They are part of the reason why we got games like the storybook sonic, sonic forces, sonic 06, sonic lost world (admittedly a somewhat decent sonic game at best), and other weird iterations.

I enjoyed the hell out of this game. Anything wrong, is a minor nitpick at best and a small issue at worst that a player will have addressed at some point. Loved the story, environments were beautiful, interactions were funny, cute and intriguing. Fights are fun as hell as well(especially Boss 3). I hope that, this game, is the new standard we have for Sonic games going forward. I agree with Jirard's Completionist rating of: Complete it. Edit: With the new waves of updates coming in 2023, this opinion is subject to change. And with the 3rd update coming in late 2023, Jirard may have to add to this review afterwards.

Just got a chance to play this today and I'm almost frustrated that I had to stop. It's pretty much exactly what I wanted from an evolution of the Adventure-era games, between the playstyle and the overall vibe. If this is the franchise going forward I'm absolutely delighted.

I absolutely LOVED Sonic Adventure 2 in middle school and I even went the extra mile and fully completed it. So I've been dieing for another good 3D Sonic game. So glad people seem to be enjoying it, look forward to picking it up at some point.

Great review gerard, this is why you’re one of my favorite reviewers. Not everyone appreciates when sonic tries to actually achieve something new and just want to hate on it. You gave it a fair evaluation and also showed why sonic can be so special at the same time

i know i'm probably alone in this, but i kind of appreciate that objects unload at a somewhat short distance. to me, it not only helped with choice paralysis in trying to figure out what to go for, but it also became a key part of figuring out *how* to obtain the rewards. like i'd mark a memory token in the map, follow the beam, and then use the pop-in to determine which objects were close to it to either backtrack to the beginning of that challenge, or figure out a way to skip the challenge altogether. rails being rendered from a much greater distance made them the really helpful guides to know if an area would be relevant at the moment, or to figure out traversal within an island. maybe in the future they could add an optional setting to increase the render distance in more powerful hardware, but i did enjoy playing with the pop in as a feature regardless of it existing due to technical limitations.

Whoa, THIS is an earlier Completionist than I expected! I was expecting it to drop on Saturday like it usually does. As for Sonic Frontiers, one thing I will say is that Sonic's speed does seem to offset the potential doldrums of traversing the world. Because in a bunch of open-world games, it usually takes a while to cross it on foot, and even with stuff like mounts or vehicles it still takes a while. But with Sonic speed? It does look like you could traverse it pretty quickly, cutting down on the dead air that crossing the world can often entail.

Beat the first area. Pretty fun!

100% best Sonic game in a decade (since Generations), and I'd argue as a 90s kid best Sonic game in two decades (since SA2). Was thinking today how this feels like even more a spiritual successor to SA1 than SA2 does in many ways (Fishing with Big, future solo stories, Tails' story arc, open world hub areas, the race of the ancients, etc.). I also love that this game remembers that peak Sonic has always been a platformer with a fair bit of exploration, even while bringing in a uniquely fast pace to the genre. Good point about the cyber space levels being recycles, though. Tbh, I usually only did half of them since you don't need to finish them all to progress. I didn't think about it too much given my focus on the overworld.

Thank you again for a great video about a game that's fantastic. I love this game so much and I'm glad I beat it before watching your video.

Personally I'd advice sleeping instead of playing through the whole night. It's good for your health and you'll feel a lot better the next day(s) than if you played throughout the night. The game isn't going anywhere anyway.

Interesting review. I can't wait for you and Shill Up to talk about this on FPS!

Exactly what I was thinking, I'm impressed by how far apart their reviews are and it will be interesting hearing them talk it out.

You got me hooked on the sonic games so I playing a few before I get to this one. You have that power when you hyped about a game you get others hyped too.

So nice to see Sonic get a win. Hope the formula gets more polished in the next installment.

I'm so glad they were able to put out a game like this. While it is sad seeing the remnants of the plans they didn't have time to complete, what they did do makes me so happy

Yeah, and for the most part, this proved that Sonic Team wanted to make this happen as much as the audience do. Plus, SEGA of Japan just have no patience to make it even more polished. Why don’t more people talk about this?

one thing i think is really cool is the fact that the 1st and 4th island areas are actually the exact same landmass, and you can see elements from the 1st island from your higher perch on the "4th" island

After seeing this I will definitely play this thanks for the solid review ☺️

Small rant incoming: I hate when people do the comparison game “Sonic Breath of the Wild” like as if that game was the first open world game. Other games have done open world too and have had some inspiration from other games, it’s just stupid nitpicking.

This game means so much to so many of us. I hope Sonic Team feels the full extent of the love we have for it and them

I loved your video. I got a little teary also. I was six when Sonic 3 came out and it's one of my top favorite games of all time. For 28 years I wished for a good 3d Sonic game. This felt like a return of one of my best childhood friends. With all the controvesy around this title, I am happy to see you enjoying it too.

amazing work Jrard!

Glad to hear this game is well received, seems like a lot of fun!

Why can't every review be as informative and comprehensive as yours? Going to buy this now.

While I was already considering getting it, your video sealed the deal. I think Sonic Frontiers looks so neat that I'll get it for the Switch right after I play through Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. It's going to be my second Sonic game ever right after Sonic Advance 3.

I can’t wait for friends per second podcast this week. You and skill up are going to have such different thoughts

Your video has solidified my intent to purchase this game. This is the Sonic experience I was waiting for since Adventure 2. Frontiers while not perfect is the blueprint to making the next entry a masterpiece.

After all these years Sonic is finally back!

Glad to see a respected gamer like the completionist give a positive take on this game

I love that the sonic movie plush back there is just glaring at you

It's been over 20 years since we've had a good 3d game. I don't know what kind of balancing they did, what the dev journey was like, but they finally have movement that feels good. It feels like you're actively in control rather than just being along for the ride. It feels so fast yet it still feels like you have plenty of time to decide what route to take and prepare for a jump. It's incredible

17:10 Said this on Johnny’s review, but apart from the physics issues and how they don’t translate so well to most of the following, I think the worst part of the Cyber Space levels coming as a long-time player in the series is that you can recognize the specific levels or sections being referenced…but they all have either a Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Sky Sanctuary, or generic City theme slapped on top of them. What makes it sting all the more is the fact that these are pulled from the memories of Sonic and Eggman. They recognize South Island, West Side Island, and Angel Island but all we see is one biome each of those that have been getting used in console Generations (twice for the former two with Forces; an additional time for all three if you count the Minecraft levels which use those same three biomes). Sonic in casual dialogue as he runs around the islands brings up even more locales from across his journeys, almost all being treated as canon, like Shamar, Red Mountain, Babylon Gardens, Planet Wisp, Lava Reef Zone. Heck, Eggman in one of the collectible Egg Memos brings up the Dodonpa Kingdom from Team Sonic Racing! And yet none of that is presented beyond slight nods in terms of layout but not the appearance.

I need to say that, this game could lead to so much greatness. So many great things can come from this story, all of its implications and in particular Sonic's characterization. I dont know how many of them are canonical but datamined Voice lines really push forward Sonic's honest thoughts about things. I was hyped for this game and.. for the first time in YEARS I am hopeful for Sega's future games. Also Sticks and Tangle both get references which really opens the hell out of the games Canon time line.

Little correction about Flynn and the comics. He wrote the Archie sonic comics from 2006-2017 when they ended. IDW didn’t start until 2017 and he was the main writer there too. So it’s been closer to two decades that he’s been writing these characters

If I wasn't already getting the game, this vid most definitely would have convinced me

I seriously love this game. Don't let the critics' cynicism get to you, it's the best sonic since generations.

I won't lie, I've been intrigued by this game since the first teaser dropped. I haven't gotten to see much of it since then, but I've read a lot of comments about it. Jirard, your review convinced me to pull the trigger and buy it. It looks fun, you made it sound fun, and I'm actually excited about a Sonic release for the first time since SADX on GameCube. I'm looking forward to experiencing this.

So glad you liked Frontiers Jirard! I've been having a blast with it!

Can't wait to hear this discussion with Ralph. 😂😂😂😂
