And once you have a knack for the controls, you can more or less force your way through hard to climb mountains without breaking a sweat and make Todd Howard proud. Some of that will involve rail grinding or rings that launch Sonic far into the distance. Objectives placed across the maps typically have multiple paths that you can take to reach them. Now it all takes place outside the confines of the limited worlds of Unleashed, Heroes, Lost World, and etcetera-all of Frontiers’ five Starfall Islands can be fully traversed and it’s truly refreshing. Be it on a 2D or 3D plane, he lives to go fast, weaving his way through stage obstacles, assists, and hazards. (Sonic Team/SEGA) Sonic is the Fightersįor the uninitiated, Sonic is all about speed.
Trapped on the ‘Starfall Islands’ after a rough crash-landing, Sonic will need to rescue his friends and escape the islands while in the process of uncovering the mystery of what came before. This time, Sonic goes open world, a radical change from his usual linear stage-based gameplay and it’s a change that I think should be iterated on despite Sonic Frontiers’ significant flaws.īut let’s cut to the chase: Sonic Frontiers is an action-adventure game developed by Sonic Team and published by SEGA. Due credit should be given to Sonic Team-they always try something new with Sonic and I can appreciate that. And in Sonic’s case (COVID complications included), it’s been five years since the release of the rather middling Sonic Forces. But now he’s like the rest of the industry where, understandably, game development can take well over four years to complete. It wasn’t that long ago that we’d get one, sometimes even two, game releases of everyone’s favourite blue hedgehog.
The year is 2022 and we’re talking about a new Sonic release.
