Sonic Frontiers (PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, PS5, PS4) (November 8, 2022)

I love Sonic. Should I cop now or do y’all think there’ll be a better sale Black Friday?

I also wanted to know if there are new levels or is it just open world with old levels?

I’m still surprised they haven’t made Sonic Adventure 3.

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 is GOAT

I paid full price and I'm loving the simple joy of open world sonic, surprisingly good combat, the darker story, Super Sonic, and the OST.

But it's definitely a game that you'll need to take breaks between island. The game is repetitive, but if you like open world exploration and puzzle platformers. It's a joy.

Play on hard, tho.

Are there a lot of new levels?

Agreed, definitely play on hard if you want the game to be even remotely challenging, otherwise the only thing you might have trouble with is figuring out where to go in some places. It's one of those games where "hard" is really just normal IMO. But then again Sonic games have always been on the easy side.

And yeah, I paid full price and don't regret it at all still an 8.5/10 game for me, although admittedly I've been a Sonic fanboy since I was a kid


One thing I do HATE though is that Starfall Slot game that randomly comes up every once and a while. That shyt is distracting and comes up at the worst times, and I don't really care to play it. I wish there was an option to just turn that off, I'm just not interested in that one.


I did find the fishing minigame finally and messed around with it. Eggman's logs are pretty interesting and explain a lot

Were you as shocked as I was that
 

Spoiler: Eggman memo

Egman confirmed damn near everything from the past 31 years is canon. Like they are really trying to tie all that fukkery from Sonic 1 to now even the spin off games happened to some extent.

That 4th island gets emotional as fukk. I didn't see that coming.




Loved the platforming challenge on island 4.


On the final island and the game still pulling new things out of it's back pocket.


I remember reviews not liking the miniboss, but I honestly enjoy them.. a lot. Plus, it's really easy to run away from them


I hate the Starfall thing... Maybe because I'm too invested in the game, but I rather go do more puzzles and stuff.

Also... Don't farm for to many upgrades. Difficulty wise... Attack and defense upgrades can turn into one shots.

Island 1 - cap around 18
Island 2 - cap around 26
Island 3 - cap around 34

I'm just getting near the end of the 3rd island guess I'll steer clear of spoilers

And yeah, my big issue with the Starfall slot thing is it fukks up the map markers, which I tend to use a lot, by marking a bunch of extra BS.

I really liked Island 3. It took a minute to get used to the obnoxious amount of 2D parts, but it was really challenging and fun.

Probably my favorite.

Just finished the 3rd island, now I'm on the part where you have to shut down the towers.

Sonic out here looking like he caught the Rona

Spoiler

Don't know what, but I have a bad feeling Sonic is doing something terrible and doesn't realize it

 

[acri1]

Spoiler

5/6 Towers

I think I'm starting to get it...I bet whatever enemy the Chaos aliens were fighting is the one telling Sonic to shut down the towers. He's probably working for the bad guy without even knowing it.

 

[Don Homer]

Made it to the 3rd Island.

Story is definitely picking up, it's basically a follow-up to Sonic Adventure. That Wyvern boss can kiss my ass though, had to start all the way over because I got caught offguard by a random QTE at the end.

Spoiler

Also, Sonic isn't looking too good at the moment

same lol

 

[acri1]

Spoiler

You can definitely tell whoever came up with this True Final Boss loves them some Nier Automata

They went kind of OD on the difficulty though, cot damn.

I despise that shyt, it takes forever to go away.
