Wait……wait… I never knew what that reason for her sacrifice was cause I didn’t complete it but 17:46 THIS IS PRETTY MUCH (literally) SONIC ADVENTURE 2 (20:30 even down to bringing her back??); SO WHY TF DIDNT HE JUST USE CHAOS CONTROL? Like if it’s a “he didn’t have enough power; he needed Shadow” yeah iight but this was extremely low effort. Kinda prefer the dlc ending much much more.
29:50 sry but that was a skill issue
Well I suppose TECHNICALLY you're right. If you list all the Sonic games ever made, Frontiers is definitely on the upper end of that list…….
Crazy how so many reviews are so polarising. U have people like j*s reviews saying its trash to people like prem saying its ok to othwrs saying its the best 3d sonic game
When coming back to this review in 2024, it made me realize that after playing more of the game, this review is how I too would describe the game. It's a fantastic game, but it doesn't hit the same as Generations. I would love to see how you think of the game after Update 3. Also, this is the second time I've tried to fix my original comment. The first time was with GameXplain, where I was way too harsh for no real reason.
19:40 they are canon though
If you boost and make a figure of a shape on the ground in sonic frontiers, then you’ll actually get infinite boost
good thing final horizon solves the final boss problem and goes some way to explaining how the hand holding worked and what really happened there
Happy 1st Anniversary, Sonic Frontiers.
you could add idw to sonic's canon and…. just make sonic frontiers take place after the post-forces idw issues
A excellent game. My favorite is Sonic Adventures 2 though. A true classic.
I love when people say “just delay the game a year” as an alternative for budget. Like, do you know how insanely expensive a year of development is?
That’s the reason for the updates over 10 months. They needed money on the sales for it to happen at all. This is the consequence for demanding size and innovation while rejecting episodic models developers tried to pivot to.
I'm going be honest, I think Sonic Frontiers is better than Super Mario Odyssey. I think I'm the online one who has this opinion.
When you implied you skip Sonic Adventures cutscenes, i decided to unsubscribe (not actually, great video)
If you searched this video as an on the fence buyer , take my advice. GET THIS GAME
why almost every GREAt games have to be rushed???, cant the company just delay it or something?. i mean they prob have seen MANY critics that says the game should've come later, but most of them NEVER LEARN that.
new coco update contradicts this.. kinda
Frontiers is really not one of the best games but OK! I personally like Team Sonic Racing better
cyberspace was built to store memories. that was what it was doing for the ancients. i do think they should have at least varied the level themes more than only four reused aesthetics
I like this game, it kicks in ol school sonic music from different games of old. 😊
I like how the updates are fixing many of the negatives of the game
I think the end credits with eggman recovering sage will be a big part of update 3,
Sonic Frontiers is garbage
Sonic, can you stop resurrecting characters after a sacrifice that is the climax of their character arc
FOR FIVE MINUTES
The best way to describe Sonic Frontiers, is that it is the best 7 out of 10 game I've ever played, it's at least a 7, only dragged down by the cyberspace levels, which aren't the worst, but could be better
Tbh the game was so good but The End was pretty disappointing like The End just being a purple moon and Getting one shotted was lame I was hoping for something a little more considering this was supposed to be The Ends true form
Matthasnocuts: DUH, Y SANIC FRONTDOORS ONE BEST GAME. DUH, SANIC FRONTDOORS IS BEST GAME ME EVER PLAY. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: Matthasnocuts, are you fucking high? Sonic Frontiers is fucking horrible and a waste of time, it's one of the worst Sonic games that nobody should play.
Basically every main boss feels like a final boss except for the final boss
okay now update 3 is out and its epic
Bro really turned into Nathaniel bandy when tail knuckles and Amy turned into nothing and sonic came back to life
55:50 the best things about the game
Bro fr said Sonic CD is better than Frontiers. I am calling the hardest cap on that.
Honestly. I watched another review lately about this game… well I have to say that was the most honest and fair review I've ever seen and I think it brought up points that didn't really come to attention in this review. Also negatives.
Sega needs to stop rushing Sonic Team and they need to stop experimenting the wrong way: experiment on fun like they did here but also keep the gameplay consistent. The reason why cyberspace controlled poorly is literally to do with the fact that the level design was derivative from past games so they thought to just port the old Unleashed controls in to fit with them. However when they decided to do the other games they couldn’t figure out how to actually make those controls work for all the level designs in cyberspace. Basically they did a half assed decision on that. The problem ended up being is that these new programmers in Sonic Team failed to realise you can’t just retrofit old physics with retro levels. You should actually work with the updated controls of the open zones to be accommodated. I swear it’s mind blowing this flaw they created! After all that’s what the heck they did with Generations for gods sake! They literally had it!
Sage…Sega….get it? GET IT? Sega just pulled an “Ages” again!
I’m not a big fan of collect-a-thon games myself, never been interested in them but I found myself really liking it in Frontiers. It’s a flawed but good game, and I love it.
I don’t think the True Final Boss is THAT bad. It definitely FEELS bad in comparison to the incredible fights we got in the main game, but relatively speaking, it’s far better than the HD Time Eater fight, and I’d argue it’s also better than the Lost World and Forces final bosses (more tentative on Forces)
Also, I’m hoping that whenever the sequel happens, we get some more organically integrated “mini challenges”. Like, wall jumping up an alleyway in a crowded city, for example. More momentum would also be good, but if they want to keep the formula, I think it’s going to be important to rediscover the way that Adventure1/2 and the Genesis games tried to contextualize the movement gimmicks in an area, like using hand rails as grinding rails
I actually think it's the best.
The road cyberspace theme is speed highway
25:48 *DING*
17:27 more like x square or y (y is on switch)
43:13 The Fixed The Problem in the 1st Update
Honestly I agree with your opinion that Roger is the best Sonic
Loved your points about momentum and how it would improve the formula, still baffles me how people think physics aren’t important when rolling up into a ball is literally the entire reason Sonic is a hedgehog
I must be in the minority, as I loved the Ikaruga-like boss fight. The music made me feel like I was going to cry, and controlling Supreme, I felt like I was one of the Ancients avenging the destruction of their homeworld.
Cyberspace being Sonic's memories does have one plot point of significance, which is that The End was able to read Sonic's mind while he was in Cyberspace. But I also see it as an excuse for reuse. HOWEVER. Give Sonic Team grace for reusing assets and layouts in Cyberspace. They couldn't delay the game another year because they *already* did that, and corporate (SegaSammy) was pressuring them to get the game done. The thing that I do find inexcusable though is the controls. If they got the controls spot-on in the open world, why did they just ruin them in Cyberspace?
