Sonic&#8217;s new suite of abilities adds a lot of variety to exploration and combat, and the balance between unfettered speed and platforming precision feels spot on. Sonic feels better than ever to play, but the world he inhabits leaves a lot to be desired. Instead of creating a giant playground for Sonic to run around in, Sega has created a scattered open world filled with individual points of interest that don\u2019t feel connected to one another at all. There\u2019s a Ubisoft sensibility to the way Sonic Frontiers\u2019 world has been designed, which doesn\u2019t represent the qualities that have made Sonic such an enduringly popular series. There\u2019s still a lot of Sonic Frontiers we haven\u2019t seen, but I already can\u2019t help but feel like a crucial component of Sonic\u2019s DNA is missing here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/sonic-frontiers-needs-less-ubisoft-and-more-tony-hawk\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I played a bit of Sonic Frontiers earlier this month, and I found it to be as promising as it is confounding.
