It’s way more fun than it looks, trust me
The blue hedgehog is back!
He goes very fast in his latest instalment,Sonic Frontiers!
And lots of fans naturally think it looks terrible!
The scepticism is understandable.
Just seeing it with your eyeballs doesn’t do it justice.
Yes, it’s a weird departure for Sonic, but I am here for it.
Traditionally, Sonic games burst with colour and energy.
And there’s a lot of spiraling into the sky as you stumble into floating platforms and curly rails.
Still, green and grey did surprise more than bore.
Mainly because the fight wasn’t a straight duel to the death but a cleverly constructed platforming challenge too.
Another fight forced Sonic to think outside of the usual spins and kicks.
I bet it makes a great moisturiser too, like snail ooze.
Granted, the bigger bad was a bit janky.
He’s a fast hog, after all.
I’m just saying the game seems to be structured in a similar way.
And that’s helped by a bit of the demo I can’t talk about.
Stay tuned for my thoughts on that soon.
