Sonic Frontiers

I've seen the combat, and I do think it's a slightly better video than the first one. The boss fight does give me quite the Shadow of Colossus vibes; not that bad actually, good rising difficulty of the fight. However for the other enemies, while those weak ones don't take too many hits to kill, the other ones do seem like they take too long to destroy, but I don't know if they're like minibosses or common enemies. If they're really common, we're going to have a problem.
 
Welp, there's been two new trailers, more hands-on impressions, people have actually played the game, it's like the Sonic Cycle but backwards.

Two new ones?
 
I've finished Sonic Frontiers yesterday.

AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!

IIt's not perfect mind you, there are definitely places the game could be improved on. But as is? It's still to me, probably the best 3D Sonic game since Adventure 2. No disrespect meant to Colors or Generations but the boost-only games got stale for me overtime. Only so much moving forward only and side scrolling I could take. The Open Zone gameplay of Frontiers finally brings back a real 360 degree movement for Sonic that hasn't been seen since the Adventure era of games. And speeding throughout the islands feels exhilarating. It helps that the story, music, and voice acting are all pretty top notch too. I think the moment I really fell in love with this game, was for sure the first titan fight with Super Sonic. That's an experience that I haven't felt in a Sonic game in nearly 2 decades.

With the success this game is having across the board both with reviewers and fans alike.This is looking to be the future of Sonic for a good while. AND I'M ALL FOR IT! I want to see a Mystic Ruins and/or Station Square hubworld that includes setpieces from SA1's hubworld but expanded to be as big as a Sonic Frontiers island. There's so much potential with Open Zone. And while the combat is rather simple compared to many beat em' ups , it's still a lot of fun being able to pick and choose your moves.

I am so glad this game exceeded expectations. It's about time there was a general good feeling about a 3D Sonic game, rather the the past few years of "Sega will never make a good 3D Sonic game ever again"
 
I am playing this and have finished the first two island. Running around as Sonic in an open world is very fun, and I just generally enjoy having the ability to run around these islands and find whatever there is. Cyber Space is also a nice break, the usual boost gameplay of replaying a level over and over again trying to do as well as possible nevers gets old. Combats kind of lame but also it's Sonic so I just running past every enemy anyway. Highly recommend if you enjoy good video games.
