9/10. A fun game that isn't perfect, but is very close. It's good to see Sonic actually doing something fresh and new for once.

I thought of a game idea that is Sonic Adventure 3, because the action stages are like the adventure stages, but the open worlds are as important. My idea was that the playable characters are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, and a new character (I had an idea for this being Sonic's sister, but she was just an OC and hardly anything more). It would show more of the history of Cyberspace and would also connect to echidna lore from SA1 and SA2.

@P-Man In almost every interview, Iizuka has said that Frontiers is the beginning of a new era, but I like thinking of it as more of a transitional phase. In that case, hopefully the next game can fully bring Sonic to the next level.

@Banjo- Definitely not a reboot. In fact, it's the most "sequel" Sonic game yet, since there were more callbacks than ever before. Some of them were even shown.
EDIT: I agree with you about the "more Sonic" part, but I would like a similar tone to Frontiers. The world should be like that of Sonic Adventure, since the next game will probably show more of the world unlike Frontiers.

I also think that the next game should balance action stages and open worlds. Instead of making there Cyberspace stages that are hard to find, you should have to get to stages to further progress through the story.

@Kermit1 why not just make Tails playable instead?

There is a lot of things that could work for the next game, but one thing that definitely wouldn't work is another solo Sonic game. Sonic Frontiers was an exception because it showed Sonic's friends evolving into better-written characters and becoming their original selves again, but since that process is completed, at least Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy need to be playable.
