I’ve been playing Sonic Frontiers, which has been surprisingly fun. It has a similar vibe to what “Mario Odyssey” did for mario, the mixture of 3D, camera controlled, and 2D segments was done well in my opinion.
Personally, I actually gave it a negative review. The exploration generally is very fun, but so much of the levels, activities, combat ranged from unimpressive to infruriating. It’s basically carried by just being open-world Sonic, which is a formula for success.
I actually enjoyed the open-world HUB of Shadow Generations, and the game as a whole, much more. In fact, that game probably set my expectations too high, even knowing Frontiers was infamously janky.
I should probably caveat that the last sonic game I really enjoyed and finished is sonic adventure (played some since, but none clicked). So I may not be the best “sonic” evaluator.
But I think I get where you’re coming from. A lot of the platforming is more “automated” and when it isn’t it does get a bit janky. However it did a good job of making me feel fast and felt less janky than any other recent 3D sonic.
