![]() Throughout it all, pumping alongside your adventure, is Sonic Frontiers’ phenomenal soundtrack. Ubisoft should take note for its next Assassin's Creed, to be completely honest. And I appreciate that the game is interested in keeping a brisk pace despite its open-world nature. Darting across the islands and completing the various platforming challenges is its own satisfying reward. Still, issues with collectibles don’t stop Sonic Frontiers’ from being utterly exhilarating to play. Most other collectibles suffer this fate, too, becoming surplus once you’ve completed an island. That renders your accumulating skill points, well, pointless. You’ll likely fill out Sonic’s skill tree of abilities before you’ve even finished the second of five islands. At a certain point, Sonic Frontiers’ collectibles become largely redundant. Though, if you are aiming for 100% completion, don’t hope for a big payoff for doing so. Plus, you can fast-travel between islands if you want to shoot for full completion. You’ll need to fulfill a collectible quota, but once you have, you’re free to progress whenever you like. Think of each island as a large playground. At roughly 20 hours (pushing 30 if you’re going for 100% completion) it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Throw in miniature puzzle challenges – pushing you to press buttons in a certain order or maintaining an extra long boost – and you’ll find that each island will keep you busy.ĭespite all this activity, Sonic Frontiers never feels overwhelming or overstuffed. You’ll need to take down a good number of these to access Cyber Space portals in the first place. Each requires a different strategy to overcome, and they’re surprisingly different from one another. Then there are the colossal mini-bosses scattered throughout the map. Areas are littered with platforming challenges that you’ll spring, slide, boost and grind through to obtain Memory Tokens that’ll unlock story scenes with the game’s various characters. Cyber Space portals are just the tip of the iceberg. The same can’t be said for Sonic Frontiers’ islands.
