Probably the most half-and half game I’ve ever played
the gameplay was fun during the first two hours but the loop of having to collect emblems to progress the story became a total chore- fishing with Big for an hour or two became way more enjoyable than running around the map. I beat the game but I didn’t get the “true” ending. I can see myself playing enough to go back and get it, but not right now.
The cutscenes were mostly stiff and awkward but had a few cute moments. I played the game after the first free update released- the one that added a music player, I think the game would’ve been unbearable if I had to listen to the default music the whole time.
The best parts of the game were easily the combat and the bosses. A good way to describe it is simple but fun. All of the enemies have their own unique way that you have to fight them, once you figure that out beating em is no problem, but still satisfying. And then the bosses ramp that feeling up to ten. Once I figured out what I was doing, going super sonic and whaling on giant robos was easy, but godDAMN was it a good spectacle. Before I played frontiers, I’ve heard other people praise the music nonstop and yeah, they were right, those tracks go crazy, and make the boss battles feel even more amazing.
All in all, the game has a lot of flaws, but it’s pretty fun despite that. I still think sonic fans deserve better, but this game definitely has its moments.
