About this game
Sonic Frontiers - Definitive Edition sends Sonic across the Starfall Islands in search of his separated friends. Run through open areas, investigate mechanisms in ancient ruins and solve puzzles to uncover routes. Enemies interrupt that exploration, bringing Sonic's speed into combo-based battles. Cyber Space offers a different structure: separate high-speed stages built around traversal mechanisms, with difficult missions for players seeking further challenges. This edition includes the Sonic Frontiers base game, The Final Horizon story campaign, and the Sights, Sounds, and Speed and Sonic's Birthday Bash updates. Its recurring activities combine choosing where to explore, solving obstacles and tackling more directed action stages.
Collected in series
Sonic the Hedgehog is SEGA’s action franchise starring its speedy blue hero. Running, jumping and learning the terrain connect adventures that range from side-scrolling courses to 3D stages and open islands, with different entries giving speed and exploration their own balance.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Best suited to Sonic fans who welcome exploration and puzzle solving alongside directed speed stages.
The switch between island routes and Cyber Space suggests two different ways to enjoy movement: choosing a destination and mastering a prescribed course. Combat adds another demand, so the fit depends on enjoying changes of activity.
Strengths
- Island exploration and separate Cyber Space stages offer contrasting uses for Sonic's movement.
- Including The Final Horizon places its additional story campaign within the same edition.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking uninterrupted speed stages may find the intervening puzzles and battles less appealing.
Who it is for: Players interested in route discovery, action combat and focused traversal challenges within one adventure.
Play notes: Install the included Explorer's Treasure Box before starting the main game; installing it afterward leaves some items unapplied.
