The combat is good. But the open world is shit. Feels like a game where they had a good foundation but didn't know what to use it for.
Might be a hot take, but it's a lot like Sonic Frontiers. Good idea, but terrible use of open world.
It was good imo. Magic system and combat were very good. World traversal is some of the best I've played. Writing can be lacking but there's a lot of humour in it. I've always said this'll be a days gone situation where people only appreciate it when it's given away 'free'. The hate mostly seems to be from people who haven't even played it
Totally agree with your comment. The gameplay was fun, the graphics are decent, the story is lacking but there is some humor. Most folks that were dissing the game didn't even play it.
I actually liked Forspoken and had fun all the way til the Platinum trophy was achieved.
I really liked it. Going in with low expectations, I was surprised to find a game I enjoyed. Traversal is a blast and I thought the combat was fun. The writing was a bit cringe in places, but I play games, it's a rare thing to get great writing and it didn't spoil it for me. I think plenty people will have more fun than they expect once they can try for free...but you need to get a couple of hours into it. If you can make it through that fud, your good!
There's a few in here I've wanted to try but not quite taken the plunge on.
I'm curious about Sonic, have wanted F.I.S.T. , Would try Coffee Talk and Phogs. Maybe even give WRC a try.
Pleased with this selection now.
forspoken haha.
but i might play it as long as its available.
ps2 classics are good.
Switch owners can take advantage of the latest SEGA / Atlus sale on the eShop for June 2024, which includes the lowest price ever for Sonic Frontiers. A bunch of other titles are also discounted.
So basically they took a massive gamble to get top marks and it still fell flat in places.
I mean it’s not Sonic 06 bad obviously but they’ve apparently put all their effort into it and it’s just getting 6-7 out of 10.
Open world Sonic is not what we needed or wanted
Just do Sonic Mania 2 jeez
I’ll play it if it goes on PS Premium but this is a no buy for me.
Back to 2D now please. Mania 2 next.
While it still looks “off” to me in terms of what I’d expect from a Sonic game, I’m not gonna lie, it kind of looks good from what I’ve seen in reviews.
Pretty good so far. About an hour in. Some stuff gets repetitive but it works pretty well.
