What is Sonic Frontiers?

A third-person, single-player action-platformer set across five open zones on the Starfall Islands. You boost through platforming routes, explore ruins, uncover secrets, and use combos, dodges, parries, and the Cyloop to fight robots and titans as Sonic searches for the missing Chaos Emeralds and his friends. The Final Horizon campaign also makes Tails, Amy, and Knuckles playable.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy chaining fast movement across large open areas
  • +you want exploration mixed with platforming and boss fights
  • +you prefer single-player adventures with collectibles and optional challenges

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer tightly linear levels over open-zone exploration
  • −you dislike repeated challenges and collectible-driven progression
  • −you want consistent camera control during every platforming section

What players say

90% of 24,470 reviews are positive · 79% of 134 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the adjustable movement, freedom to chain jumps, boosts, and rails across the open zones, and the soundtrack. Common complaints target repetitive island activities, intrusive camera or 2D transitions, and late-game difficulty spikes. Some players also report poor draw distance, performance issues, and Denuvo-related launch restrictions.
