Sonic has had a bumpy ride on his way into the 3D world. You probably have heard this before. And yet, in 2022 SEGA seems to have finally learned from their mistakes and ignored the critics just to make a game that’s good. Who cares if the critics say they hate the large cast of characters, epic plots that take themselves super seriously, and constant gameplay style changes. People don’t really know what they want. None of those 3 things make a game bad, what made them bad were often problems with the things that had more to relate with sonic games being rushed products, and/or a mechanic just not being fleshed out enough by the devs. Take Big’s fishing for instance. It’s awful in SA1, and critics say they wish Big wasn’t in the game at all. I’ve never agreed with critics. I’ve always wished Big’s gameplay was improved and I’m glad sonic frontiers finally did that. I hope to see it done with the rest of the characters as well in a future sonic game. Sonic frontiers is a very good time, the boss battles are epic, the story and voice acting are the best I’ve ever seen in a sonic game, and the gameplay loop is both addictive and rewarding. 10/10 would recommend!

The score was amazing, felt fresh but fun! Don't set your expectations on an original plot line on though, doctor strange saves the day, and there's like not a single notable surprise as far as the basic plot movements go. The original score, and amazing cinematography both make up for this though!
