It's finally here, after 5 long years we finally have the next mainline sonic game. Sonic Frontiers is being touted as the “next evolution” of sonic, aiming to lay the groundwork for the next era of sonic games, similar to how adventure and unleashed did when they came out. This time, sonic is tackling open world gameplay, excuse me, open “zone” gameplay to be more accurate. The lead up to this game has been arduous to say the least. The initial marketing cycle for this game was abysmal. People didn’t really know what the game was or what it was about, thanks to Sega playing up the mystery aspect of the game’s plot, going so far as to ban gameplay recording at some events. Once reviews finally came out, instead of clearing the air with a definitive judge of the games quality, they were split down the middle, some calling it the worst sonic game ever made, and others calling it the pinnacle of the series. So, know that I’ve sat down and played the thing, what's the verdict? Well…It's good…but. I’m extremely conflicted with how I feel about Frontiers. I feel that this game embodies both the best and worst aspects of the franchise, all in one nice little package…with a pretty little bow on top. I'll get into the specifics a little more later, but on the whole I’m very conflicted about this game and what it means for the series going forward. How does the open zone evolve Sonic? Does the plot finally have steaks again? Is the combat engaging or just a simple distraction? What was he cooking? Find out all of this and more, as we take a deep dive into Sonic Frontiers.
I don't know how to feel about Sonic Frontiers. Sonic Frontiers is a super fun open world game. This is a Sonic video essay. Sonic Frontiers is the newest and greatest game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. In this Sonic Frontiers video, I will be reviewing the game as a whole. Some would call this a Sonic Frontiers critique or Sonic Frontiers Analysis. This video contains Sonic Frontiers Gameplay and Sonic Frontiers Cutscenes and Sonic Frontiers Music. If you disagree with me that's ok. I don't how I feel about Sonic Frontiers is the best video I've ever made.

Very good video father.

Based on the game and director comments, I can somewhat guess how things came to be.
The "open zone" part is important because it's somewhere inbetween an open world and a collectathon, there's nothing quite like it. If you start with the idea of Sonic in an open world, what do you do? What kinds of challenges, objectives and story can go with that? A lot of time must have been spent just experimenting to see what sticks, so they polished up the first two islands and the game started falling apart after that. Island 3 is when they start using more 2D sections, putting section starters inside treasure spots, and introduce the hacking minigame that just so happened to be the final boss.
Playtesters found the combat hard (go figure, they put a Ninja at the very start!) so they kept buffing Sonic until it invalidated the entire system. Without confidence in the combat system, most of the minibosses avoided it entirely by focusing on gimmicks and platforming challenges like you already do on the islands, leaving the Ninja series as the only one that really seems built around the combat.
Likewise, after playing with momentum, I feel like they deliberately removed it because playtesters found it hard to control... When doing 3D platforming, most people want landing jumps to be painless, hence slowing down when jumping makes sense if you want the average journalist to say good things about your game.
The story largely suffers from the entire ending being rushed, but also from being more of a scenario than a plot. The characters are just placed on the island and the writer is told to make up all these dialogue scenes, with the broad strokes of the plot being kinda nothing. The Japanese subtitles seem pretty off, so what does it even mean that Ian Flynn wrote the dialogue...?
But the game does have a certain spark that hasn't been there in a really long time. Uneventful as it is, the story is at least taking itself seriously and the game's atmosphere goes along with it, especially in the music department. The music CARRIES the whole thing, whenever I think back on Frontiers the first thing that comes to mind is the music when exploring the islands and the epic Super Sonic themes.
What was he cooking fr (great vid keep up the amazing work!)
It's worth pointing out that the overall plot was actually already written by Sega/Sonic Team/The powers that be/Jesus and Ian was told to write mostly dialogue and the character work we do get can be traced back to him. I hope they give him more freedom in the future since he seems to be the most competent part about the writing team.
You should re-review the game after the Sonic’s Birthday Update! It made the game refreshing and fun again, especially with the Spindash and Power-Boost in Cyberspace. Also, they made a slider for slowing down on the ground + midair. 0 on each adds the momentum everyone loves
I am planning on looking at the the game again, but I'm going to wait until the last update comes out so I can look at everything at once. The changes in the recent update have done a lot to improve my thoughts of the open zone though
I just want to say that after watching your DB:Breakers video I decided to check your other videos (that one got recommended to me randomly, tho I was watching some DB gaming videos when I saw it pop up so there's that) and since I was a casual Sonic fan as a kid and have become a proper invested Sonic fan over the past year I couldn't help but watch this video. This channel is seriously high quality, I hope that youtube recommending me a video of yours is a sign that the algorithm is starting to pick you up. You seriously deserve much more views and subscribers, but at least for now you've got one more subscriber today.
Thank you! Thats so nice of you to say, I really appreciate it
