a free play in 3D. Nice graphics, fast pace Sonic style!
I own several Sonic Hedgehog games and this one is a new addition to the set.

Excellent return to form and complete experience, recapturing the ambition Sonic games once had in the early 2000s. There is constantly things to do and look for in the open zones, the puzzles and minibosses within don't overstay their welcome. The combat, while simple is flashy and it's satisfying to string skills together after expanding the skill tree. Cyberspace levels are addictive and fun despite controls being a bit off-putting at first. The story told here, while a bit anticlimactic has amazing moments of growth that serve as reparations for past games.
The presence of pop-in for elements in the open zones and reuse of only 4 environmental themes in cyberspace were disappointing, but largely forgotten about while playing. Few games this year have captured the joy Sonic Frontiers has for me.

Sonic Frontiers is amazing. Little hiccups in the controls sometimes but not enough to ruin the gameplay overall. Big open worlds to explore

I haven't played video games in awhile and I noticed things have changed alot in the industry. Sonic Frontiers is unique because now Sonic the Hedgehog has fancy new attack moves. I have not completed the game yet but based on what I saw on YouTube reviews, the game has a great storyline. I highly recommend this game.

I was pleasantly surprised after playing this sonic game. Open world transition caught me off guard when it was first announced but I'm pleased to say it worked perfectly. The game plays great overall and is easily my second favorite sonic game behind SA2.

Honest Sonic Fan Review: This game is the best sonic game I have played since Sonic Mania (2D) and Sonic Generations (3D). The physics have improved drastically it feels like the sonic adventure days. The graphics are decent and looks good, there is pop in but I think they did it so the world didn't look super cluttered. Once you play it you will know what I mean, for some people it might be annoying but didn't bother me since its not pop in for all the platforms. The store is a bit stale but better than the previous games, its a step in the right direction. The gameplay is always wanted in a sonic game, I think this the future for the sonic era. overall I give this game a 85/100
Pros:
Great Physics
Graphics are decent ( Xbox Series X)
Gameplay is super fun
Cons:
Pop In
Story line is a bit stale
Best sonic game in a while, they are heading in the right direction
