However, there are what I call “flashbacks” to classic Sonic worlds. This, of course, is in addition to crates, springs, boost bads, and rails that you’d typically find in any other Sonic game. There’s rocky mountains, green grass, NPCs that you’d never find in any other Sonic game, and enemies that are futuristic-looking. I’ve heard some people compare the level design to ripped assets from the Unreal Engine store, and honestly, it does feel like that in some ways. Instead of having the typical, colorful world like Green Hill Zone, there’s now this open-world map. It’s a little bit of a more mature take on the series something I’ve wanted for quite some time.
Sonic Frontiers is certainly an unusual take on the Sonic series.
When I do finish the game I may come back to this and update the review if I come across anything significant.
And now that I’ve sunk about five hours into it so far, I think I can say yes, this game finally got some things right.īut note that this review isn’t necessarily a full review, since I haven’t finished the game it’s more so just some thoughts that I have on it so far. So now we’re left with the question, “Now that we’ve finally got another 3D Sonic game, will this undo some of the damage that Sonic has had over the years?” I’ll have to admit, ever since I saw the first trailer for Sonic Frontiers, I’ve been looking forward to playing it ever since. Though people have varying degrees of opinion on this, I think it’s safe to say that, ever since Yuji Naka – the creator of Sonic – left the company in 2006, the games in the Sonic franchise just don’t have that same level of quality as they did before (at least in the 3D aspect). I think Sega tried a little too hard to cater to fan service – that or they just shipped their products to the shelves way too quickly – and for the most part, they failed hard. And don’t even get me started with Sonic ‘06.
His modern self has met his 90s counterpart. Sonic’s reputation in the 3D realm has been scarred. The last one we had was Sonic Forces back in 2017, which had been met with lukewarm reception. It’s been a while since we had a 3D Sonic game.
