The gameplay of this game is both unlike and very much like previous Sonic titles. This is my full review after playing the game and completing it on Hard Mode/27 Hour Playthrough So did the game live up to my expectations? Well… For the first time in over a decade, I let myself become genuinely excited for a new Sonic the Hedgehog game. I was intrigued and invested by the things I saw. I think the turning point for me was just a little after EGX/TGS and more people were posting to twitter about their experiences with the demos. Hopes that I didn’t want to regret on release, but as they showed more and more, that skepticism I had turned into blatant enthusiasm. My doubts were beginning to be replaced with hopes. In which the more gameplay came out, the better it started to look. However things took a strange turn for this game. I didn’t have much faith in Sonic Team given their track record. It looked incredibly rough and while that’s normal for a lot of games in development, as someone who’s been through the same song and dance with the Sonic franchise time and time again (especially the last ten years), usually gameplay by that time of the year is pretty reflective of the final product. I’ll be completely honest, because of the first gameplay preview I was definitely one of the more pessimistic people regarding the state of the game and the future of the franchise as far as it’s games go. June 2022 was when everything truly began. The news cycle was very slow and there wasn’t any real news again until The Game Awards of that year where they finally showcased in-game footage and gave us the title after months of many referring to it as “Sonic Rangers” due to an incredible amount of leaks. A game that sent me on an emotional roller-coaster since it’s first initial CGI preview in May 2021. Finally out of the honeymoon phase, I can look at the game both for what it is and what it isn’t.Īnd it is certainly…a game. Released almost two months ago, I’ve been taking a lot of time to digest the ins and outs of the game and constantly updating this article as my opinion expanded. This is our long awaited review of Sonic Frontiers.
