Sonic Frontiers is a return to form in many ways. The overworld is a super in-depth sandbox that only really gets utilized to its fullest after getting the DLC spindash. The story is referential in the best way possible, and it has me confident Ian Flynn knows how to handle the fucked up melting pot of ideas this series is now. I just wish the game included more unique cyperspace levels as thats where all the best music and level design is, even if a lot is taken from prior games.
