@jesse_dylan You are wrong. They ARE Zelda games. Every game in the series is valid.

@jesse_dylan "watered down"? "junks"?! Why I oughta!

@Emacster Are you gothic? Zelda doesn't need "horror" elements, it should appeal to all ages.

@Emacster I never take comments like this seriously.

@World Everything is new to someone, so I think it's best to just deal with nostalgia and callbacks.

@World You're forgetting one important thing: Everything is new to someone. Don't get upset because 'YOU are familiar with it, let someone else discover it.

@Borderlineland It IS a "true" Zelda game, what are you talking about?

@Borderlineland Of course we can!

The music of the World 5 boss battle in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze reminds me a lot of the 80s classic song Twilight Zone by Golden Earring.

@Dev9417 Here’s another Donkey Kong example I can think of: In Tropical Freeze, the Punch Bowl boss fight music sounds a lot like Twilight Zone by Golden Earring. Have a listen:

@CharlieGirl It’s really refreshing to see out of Peach, and also makes a lot of sense for this movie given how we live in the age of characters such as Merida, Moana, and Raya. Basically we have been getting princesses who are more independent and capable than ever before in animation.

@johnvboy No, not to me. Not to many other people, mostly people like you.

@NintendoJunkie I see greatness and fun gators in Sonic games that you don’t.

@victordamazio Is there a way how we can prove to Sonic Team that we DO want this sort of game to be improved and expanded on for years to come?

@NintendoJunkie I for one really enjoy the games and don’t see it in the same light as you do.

@NintendoByNature Don’t feel regret getting this game for him. Trust me, he’ll really like this game.

@BabyYoda71 I wasn’t really “attacking” but if I did, it was out of instinct or force of habit. I am autistic after all.

@UsurperKing Thanks UK! I just feel more inclined to be more defensive about Sonic more than ever as the IDW comics, the live-action movies and the upcoming animated series Sonic Prime have helped solidified Sonic’s place as a legitimate pop culture icon again and not just an IP for the internet to make fun of. The more people who I see love Sonic genuinely the more comfortable I feel.

@BabyYoda71 Different opinions I don’t mind, but with some of my favorite things like Sonic, DC, Marvel, Harry Potter, Nintendo, Star Wars, etc, I always worry that any bad review would mean people would not like them anymore, and I want to ensure that people still like them so that I don’t feel alone when express that I’m a huge fan.

@NinjaNicky No, I’m telling you, it’s NOT A BAD GAME. NOT AT ALL.

@LEGEND_MARIOID No, you are not wrong, This game IS VERY GOOD. They DID learn, it IS fun to play! It DOES have the effort put into it! Why do you guys keep saying stuff like that?

@NintendoJunkie Are you saying we can no longer be Sonic fans?! I want this series to continue to be successful and loved! PLEASE don’t leave, please don’t hate the games, please let the series go on!

@NoLife DON’T skip this one. Ollie doesn’t really see what everyone else sees in this game.

@Nua The thing is with Sonic Frontiers, you KNOW the combo moves and special attacks. Every time you upgrade Sonic, it takes you to a training room where you can try out and get accustomed to the special attacks. IMO it’s not “button mashing” because you know the imputs, especially as you get used to them throughout the game.

@Snatcher That’s one of the biggest things I love about Frontiers, is that it’s a game where you can take your time.
I see tremendous appeal in sandbox games where there is an objective, but you don’t have to go do that objectively immediately. You can choose to just explore and collect and interact. That’s something I think those accustomed to Sonic games have to get used to to see what this game goes for.

@Shredderlovespizza “No good Sonic games?” Dude, I’m deeply offended.

@ScribbleDot No, don’t be discouraged by what this guy says, play the game and have a blast. It’s not low standards, not at all. It’s just that this guy is super harsh.

@aromain150 I don’t get the whole “button-mashing” thing as a buzzword for combat people don’t like. Isn’t the idea of fighting enemies tapping the button several times commonplace in games? What is the satisfactory alternative?!

@Pillowpants Don’t let this guy convince you to stay away from the 3D games. Give this one a chance.

@veesonic No sense of direction? Dude, there’s a MAP that you can access at any time and it gets more revealed the more you complete the puzzles on those markers! And what’s more, you can PIN locations on the map and there’s a beam of light showing you where to go.

@veesonic I’m quite the opposite my friend, I LOVE open-world games and this game is perfect for players like me.

@Olliemar28 Sorry Ollie, I just think you were way, WAY too harsh on this game.

@somnambulance @somnambulance Yes, indeed.

@Olliemar28 I’ve had no problems with controlling Sonic, he responds super well to my inputs.

The only real complaint I have about Sonic Frontiers is the Titans bosses I found to be quite difficult. The Ares Island one you have to REALLY time your parrys or else you’ll be knocked back and lose time. Other than that, I love this game and think it’s a great step forward for future games.

@smithyo No. i think this is a GREAT direction for the franchise.

@MythTgr No, NO!! I will not handle comments such as this! Please stop discouraging people from being Sonic fans.

@MatoFilipovic I am! I was really hoping this site would break out of the “3D Sonic games getting negative reception” thing and really enjoy this game for what it is, but apparently not. It really bothers me.

I’m very disappointed in you Nintendo Life. I really love this game.

@Switch_Pro Thats not true in my opinion.

@scully1888 I guess at the end of the day, we’re all entitled to our opinions and our video game playing experiences are all different.

@Waluigi451 I love the second game, but does it have Jimmy Neutron, Garfield, Jenny, water sections, bikes or the customization system? I don’t think so.

@BlackenedHalo IMO this game isn’t awful, not in the slightest. Sure it’s not perfect but it’s fine.

@scully1888 Chris, I completely understand if this game wasn’t your cup of tea, but do you at least appreciate the amount of love and passion for the Nickelodeon series that’s represented in this game? I love all the customization options and hearing the voices of characters we’ve known and loved since our childhoods is very satisfying.

@scully1888 Chris, my most sincere apologies for all these replies and all the spamming. I’m a big fan of kart racers and a lifelong fan of all the series represented in this game (even Garfield). Thank you for not minding that I really like this game, and didn’t let it’s issue take away how much fun I had. Other big factors in why I’m so defensive is that
1. This game is on other systems like the PS5, Xbox systems and Steam where it’s sure to run better.
2. They announced future patches and updates to fix some of the framerate issues, so I can tell this game is being supported.
3. The slime shortcuts DO have “!” marks to let you know when to jump over gaps.

@Snatcher I really don't understand the hate for Jojo Siwa being in the game when she doesn't even speak here.

@scully1888 I think you were really harsh on this game. This game is really fun and feels like a nice upgrade over the first two. I can't take a review of a crossover game of IPs that I absolutely love seriously when you say that someone like Garfield "should be patched out". Also, JOJO DOESN'T SPEAK IN THIS GAME, SO WHY IS THAT A CON? Sorry for my defensiveness Chris, I just think you should have given this game a rating higher than 5/10.
