SONIC FRONTIERS Full Gameplay Walkthrough / No Commentary 【FULL GAME】4K Ultra HD
🌟 DESCRIPTION🌟
This is definitely a tough one to edit as a traditional walkthrough, because make no mistake, this game is truly open world. You can go anywhere on the map and you can do things in almost any order. There’s no fluid narrative guiding you other than you need to collect some things to unlock other things. So I tried to just compress my experience here in a 12 hour vid. Cut out most deaths. Cut down most failures in puzzles, although not all. Just wanted to give you an idea on the vid!
MY THOUGHTS ON THE GAME: I absolutely loved this game. The game is far from perfect, there are many issues that would drive me crazy in other games: grind-fest, constant texture pop-in, disjointed narrative. But ultimately, for Sonic Frontiers, “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.”
The game took me about 30 hours to beat on normal, (I did the ending on Hard Mode to get the full ending) and got S Rank on all the old-school Sonic levels. I spent a lot of time gathering memory tokens to try and get as much of the side stories as I could. I also completely unlocked Sonic’s skill tree. But there is still more to do if I wanted.
For me, the thing that has always made Sonic what it is, is the beautiful feeling of visceral speed. Make no mistake about it, this game is truly an open world games, and there’s always been doubts to whether Sonic can translate into an open world environment. When I first saw the previews, I was skeptical. The world felt dead, empty. And indeed it is empty when comparing it to traditional open world games. There are very little NPCs, there not many activities, no sprawling side quests etc. But after playing it, what I’ve come to realize is that Sonic doesn’t need to be like other open world games, nor should it. What this game really is, is a sprawling playground to maneuver Sonic’s incredible speed and tight controls. He’s perfect. He FEELS perfect. (60FPS only!)
The 5 different maps are all fairly large and provide a huge canvas for you to paint with controller. The environment is chalk full of mini puzzles, rails lines, and secrets that all use Sonic’s moves in different ways. You can double jump, slide, speed boost, parry, cyclone loop and so much more. Looking back on it now, Sonic 06 and Sonic Adventure both tried to do Open world hubs and they didn’t work, because Sonic fans didn’t want to slow down the pace. The very thought of slowing down is anti Sonic. And now, they finally got it right. At least the barebones engine-of-it-all.
The combat is also a standout in Frontiers. It is a bit on the simpler side, to the point that if can feel like button mashing at times, but there is enough variety in skills that it never got dull throughout my entire playthrough. It’s always fun unlocking the new skill and using in your repertoire.
The last but not least, the soundtrack. OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK. It’s so varied and eclectic and yet it all works. There’s mood-setting atmospheric hymns, as well as 90’s anime rock blaring during boss fights. There’s dubstep and Sonic elevator music. It all works. I don’t know how, but it is an absolute masterpiece of a soundtrack. Incredible.
All that being said, there’s major room for improvement. The pop-in in particular is very frustrating. In most games, a pop-in ultimately doesn’t mean much other than a graphical bug that might suck you out of the immersion. In this game, so much of how-you-see-the-world changes how you move around-in-it. The pop in can really throw off your rhythm and damper your experience. Draw distance is also pretty poor (played on the Xbox Series X). When you’re trying to traverse over long lines across islands, but you can’t see the rails in the distance, you find yourself wasting time looking for the right path because you couldn’t see something that is supposed to be right in front of your eyes.
The grindy-ness is pretty extreme, it takes a lot to level up your speed and ring capacity for example. In my 30 hour playthrough I only got my ring capacity to level 15 out of 99 for example. To be fair, it’s not something I particularly cared to grind for, but the requirement of hunting down Kocos around the map is not something that enticed me. I got my power and defense well over 50 in the same time, not even trying to level them up. It’s 100% padding, but truthfully I never minded because I enjoyed using Sonic so much it didn’t matter. From an objective point of view, I’d give the game a 7.5/10, acknowledging some of its missteps and bugs. But from a subjective point of view, I’d give it 9.5/10 for the incredibly joyful experience I had. It reminded me of the first time I played Sonic on the Sega Genesis. It was a new feeling with Sonic in an Open World, and yet somehow still felt fully nostalgic. I highly recommend you check out the game!

This has to be the best Sonic game in years! Not only was the story and gameplay incredible, plus the callback to the history of the Sonic game universe at multiple points, but it also finally began to create some very huge Sonic storylines. For example, we finally learned where the Chaos Emeralds originated AFTER 30 YEARS!! It looks like Sonic truly isn't over after Forces, it's just begun! Judging by the major implications of the story and the last part where Eggman is recovering Sage, it appears that they're beginning to develop some major plot for the Sonic franchise going forward, for the first time in quite a while! Can't wait to see what Sonic games come next.

Massive ? These are barely baby steps. Don't get me wrong, it's admirable that there is some attempt here at world building and tell a serious story, but in execution, it just feels so bland and boring, these voice actors don't help. Also, in the attempt making everything connected, they lumped in good lore (S3&K, SA1 and Unleashed) with garbage (Lost World, Forces, even Boom smh). It might me be a comeback, but it's something that should have NEVER happened in the first place. Not after 12 years.

This does seem like a big step in the right direction from the last mainline game. And a step up from Origins too.

[@cirnosnumberfan6449]

Origins was a compilation of old games, not really anything to called new per say, and it's a classic title.

[@kieranstark7213]

While most people would dislike Origins, I think some people only like it because it’s a 2010s (to early 2020s) Sonic game (today, with the birth of Sonic Frontiers, this is the end of the Meta (or Colours, or Second (or third or 2.5 after the late 2000s with the Sonic Storybook duology (power to those that like these games), Sonic ‘06, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (I’d take not only Super Mario RPG, but any Mario RPG, mainly the ones of the 2000s, any day), Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Free Riders.)

For anyone curious, yes, the last 2 islands are just straight cut off sections of the first island, you can even see them while you're on the first island but you can't reach them because they've been made inaccessible. There's even a recording from Eggman where he mentions specifically 3 islands meaning the change to cut them off happened after that dialogue was recorded and recent enough that no one thought to go back and change that. It's another example of Sega being Sega, please don't hold it against the game itself, it's clear Sonic Team is really trying here and I'm super hopeful for what might come next assuming Sega actually cares about the franchise.

The atmosphere this game passes is INSANE. Based on our last releases, this game is a breath of fresh air into the franchise in almost every aspect. Technically speaking, it's far from polished, and it feels rather bland at times, most likely because I'm not used seeing Sonic in a true open world (it still feels unreal ngl). However, the sense of freedom it captures like no previous Sonic game has managed to pass makes it humbly up to the top. This does feel like the rebirth of our blue hedgehog, and I'm so glad to see it happening.

During the intro when Tails and co are struggling against the abnormal current in their plane, there is one long Japanese line Tails says with the subtitle fading prematurely.

[@Arcticanine]

I'm at the end of the third island, in the video, and I'd like to say a few things. I thought that the islands were named after Greek Deities. Kronos, Ares and then probably Hades for the third but it was Chaos instead. Edit 1: Then it goes back to Greek Deities with Rhea. Edit 2: I was wrong about Chaos, it IS a Greek Deity. (Khaos) Also the Titans seemed to have names of medieval fantasies like Knight and Wyvern. Not sure about the first Titan if he was a medieval fantasy. Edit 2: I think Giganto too has relations to that. Edit 3: With the four wings, *"Supreme* being" seems like the medieval fantasy here.

[@Arcticanine]

I can't believe I watched a 12h long video in one day. Can I just mention how it actually hurt listening to Eggman say "Dear Daughter"? Like, this is the villian of old Sonic games? Goddamn...

I loved sonic generations, unleashed, adventure, and 06 ( yes everyone has their guilty pleasure ). I am so glad they went to the adventure formula after 06. Adventure is where you can really make sonic shine. This has to be up there with the top 5 sonic games ever. It’s a massive step in the right direction for the franchise

Oh God IM so excited with this game!!

[@faker_sh]

My favourite moments (I'll keep updating) 52:43 - bro... this seems like Amy's confession, I suppose. It seems that this world they're trapped in makes them speak up to their mind, like revealing their secrets. I felt genuinely shaken for a moment. Sonamy fans must be quaking. (nah bro, she was talking about the Koko dinglet there, but still, one could interpret it as such). 1:07:59 - squid ga- squid battle. This gets to showcase not only the sick moves the squid got, but also Sonic's combat system, although the player seems to resort to the default combo. Also got to see the seemingly time stop ability, which is pretty dope. Wanted to see them falling mid-air, what would the squid do? 1:10:59 - is my sense of humour broken? 1:12:23 - again, is my sense of humour broken? 1:17:36 - just sonic running through the fields. this is why this open world, which at first looks empty to the eyes, works so well. It captures the "run, just run" vibe I sorta been missing in the latest installments of the franchise. 1:29:05 - the infamous 4th chaos emerald plus sonic little dance. 1:29:40 - ... 1:32:10 - "love" 1:40:20 - "it's beautiful here, but there's a loneliness here. the land feels sad and empty". 1:48:58 - amy's been hitting the feelings again. 2:00:52 - I know, the game itself is stunning, but this stage in particular is just w o a h, it looks like you're playing inside the green hills you've got to see on that scene of the sonic movie, like a CGI but playable. 2:05:03 - from this scene I can already tell that Sage isn't the villain, as I thought originally. Perhaps not even Eggman himself. 2:08:06 - so those Kokos seem to be connected to the emeralds, in the sense they're like an ancient or alternate form of chaos-alike forms. interesting. 2:10:25 - Amy's been hitting the feelings AGAIN. 2:16:07 - the first Titan, Giganto, shows up, and with it the based SS appearance + the crazy good music + whatever this is marvelous. 3:19:40 - Ramiel spotted

I'm so excited to play it. Hopefully launch on ps4 won't be too buggy, I want to play as soon as possible. Preordered a while back because it's the first Sonic game in a long time that I'm actually looking forward to. Skimmed through the video a bit just to get an idea of what to expect and it's looking like everything I've wanted in it! Thanks for sharing. Also glad it has a decent length to it. I'm sure I'll put in a good 30 or so hours real quick.

@@douglasbreno4966 it's good! Haven't had any crashes or performance problems. Looks great. I'm still struggling with the controls a bit, but that's only because I'm not used to playing something so fast paced.

The characters in the game went into a mental change Amy:from being a childish sonic fangirl to a more mature personality Knuckles:still a hot-headed idiot but after seeing his past ..I feel bad for him being chained to the master emerald so he decided to go on a journey to gain experience about life and that's a welcome change to his character Tails: from being a sidekick to sonic to a person who wants to be a help for sonic anytime he needs him And lastly ... Sage: she wants to protect eggman but she also wants to help sonic because she saw what he is doing to free his friends but because both are enemies Sage gave me Zerotwo childhood vibes A person who wanted attention, lost in different emotions Nice work SEGA you stole our hearts with this game Something I haven't seen since sonic unleashed

What in the fuck is “introverted Sonic”

[@boomgirlbucko]

@@jayevans6146 Search it up on KZbin. OG Sonic is an introvert.

[@jayevans6146]

@@boomgirlbucko That is literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. These Sonic fans just be making up bs for views. Sonic was never an “introvert”. Literally no official work or press has specified this.

[@boomgirlbucko]

@@jayevans6146 Just look it up. The reason it sounds like bullshit is because the new writers have completely ruined Sonic's character. Remember in Sonic X when Sonic gets challenged to a race and he declines and would rather chill alone on the roof? And he only accepted because they wouldn't stop bothering him? Also, just btw, not all introverts are shy. There's a big difference between being shy, social anxiety, and introverted. (He used to be a complex three dimensional introvert/ambivert but they ruined his character and made him a one-dimensional, obnoxious, extrovert.)
