Sonic Frontiers PS4

-Spoiler Free Review-It was such a breath of fresh air after a whole decade of not particularly enjoying any of the games and as a lore advocate I very much enjoy how well written and how impactful the story actually is. The way I felt when I heard characters that I've known for so long and have disliked their representations recently finally be who I fell in love with made me feel like a kid again.Gameplay wise the open zone is the best part of the game and I'm glad it is 'cause it's the biggest chunk of your playtime and the boss battles are impeccable, truly the best. Now for the cyberspace levels that had been teased as special stages, I don't particularly like them but I don't dislike them? Maybe it's just because it's reused level design and aesthetics even though it's explained by the story. Good thing those levels are mostly optional so by the end of the game I ended up ignoring them even though their music slapped, which brings me to my next point.THE OST IS SO GOOD, though not as good as my favourites (Unleashed/SA2) it's still definitely up there, then again Sonic music has always been great.Overall I'd give it a 8 out of 10, it's a great step forward and I hope they keep this formula while also polishing it. Sonic does feel better to control compared to past titles but it's still not perfect.During the cyberspace levels which are technically Forces style boost levels (though improved) he still feels weird to control and not as flowy as Unleashed or Generations, Colours even. In the open zone though? No problems, he controls just fine plus the combat.Bonus point - I think the enjoyment of this game scales higher if you know the whole lore of the series, when you play the game you'll know why I'm saying this.

If you like sonic, get this game. The characters and story are so good. While everyone is going to mention the gameplay, know that after this game had its big free updates, it is an 8/10. The game is pretty much over 40 hours long and there is a lot to do post game. Go in blind if you can, it's worth it!

I bought this for my (admittedly Sonic mad) 10 year old son for Christmas. He wasn't expecting it. When he opened it, well... I will be repairing the ceiling now.The game itself is MASSIVE. He's been playing it for hours and simply loves it. The environment is so deep and distant, and the graphics are so smooth. Audio is immersive too, with some tremendous weather foley.I've not played it, probably won't get the chance - unless I prise the controller from his hands. If I did I'm sure I'd enjoy it as much.Definitely a winner in my book.

I'm not gonna go in depth into the game itself, more just the product I received. This isn't a game review website, after all. I will say this: Sonic fans, this is an absolute must. For the general public, its a bit harder to sell as it heavily relies on past lore from games upwards of 30 years old now, but its a fun romp that'll give you or your family or your friends something to entertain yourselves with.As for what I received. The package was generally speedy, being delivered 2 days after purchace. However, after opening, I noticed the case itself had a slash on the back that went through the plastic, but not the cover itself. I have to wonder if this is an issue with the retailer it came from or during the shipping process, but either way I'm a bit dissapointed this was allowed to slide from either party. Every other part of the package was undamaged and perfectly fine. I guess I'll either swap the case out for a new one or live with this permament scar on the case.

Got it when it went down to £29, and for that price it was definitely worth it, game takes maybe an hour or two to get to grips with but after that it is brilliant funA game that adults and kids will love, running around as Sonic is so much fun, definitely worth the buy!

Great game hours of fun for a great price

Fun game but the open world can be boring after a while, much prefer the traditional levels they added in. Still worth a try if you love sonic though

Super fast delivery arrived whitin 2 days, well packaged. Very happy
