very cute game, many cute cats, 10/10

This is a fantastic game and I wholly recommend it. Sonic makes a great transition to open world style gameplay here, and for me it's the good parts of the Adventure games but with even more to do. The RPG mechanics are simple but allow for clever and satisfying combat, the islands are a treat to explore, and the story is engaging. This is a must for any Sonic fan-- it's been a long time since Sonic characters have been treated with the respect they have here in-game.

STORY

I'll keep it spoiler-free. The story is centered around the Chaos Emeralds and this abandoned civilization that possibly even predated the Echidna tribe. The story's tone is akin to the Adventure games and heavily references them as well, but there are call backs to all sorts of other games too, and you can tell that this game serves to straighten out the canon. With respect to the seriousness too, the game is also not afraid to get silly and the times it does are pleasant and fun surprises.

All the characters have a chance to shine and it's a joy to watch their interactions with one another. There's also more depth given to Eggman and his relationship with his creations, which I felt added a lot too (and will likely continue thematically in future games). The mystery of the story itself I found to be engaging and I thought it was all well written.

This is major copium but the game itself felt like they were laying down the groundwork for a lot of future story and gameplay elements (like the frequently requested Chao Gardens). While none of that has paid off yet, I still think this game does a lot well and stands very well on its own. This is the first time in a long time where I've beaten a game and I'm excited to see the next one come out.

GAMEPLAY

Sonic is placed in open zones, which are huge islands consisting of different terrain. The rails and springs and all that good stuff seem random at first, but as you play more you see how it all fits together and flows from one location to the next. Sonic feels great to control and he can be very, very fast. The combat is simple at first, but gets more and more complex as you unlock more skills and they feel satisfying to master. The combat is genuinely fun, and it shines the most when fighting guardians (mini-bosses) and titans (the huge boss when completing each island).

Sonic doesn't control as well in the cyber space stages, but these stages are pretty short, easy to master, and are good breaks from the open world exploration. The 3D stages are the most fun and put your skills to the test to get that coveted S rank, too.

If there is any gameplay element you don't like or find too grindy or difficult, then my man Big the Cat has got your back. There is a fishing zone on each island, and the fishing mini-game is fun, relaxing, and VERY rewarding. Catching fish gives you currency that you can trade with Big in exchange for pretty much anything in the game other than Chaos Emeralds themselves. Big is your best friend in 100%ing the game and you can also get a full fishing encyclopedia. Also, you can buy lore!

Final note: I beat this game on Hard, and it was, well, hard sometimes, but coming from someone who never plays hard mode in games, it was extremely enjoyable. There is not a different ending on the difficulties, but the final battles in the game are different, so I recommend playing it on Hard or switching it in the final battle.

MUSIC

It goes HARD. Sonic games always have slapping music and this is NO EXCEPTION. From somber piano, to upbeat EDM, to dubstep, to "lo-fi beats to relax and fish to", to HARD METAL this game has it all and it does it SO well. This might be my favorite OST in any Sonic game which is saying a lot because I am a GIANT fan of Sonic OSTs.

DOWNSIDES

I don't have many negatives. The biggest one for me is that the layout for the cyber space stages are tired and overdone at this point-- I'm sick of seeing Green Hill Zone aesthetics and i'm sick of the formula that Generations introduced with nostalgia in mind. That being said, I never felt like I was getting nostalgia baited and the callbacks in the game are done well.

People have been complaining about pop-ins and like, yeah, that happens, but the only island where I noticed this and had it affect me was on the third island. Otherwise, it didn't bug me and I hardly noticed while playing.

There are a few times where I'd go zipping off a large enemy or I'd get frustrated with climbing, but this didn't happen enough to hamper my experience overall.

OVERALL

Please support this game if anything I said here sounds like a good time to you. Sonic Team is on the right track with this one and I hope they can make even bigger and better projects down the line too. I loved this game and if it had a Chao Garden it would've annihilated Sonic Adventure 2 as my favorite Sonic game, but this is still pretty high up there. Give Sonic Frontiers a chance!

find the right people to play with and it's a fantastic time and you'll never get bored. love the updates that have been added to the game and i appreciate that i can play this game and have a great time even with bad internet/high ping

i've never played in public lobbies so i can't comment on the experience there, but i recommend playing it in open spaces with others like discord communities

i like to support games and i don't necessarily mind spending to give support, but this was a regretful purchase. keeping the game paid after early access (which already has microtransactions) and just making more ways to make money (this is not a small indie project) is a punch in the balls and i'm unlikely to support anything directly disney or gameloft in the future

This is a very fun m..monlike? (What do we call these? I'm gonna call it a monlike game) that was clearly treated with a lot of love in its creation and isn't something you can write off as a Pokemon fan game. The pixel art is charming, the coromon themselves are unique and interesting, and the gameplay is very fun and I would say pretty challenging too. I've only played Standard mode, but you can do Nuzlocke and there are a lot of customizable options. The story itself is nice with some pleasant surprises on the way, and plenty of dialogue is cute or funny.

I'm a big fan of their 'potential' system which is similar to shiny pokemon, but the colors are tied to the coromon's stats, so you're encouraged to hunt for coromon with higher potential (which will have a 'potent' color or a 'perfect' color). While that means normal coromon don't have as great stats, I have to say that hunting for high stat coromon is pretty fun and getting good coromon is frequent enough to feel rewarding without detracting from the challenge or effort. It feels like they thought of everything to make the challenge as fun as possible.

But oh boy is there challenge. You cannot brute force your way through this game-- you have to work on your team. The bosses are tough and the roadblocks can really get you at your vulnerable moments. The achievements also reflect some hard bits of the game, so be aware that you'll have to play on insane difficulty if you're interested in 100%ing this title.

So, in a nutshell, if you want a monlike game with good QOL features and plenty of challenge wrapped up in lots of charm then look no further.

So, this was one of my dad's favorite games before he passed, and I always loved watching him play but it was harder for me to get into it personally. Out of a random impulse to admire underwater creatures, I gave this game a shot again and something clicked in my brain, and I understood why he replayed this game so much. The exploration in this game is unmatched and the progression you make through both survival and the story are so satisfying. The highlight of this game to me is the research, where you can scan all the flora and fauna in the game, so that was my biggest driving point in discovering more and playing further.

There is no other game that can just match how beautiful and interesting an alien world can be and I'm a big fan of how the story is woven through simply surviving and exploring-- and I'm an even bigger fan of how the game gives you lore through research and putting together clues. You really do become attached to the world by the end of the game, so saying goodbye can be pretty hard.

I know it's a bit silly, but the anxiety about reaper leviathans (the other hostile leviathans are honestly fine) kept me from getting into the game before, because I felt like I couldn't explore without posing a huge risk to what I've built up. While they still stand to be the one creature I just CANNOT scan for some reason (I've tried), there are helpful maps outside the game that show the reaper spawns and that brought me a lot more joy in navigating through the biomes. If you find yourself having trouble getting into the game like I did, I think maps could help because there is a lot to explore, and having a vague direction of where to go can bring a lot of that wonder back.

came for the memes, stayed for the well written drama

Littlewood is a very charming and fun farming-style game where you play as a hero after they're done doing all their hero-ing. Your actions pass time rather than time passing on its own, so at first you feel like you can't do much in a day, but as you progress, you'll have all the time in the world. The progression system is pretty fun and all the villagers are cute. There's a lot of lighthearted and funny dialogue, and ultimately I enjoyed my time.

I 100% this game and it was a bit grindy, albeit a few things were my own fault (like not prioritizing flower breeding and taking forever to actually add town wishes) but none of it was difficult to do and I found it fun to 100% while watching videos since the game itself is not super busy.

The end-game items you get make getting your other achievements much easier which I like, though there were a few things that were pretty much useless by the time I got them. Ultimately though, I think the game is well balanced and I definitely think anyone looking for a relaxing game should go for it.

Very cute game, lots of fun secrets, and has a lot of interesting world lore that I didn't really expect going in. I think it's a bit pricy for the time I played it but there is an endless game mode that would lengthen that time for a lot of people, and it's also full of so much charm so I do think it's worth getting just for that. 10/10 would evade taxes again

i decided to play this game because i heard this game gets existential and i thought it would be a good experience for me to have while there is an impending death in my family.

i was right. this is not only a good game, it's an important game. i'm glad i could experience it, even when it challenged me to do things i didn't want to do. sometimes it's hard to do the right thing, but it's worth it in the end.

edit: the last absolute truth and the secret absolute truth both made me ugly cry in my living room
