Sonic Frontiers is fun to play. The open world format works well but that's where things stop. The large set pieces you're meant to work towards never function in the intended way, especially the boss fights which end up just being grueling. The voice acting recasts are heartbreaking, no one feels like the original sonic team characters. Huge bummer.

This game is excellent! A lot of fun with a friend.
Games don't get more complete than this. Tears of the Kingdom is an ante up in every possible way. I've never played anything like it. The abilities and world systems lend themselves to some of the most inventive and unique gameplay I've ever had the pleasure of tooling around with. I was captured in the world. The story melted my heart.
Several heavy shortcomings hold it back from being a perfect game!

One of gaming's all time great trilogies. It doesn't get much better than this!

Tren rips. It's a game of pure fun that never gets in its own way, constantly throwing new ideas at the player that never tire.
The amount of traversal options, genuinely clever levels and everything was such a joy. This is a can't miss!

Music absolutely bangs. Cannot say it enough. Had two original songs with vocals in my spotify repeat through the end of the year.
Characters are neat. I love companions having their own storylines, I didn't love progressing a single companion, getting loads of battle benefits then going back to square one to advance someone else. It really limited how much I was able to fuse or leverage high level mechanics. It's difficult to onboard party member options in RPGs like this. The ranger captains all rock, world aesthetic is wonderful. Loads of weird little guys that I really enjoyed seeing, collecting, battling with and as. Fusions rock, fusing everything rocks.
The type chart is informed and inventive, mechanics of buffs and debuffs rather than super or ineffective is great.
Progression stutters and feels very limited at times. I just had a lot of issues playing through the game at times. I love the attempt and want more things like Cassette Beasts (but it speaks for itself that I wasn't compelled to touch any DLC content after rolling credits)

A neat game that marries a lot of bangers to create something special of its own. Didn't really hit for me!
Definitely recommend playing on a lower difficulty, the higher levels cause the movement to really show its blemishes.

Excellent addition to an already incredible game. Only thing that would benefit the mode is if you could tweak what weapons, consumables, etc. can appear.

Dredge is bullet proof top to bottom. Music is incredible, sound design and vfx are perfect. The gameplay is a perfect marrying of exploring in a boat, fishing minigames, rpg trees and filling out a compendium. Vibes are immaculate, mysteries abundant, characters and world fun. Do not sleep on Dredge.
A great romp with a friend
Even better than the base game! Certainly enhanced by having played it but the team comp being frozen is an afterthought with the way Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky open the gameplay options.
It told a story that was somehow more nice, the world was wonderful, music charming, love to see and hear some DK sfx the whole way through! Definitely do not skip this.

My own personal purgatory... the twist is that it's a Rogue...
I get it, I've seen what the games does and understand how it's special. It just doesn't connect for me

Tunic will go down as one of the greats.

A solid take on Snake that's been fun to jump into.
