When I look ahead to the upcoming games of this year, Sonic Frontiers hasn’t really been on my radar. With Sonic himself such an iconic figure in gaming I was obviously aware of it (plus, you know, it’s my job), but even as the biggest titles were delayed into next year thanks to our medium’s unsustainable business model, Sonic didn’t pique my interest. In recent years, he has become more famous for his movies and his fan art than he has games, which have frequently disappointed. Frontiers’ initial reveal didn’t excite much either, just showing Sonic running fast – what a twist! – and not much else. Yesterday’s gameplay teaser has turned it all around and folks, I think I might just be excited for a Sonic game.
