| I'm with you boys  I've definitely mucked about on Sonic 2 multiple times during the period the first God of War has been sat on my PS4 unplayed. |

| https://twitter.com/JuanAFons/status/1588277450227998720 I guess the secret's out: I was indeed the Creative Director for Sonic Frontiers. The whole game has leaked online but it's difficult to get a proper gauge for what folk think about it. The review embargo is up on the day it comes out, and that's almost always a bad sign. Being a 3D Sonic game is almost always a bad sign in all fairness. I've got it pre-ordered all the same. Anyone else? |

| I actually quite like the look of it. I kind of get the vibe it will be slated by certain parties for not delivering on something they made up in their heads, but for folks who just want to run fast and jump it will actually go down well. |

| I opted for the angry dad game in the end but I'm still well up for this, might be a post Christmas purchase I think. I managed to get some enjoyment out of 06 and unleashed and I'm sure it'll be better than those at least. |

| Sonic is the angsty teen game and has been since Adventure 2. |

...same. I'm not a Sonic boy and still probably won't get this, especially since reviews seem to have been divisive - but as somebody who thinks most of the games in the series look unworkable from my ivory tower, I think it looks alright! |

| I played this for a couple of hours last night, and while I'm not quite sure how everything works so far I'm decently impressed all the same! This has got a lot of potential. |

| I read that apparently whatever you think of the game, it's a bit duffer on Switch than it is elsewhere. A slight shame, albeit not an unexpected one. |

| There's no game yet that's convinced me more that it's time for a Switch Pro. Graphically it's extremely poor, and on handheld it's almost unspeakably bad. It would have looked very inadequate as a Wii U launch game, and I'm certain that stuff like Skyward Sword and Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii would stand up better technically. The pop-up is genuinely the all-time worst I can remember experiencing.
As for the non-visual aspects of the game, I honestly can't make my mind up about whether I truly like it or not. It certainly has lots of potential like I said, but it's maybe not fulfilled that potential this time around. |

| Think pop in on most of the versions but hearing how it does run why I went for the Series X version to be on the safeside. |

| I'm waiting to hear more, be it from Cappa or the podcasts I listen to, to decide if I want to play this. Cappa has convinced me that if I am playing it, though, it'll be on PS4. |
