It's come to my attention that the free updates Frontiers is getting may make some of the points I made in this video obsolete. If that happens, please be mindful of when this video was made. I might also make a follow-up video at the end of the year when all the updates are out, if I think the additions are substantial enough to talk about.

What I love the most is the fact that you’re forced to fight Giganto like you would an old Sonic boss before he just tells Sonic to eat a dick. It’s like Sonic Team wanted us to know that the old ways were done.
Classic Super Sonic: Pretty cool
Early 3D Super Sonic (Sonic Adventure – Sonic '06): Badass
Modern Super Sonic (excluding Unleashed): Eh, he can do better
Frontiers Super Sonic: I DISARMED A GIANT ROBOT, GRABBED HIS SWORD THAT'S OVER 100 TIMES MY SIZE, AND CUT HIM CLEAN IN HALF!!
I would much rather a sonic frontiers 2 than sega trying to do something different
I just wished the parry wasnt as brain dead as it is…i feel like that is the reason why people rarely see the counter attacks against the titans, since its a counter so you would think you'd need to time it…….not hold it.
At his best, Sonic is, and has always been, about the over-the-top, the edgy and the attitude. For the longest time, it seemed they were more willing to try and reinvent the franchise, it's characters and it's world, and attempt to be something it's not for the sake of a more general audience, than embrace that which made Sonic great.
I'm elated to see they've finally begun to see the light. Despite it's flaws, Frontiers is fantastic, there's no other word for it; a game so unabashedly "Sonic" that it hurts.
The music really reflects how powerful Super Sonic is in this game, it really shows that even when we thought the franchise was at a point of no return, this game proved all of us wrong and shows Sonic Team is capable of making not only exciting boss fights, but making the games themselves be peak fun
Outride a crisis reference on the end of Knigth's fight song almost made me shiver
This guy gets it
IM HANGING ON TO THE OTHER SIDE
Wyvern doing gangsters paradise, and Giganto dancing had me dying.
I cannot explain the Childhood giddiness deep inside coming out during the first Titan boss fight genuinely one of the greatest boss fights I've ever played
Sonic is fucking back
That oooaaaaa got me
Adding the Sonic and the Black Knight clip during Knight finisher was just perfect.
We all knew that Super Sonic was powerful, but Super Sonic has never FELT as powerful as it did in Frontiers.
That "new challenges" update had BETTER include a Titan boss rush.
Also I hope we see Super Knuckles again soon, since they teased it in this game. If not in his DLC, then at least in the next game.
This game isn’t perfect but i had blast getting thought it if they keep going this way i can’t wait to see how it’s going!
The Boss Themes though… G O A T E D
Is it the best game I've ever played? No. But I've been a sonic fan since I was a kid and I'm so happy they actually tried this time.
IM HANGING ON TO THE OTHER SIDE
Wow nice video and editing, ultra good job
You sir, have sold me on the game.
and for some weird unknown reason , also on Bayonetta 3.
Bro really is trying to get away with making the most banging mini AMV in the middle of everything
Frontiers has gone beyond
To say that it saved the franchise is an understatement
Even more so than Unleashed
I cried through every moment of sonic frontiers. Now physically but emotionally. I felt so empty the past few years when sonic lost it's spark. And then the sonic frontiers released. It lived up to everything I wanted it to be. It was one thing. And that was to bring him back better than ever. I do think that the formula they are working with which they use in frontiers is a good thing to use in future sonic games. Also I'm so hyped for the updates! I want more STORY! Also super sonic has peaked higher than before. Aight goku try taking on super sonic now. He has just got so much more powerful. He has literally become what the chaos emeralds power should give.
"It's not a Sonic game without bangers" – me after sonic frontiers released
I'm not gonna lie, the gangster's paradise edit over the wyvern screech got a chuckle out of me. RIP Coolio.
The thing I love about Super Sonic is that it’s everything Sonic himself isn’t known for. He’s quiet, serious, lethal and unforgiving as he’s basically in a fight or die situation which Frontier had the nuts to acknowledge that Sonic could actually die if he fails.
I have been playing this game with my 3 and 5 year old sons and it's been BETTER than I expected. Beforehand we bonded over Forces even though I saw it as hot garbage. My 5 year old fell in love with the music and colors of Colors remastered and my 3 year old chuckles at everything in Mania so that's his favorite. But they both LOVE Frontiers and the best part is, SO DO I! I am SO HYPED and we have such a blast playing. Giganto took me COMPLETELY by surprise! Not for being a tough fight (because he really wasn't, the game mechanics certainly allow you to have fun but not out of necessity since you could practically button mash your way through most of it) but because the cinamatics and music tied together so well with that gameplay that it honestly just blew my mind. That kill shot through the body was BRUTAL!!
I also thank you for talking enough about it without spoiling anything. I am currently on the second island and about to fight my second Titan and you made it very clear when you would discuss each one so I am going to pause here at 9:50 and come back when I have beaten the game. I am so happy to see us Sonic fans actually legitimately enjoying a game. WE ARE EATING GOOD TONIGHT!
Remember when everybody was worried about this game?
Your edits are amazing, great job. Good review too
This is the first sonic game in a long time where I just couldn't get enough and it made me fee like I was 6 years old agian playing Sonic adventures and I was having an aboslute blast I cannot wait to see the future of sonic!
this is the game that sonic o6, boom, and forces whishes it could be
I personally believe that supreme could’ve been so much better. I love it’s design but it’s combat just feels like giganto but with a few more attacks. He barely even uses his gun which looks so sick. Not a bad boss but it could’ve been way better
High-key I be quoting that line from Forces to myself everyday.
How did I not realize that you could cheese the fuck out of the jumping challenges by just holding down the parry buttons?
Bruh imagine the old Sonic Adventure Super Sonic fights with this new style… though if you think about it, Metal Overlord for Sonic Heroes is like a precursor to these.
They both use the move sets you have been using up to that point, but now they are jacked up to 11.
Holy shit, YOU'RE the guy who made the very cool Nirvana Initiative videos. Well-deserved views!
After playing this I’m still surprised it got a 7/10. This game is what Unleashed wanted to be; heck even SA-1. In my eyes as the first open zone Sonic game it’s at least a 9/10 at most 10/10. It’s just my opinion
3:31 had me laughing so hard lmao
SCREW YOU I ALMOST CHOKED- 3:17
while this wont COMPLETELY fix it,
if you were to make the music outro start a little later (like removing the AY at the end of undefeatable) it could sound better
You know I'm glad that we not only get a more advanced and enhanced super sonic but we also get some lore about the Chaos emeralds after so many years
The thing I loved about frontiers is that unlike forces, I didn’t complete the game in a literal hour. Having an open world is an excellent way to “slow” the game without making it a slow game.
Super Shadow would be perfect for this gameplay. He was an upclose and personal type of fighter in his own game, so making a super version of that would be possible.
During each fight, especially after beating the true ending, and you get more context, it feels less like destroying giants and more like finally putting ancient warriors, each beloved to one another to rest.
I actually didn't know you could have more than 100 rings in all of the titan fights…I did the first 3 with just 100 because I lost rings before the fight oopsies
I agree that I feel like the last island along with the 4th titan and final boss all felt rushed. But man was it a heck of a ride getting there, if only we could stay as Super to explore the islands at the end of the game.
Not only did Super sonic finally return, THEY MADE SUPER SONIC EXTREMELY BADASS. There’s no joking sonic from forces, this is a sonic who doesn’t fuck around or toy with his enemies. And man oh man…are these fights AWESOME. There’s actual strategy for people going into these fights, such as the rings you had before getting the final emerald are what you’d have going into the fight (unless you had 0 rings, in which case the game gives you 100, but that’s not enough to win half the time) you have to time attacks and counters, and spamming moves doesn’t seem forced, it fits the Ultra fast attack speeds that sonic will attack at. And the endings..OH GOD the endings. Seeing not only a callback to sonic 3s final boss fight with Wyvern, BUT A FUCKING SWORD ENDING WITH THE KNIGHT. Man…I loved it. This is peak sonic right here, and I’m so glad Sonic Team stuck the course as much as they could before the Parasite known as Sega basically said “lul no time for y’all, release date is now”
"OH MY GOD SONIC PICKED UP THE SWORD 😱😱😱"
And thats how Frontiers rebuilt Super Sonic
