C'était court... mais c'était incroyable !
Les fans de X-Files s'y retrouveront dans l'ambiance et le storytelling.

Ce jeu est une pépite et il faut une suite !

Yes it lacks optimization, I suspect memory leak even BUT what a ride!!!
This needs to be played just for the story, decors and the way devs played with the camera :D
Pros:
- Immersive
- Storyline
- Characters
- Music
- Decors (Fabulous!)

Cons:
- Lacks optimization
- Too short
- Would have like to get some choice system

I don't usually trash talk about games I play, but this one is deserved, trust me.
I was thinking that all the fuss and prediction around Sonic Frontiers being the worst episode ever was a bit over dramatic.
Let me tell you: the legend is true. This game is a pile of bugs and bad decisions.

The fact that it can be released with so many bugs just in the game menu just tells how bumpy the road must had been for the development and what to expect when in game. Crashes when just scrolling through options, no way to adjust resolution because it crashes probably just before the setting... hell I don't know, I never get that far, full screen not working, image blurry...

But I'm a nice person and we are all humans after all so mistakes can happen so I continue to the game itself.

And I mean.... what the ...?

Nothing makes sense in this game.
So, you think you can roam into the freshly discovered new land ? Bcause this is what open world is?
Naaaah. Not for Sega. For Sega open world is just a big stage selection, where you can't even go wherever you want.

Usually when such limitation happens in open worlds it's mixed within the story so well that I easily accept it, because it makes sense

Here I'm just blocked by a broken bridge with no way to work around it except for clearing the level stage that is 20 feet before.
Again, I won't talk about the story because... *sigh* I mean, I bet someone out there will compile all the ingame cinematics but jesus... even movies are better.
Sega is trying so hard to surf on the Zelda wave except they all got it wrong. I mean, if you try to get close to that vibe (open world and stuff) you got to have the story to back it up and make it coherent with your gameplay decisions.
What seemed to happen here? Take trendy game style/design etc etc, mix it all together and VOILA : Sonic Frontiers.

In the end, we have a story that it's just a poor excuse for a game background, gameplay that doesn't match what was announced and more bugs than I can count.

TL;DR; It's really expensive for a pre-alpha.
Keep your money.

Beautiful game. Learn to say goodbye, help through grief through so much tenderness. Perfect <3

Great game. It would be greater with multiplayer.
I could write this in caps. Multiplayer. This is the one feature you need.

Clairement le jeu de l'année. Le gameplay se renouvelle sans arrêt. Tout est vraiment bien pensé pour jouer à deux. Les références sont multiples avec la petite touche d'humour qu'il faut. Le mélange est savoureux, on en redemande!

J'avais de grands espoirs en Early Access pour ce jeu. Le concept me plaisait bien, seul dans une station spatiale, à subir les dégâs psychologiques de la solitude tout en organisant sa survie jour après jour.

Après quelques tranches de rire, on sent que l'atmosphère se fait plus oppressante.
Et au final... rien.
La déception m'en amène à écrire cette review. On vous laisse miroiter un super scénario et on a clairement l'impression que le créateur a complètement laissé tomber son projet. Un peu comme un film sans générique de fin.
C'est tellement dommage, il y avait des dizaines de choses à exploiter, les idées étaient brillantes.

Merci à la communauté de continuer à faire vivre ce titre exceptionnel. Fan de la première heure, je ne suis absolument pas déçue de ce premier chapitre. Tout y est. Le mystère, le nombre incroyable de possibilités, toujours cette intrigue qui continue de me fasciner, l'humour (pas de spoilers là dessus, mais la séquence de test mérite une médaille)

Vivement le prochain livre !
