The unfortunate Sonic was unlucky for a very long time. Numerous experiments with the series usually ended in failure and loud disappointment of fans.
In recent years, all the bright moments in the life of Sega's blue mascot have been associated with the reissue of classic games or the release of Hollywood film adaptations.
And now, five years after the premiere of Sonic Forces, Sonic Team Studio released Sonic Frontiers in a trendy open-world setting with interspersed fast three-dimensional stages.
However, after reconstructing the virtual universe and general mechanics, the authors could not cope with the plot narrative.
According to the scenario idea, Sonic, Amy and Tails crashed on the Island of Starfall after Eggman launched an interdimensional accelerator and opened a passage into the digital dimension.
So Sonic's friends and the mustachioed villain himself are stuck between worlds. Now the speedy hedgehog must find the Chaos Emeralds and defeat the giant bosses in his ultimate golden form.
In parallel, you will be told a story about love, betrayal and thermonuclear war. And such a mixture seems very strange.
The “clown” Eggman, Sonic's cartoon friends and the search for hearts with rings do not go well with the developers' attempts to convey the drama.
In the main part of the game with segments of the open world, Sonic travels to five islands, collects rings, coins, local lost inhabitants and special items important for each of the friends imprisoned in the hologram.
In the case of Amy, they are hearts, and with Knuckles, they are fire medals.
Solving simple puzzles and performing dizzying stunts, you get extra points, keys for portals and a variety of seeds needed to upgrade the armor and strength of the character.
Due to the large number of currencies, the game seems heavy.
In addition to improving basic characteristics in exchange for seeds, you can buy special techniques that simplify battles, as well as balance the hero by increasing the number of rings collected or the speed of movement.
The second part of the gameplay is traveling through high–speed portal levels, where you need to complete the stage as quickly as possible, collecting red stars and keeping the minimum number of rings.
Depending on your success, you will be rewarded with a certain set of keys needed to open the next Chaos Emerald.
When all the emeralds on the island are collected, Sonic will receive a golden form, for which the rings earned during the stages serve as fuel.
It is in this form that he must defeat one of the giants and lords of the island.
In open areas, the authors allow you to fight mini-bosses, perform tricks, strengthen the hero and follow the main plot.
The rings themselves are both assembled and literally extracted from the ground by drawing the right shapes.
With a full set, in addition to the chance of survival, the hero gets maximum acceleration, which is important for fights with strong enemies.
Linear levels of cyberspace are made in the classic style of “Green Hills". Some of them evoke nostalgia and fit perfectly into the new three-dimensional reality thanks to tricks and speed.
