        There's also no FPS drops on Switch handheld mode either. I own it on both Switch and PC and only use my shitty Switch in handheld mode.
        Most of the stuttering and FPS drops are from the PS5 build in fact. You can see it with most people who actually streamed it where you'll see Sonic stutter as well.

      Surprisingly really good despite some rushed aspects and jank. If Cyberspace controlled better and Island 3 wasn't loaded with middling 2D segments I would have no issues calling it great. Maybe it'll get there after the updates.

      This is the first Sonic game I've given a shot in over a decade unless Racing Transformed counts and I really liked it, I have no need to pretend since I've ignored the series for plenty of time and could go back immediately.

        Same with me. Last Sonic game I ever played was the one with Emerl on GBA. Tried this and genuinely had a fun time. I just wish the devs didn't pussy out and actually implemented the DMC-style combat they planned on.

    Basically what a lot of people think, in the fact that it's a really nice "foundation" for future titles, I hope they continue to build upon it

    Mechanically I thought it was cool Sonic could go underwater in 3D again, but they didn't really utilize it at all, also the wall running on those opal rock surfaces works really well, and they also hardly used that, Frontiers is basically just "potential" the game

      This. They recycled a few ideas that were established in Sonic Lost World, and that was another game that had some interesting ideas but a half-baked presentation. Except they torched that sucker for Sonic Boom, then quickly ran back to Boost Sonic when that imploded.
      I can only hope they care to stick with what they started and build off of it, like how Sonic 2 improved on Sonic 1 dramatically.

      That's a great way of putting it and yeah, I agree that when you focus on just getting around you get over it after a while. Only exception is the third island, where it's too pervasive to ignore. Run in a straight line for 10 seconds and you have a 50% chance of triggering a 2D section, no idea what that was all about.

    Enjoyed the novelty of the first island. Went poggers when he became super sonic. Realized the rest of the islands are the same repeated shit and just cheated by getting keys at fishing. I could go on but basically the game sucks and not worth playing after titan #1. And definitely not worth $60. But conversely $60 is the only reason I finished it because of buyers remorse. If it was free I would have dropped it at second boss maybe.

                All ARPGs pretty much do this where you can just hold a button and parry/counter the attack. It's fine when KH does it, but if Sonic does it you suffer a mental breakdown? Besides, you can use it reactively on your own rather than hold it since it becomes more seamless that way.

                Neither of you have actually played another game. Jesus Christ get off this bored its for people of age. You are literally arguing that Frontiers's parry is exactly the same as KH's reflect/guard or DMC3's Royal Guard because you hit a button to parry. For the love of god play other games and actually hold Sonic team to a fricking standard.

              They're at just the right amount of difficulty they need to be. This isn't Zelda, it's SONIC. And the only time the puzzles ever need to be more complex is when they have some level of plot importance like picrel.
              If the puzzles were more like BOTW, you'd complain that they're too slow and break the pace. The puzzles in Frontiers are perfect for a Sonic game since they don't involve slowing down for too long, something even SA1 failed at with Lost World's water snake and mirror puzzles.
              You're meant to finish them then get back to running.
              >If you are gonna force me to fight Bosses make it more complicated than one button.
              First off, Sonic game.
              Second, now I know you've never played Frontiers if you actually think the bosses only took one button. That's bullshit for both the Guardians and the Titans.

            Go frick yourself. SA2 was the only game with actual working rails you can actually do shit with, unlike the cutscene shit since Unleashed. Hell, even when a game does the same shit (Ratchet and Clank) the SAME YEAR Sonic started doing rails themselves, without the switching being broken garbage AND actually have cinamatic quality to make it look cool like in Rift's Apart, you know you fricked up. Literally the best was in SA2, and even that lacked polished that other games with rail grinding in it, didn't have, and have been consistently better at throughout 3D Sonic's entire history. Shit's trash, and the automation is part of the problem. It'd be genuinely better to have a real dev work on real gameplay instead of this half assed cutscene shit like in other IPs.

        Honestly, Frontiers coping has the been the single worse moment in Sonic's history since 06 fricked the fanbased ass open.

        First it was copium over this shit game, then the DLC copium = SA3 somehow, then the fricking Genshin shitshow. Literally all Sonicgays did last year was self sabotage themselves into being hated all over again, with zero help doing so. Now with got to deal with the fact Ian and his homosexual workers on IDW and now the games making even more actual meta tier referinos just because "it's actually what fans like so it's ok now" instead of actual good content.

        the 2020s is going to be the worse era of Sonic since the 2000s I just know it.

        If you played a version of Frontiers that didn't run at 60 you have no leg to stand on when giving your opinion on it.

        [...]
        [...]
        Unleashed and Generations controls need speed and platforming explicitly separated in order to not feel like absolute shit, because doing anything other than boosting and light reaction challenges with minimal platforming involved, feels absolutely terrible. Cyberspace controls work much better for that. 3-3 feels much more free and non-restrictive in comparison to Sky Sanctuary Modern. 3-6 and 2-2 both work a hell of a lot better for Frontiers Sonic than the slippery, yet somehow still tanky Sonic you controlled in Unleashed.

        Cyberspace has better platforming at above a crawl I guess but the higher speeds are absolutely not very smooth outside of levels that direct you heavily (even then you can Boost yourself to death in SA2 levels). Cyberspace still controls better than about half of 3D Sonic but it has a lot of room for improvement, it particularly could've used Spindash even more than Open Zone.

    Only played the demo, but Sonic controlled too stiff. I know momentum is a big meme in Sonic discussion, but it really isn’t satisfying to explore open areas in a platformer if the terrain of those areas doesn’t have a marked effect on how you control your character

      It's not ideal, but once you get Tricking (not sure why it's an upgrade) then Sonic will launch off certain ledges when boosting to give you additional air time which you can Trick during or just keep moving. I think a way to Drop Dash without double jumping would've been really nice since the Double Jump can slow momentum

        I was wondering why I wasn’t able to launch like I had seen in videos. Weird that it is locked as a upgrade. I’m sure that makes things more enjoyable. But still I feel like I wouldn’t have loved the game even so. The rest of the movement was still stiff, the objectives are largely semiautomatic set pieces, and the combat seemed uninteresting. Things like the triple stomp just feel so dissatisfying. Again, maybe some of that isn’t wholly accurate, since I only played the demo, but it turned me off from buying it for more than $10 and when I have a clear backlog

    It earned it's 8 out of 10.
    It has some flaws, some of which are minor and others which are major.
    For example, some of the minor flaws I hope they fix are:
    - Include a Level 1 Difficulty setting since Hard Mode is as hard as Kirby and the Forgotten Land Hard Mode, which is not much.
    - Include a fixed camera option perhaps or improve on the camera it follows Sonic from behind consistently. It's not the biggest offender, but it does take some getting used to at the start especially against Asura where you'll go off at weird angles and just land away from it.
    - Expand the Skill Tree and make Autocombo a setting option instead. There's slots open for more options and I'd like to play around with it.
    - Make enemies scale with your stat so they're tougher.
    Major flaws they should address are:
    - Chaos Island has an overabundance of 2D Sections where it isn't needed, especially since you can already start them in multiple points out of sequence without needing to switch to 2D. Take out what isn't necessary and balance it around the transition from 3D to 2D. Kronos, Ares, Rhea and Ouranos did this no reason for Chaos Island not to do this.
    - Supreme and The End are both really hard to like. Supreme is piss easy compared to it's predecessors (they were all easy despite being in hard mode), so it should be harder with a bigger HP bar.
    - The End needs a 2nd Phase. One that Sonic throws hands with. It's clear the entire thing surrounding Sonic and Sage fighting it was inspired by SA2 and Unleashed but Sonic Team failed to commit. Thankfully they did say they were going to work on it.
    - Fix Elder Koco. No reason I need to press A for like 50+ minutes to get my stats maxed out.
    There's probably more shit I got in mind but that's about it.

      Wild how almost 30 years ago Nintendo actually let you control this when spinning bowser. SEGA meanwhile turns it into a shitty cutscene. It's like SEGA has actually learned nothing since the Dreamcast died.

          The boss fights were way too cutscene dependent in general. I hate it when games force me to do QTE shit, I'm awful when complete autonomy is taken from my hands and I just have to read the developer's mind. I hated shit like the Krauser knife fight in RE4 back then and I still hate shit like Frontiers' titan bosses now. The End for true ending was fun as frick though. It's almost like I got to play a fricking video game or something.

    5/10 game that took too long and costs too much. It's ridiculous something this bland took 5 years, but I also don't expect better from Sonic Team. Also the fact this studio works out of the same company as RGG and somehow made combat that this is one note is hilarious. A great combat system is often dictated by how much interaction the player can have with the enemies and since the majority of Sonic's moves are glorified cutscenes it bland and miserable.
    Cyberspace controls like ass and reuses level layouts from better controlling and overall better games
    Open Zone is cool but without enjoyable movement it gets boring quick. Mario has so many moves in the 3D games to avoid this exact problem. Sonic Team need to make exploration have more opportunities for more skillful play or it gets boring.

    Honestly if they just focused on the Open Zone instead of splitting the gameplay style 3 fricking ways yet again we might have actually had something great. God I fricking hate Sonic Team.

          The controls can't even handle some stages ported from other boost games, if they were the best they'd work with levels designed around worse movement. I liked Cyberspace a good bit and think it's better than MOST Boost, but there are some that are just not good because of the control.

          [...]
          I enjoyed the fishing personally, although I mostly used it for the Eggman memos and topping off on rings/XP. I think I got a portal gear once in island 5 after I didn't find Caterpillar or the last Tower upgrade fun, but Shinobi was so fun that I fought it enough for all my gears anyway. I really think the combat shines when you get to combine it with traversal, moving around a big field and using an errant spring or rail to dodge or set up an attack.

          homie, Forces controls better than Cyberspace

          Unleashed and Generations controls need speed and platforming explicitly separated in order to not feel like absolute shit, because doing anything other than boosting and light reaction challenges with minimal platforming involved, feels absolutely terrible. Cyberspace controls work much better for that. 3-3 feels much more free and non-restrictive in comparison to Sky Sanctuary Modern. 3-6 and 2-2 both work a hell of a lot better for Frontiers Sonic than the slippery, yet somehow still tanky Sonic you controlled in Unleashed.

            The controls fricking destroy any reward you would ever get from playing him. He's supposed to feel fricking an unwieldy force of nature to the player and the immovable object that is the level. The reward is mastering those factors and beating the level perfectly. Everyone remembers 1-2 in frontiers because it pushed them for that S rank instead of handing it out like every other level in the game.

                If this any other platformer this shit would be piss easy, boring even! But due to Unleashes controls the level becomes more interesting and rewarding to navigate. You are implying sonic should be casualized for a general platforming audience rather than embrace what makes him so fun.

        I thought it was a good move, the game's trying to unfrick a decade's worth of garbage writing and establish some level of consistency going forward, so actually having Tails acknowledge his out of character moments and justifying them is a good way to go about it. I prefer it over them just totally ignoring the issue since it's at least some assurance that shit will be improved going forward.
