Sonic Frontiers is Pretty Good

  • Sega finally released Sonic Frontiers a little while ago and it's been sitting pretty well with critics for the most part. A Netflix show in the form of Sonic Prime, the second Sonic movie, Origins, and now Frontiers, Sonic fans have had plenty to sink their teeth into over the past year or so.
    Lots of people have already had their fun with this game, claiming it to be Sonic's grand return after some middling titles like Sonic Forces and Lost World; others don't buy into the hype and think it's basically just an inferior Breath of the Wild.
    But what about Blockyboxguy's take? After all, I do make videos on the internet (occasionally), so my opinion HAS to be important, right?
    Well, no. But that won't stop me from shouting at you about it anyway.

    This game feels like a SA 2.5 cause the floating structures can be argued to be hollowed out city building which will be used for the next Adventure and with the gang leaving it would open the door for Sticks and everyone else to become available for an adventure. Though I hope they decide to remove the miniboss fights that take you off the ground, sumo being the funniest though cause the bouncing is just fun. Squid could be a test on them loading in a map while at high speeds. Also my favorite attack in the game is spin dash into jump after passing through them a little cause they fly back and then you bounce on them as they fly into your hit box.

    Sonic Frontiers is overall Awesome! It’s not best Sonic Game; Adventure 2, Colors, Generations, 2, 3&K, and Mania are definitely better. 10/10 Soundtrack, Good Controls, Great Presentation, References, I like Sage, New Moves for Sonic, and more! Even the Switch version (my version) is great even though it runs slower. Though Dumb Sonic Level Story, Weak Final Boss, the Pop ins, and Occasional Bugs won’t give it a 10/10 but a 9/10.

It could use more landmarks, but I quite like the idea of sonic going through just an average forest and plains

    Solid game 7/10. Worth trying, but so much holds it back from being truly great. Everything is good, with a “but”
    -Story is cool, but feels rushed by the end and has a lot of holes
    -Combat is flashy, but not really engaging
    -open zone is fun to run around in, but nothing to do or find aside from the boring music
    -music is great a majority of the time, as to be expected from sonic
    -Cyberspace is a fine idea, but BY FAR the worst part of the game, like damn bro, we not just using level themes like Green Hill, but now taking full level design as well…i won’t say lazy cuz game devs aren’t lazy, but a poor POOR design choice
    For being sonic teams “best efforts” I think it should’ve been better. Luckily for ST the standards have dropped so low that anything decent would be praised. Hope they take more time to polish what ever is next, but ig I’ll take good for now… Sonic should strive for better…
