Sonic Frontiers: Final Horizon is a free update with enough content and difficulty to be its own title, but lacks the polish to be as great as the original title.
Sonic Frontiers: Final Horizon is a free update that no one expected. At least, not before the announcement quite shortly after Frontiers’ release. Within the wake of Frontiers’ success came a rise of new hope, a resurgence of the Sonic formula that would take fans for a victory lap around well-trodden grounds in the Starfall Islands.
Amy’s puzzles are a delight, featuring pink platforms and heart-shaped boost rings. They all rely on her ability to triple jump and glide and are some of the most satisfying to complete. While Tails’ sections may rely on navigation in the air, Amy relies more on the timing of your jumps since you have little air time before you begin to glide down. It feels satisfying to climb as Knuckles, as many of his challenges feature corridors you need to climb through to reach the end strategically.
The major con to Tails’ moveset is his lack of a Homing Attack. This mechanic is as old as the series is, and Tails has always had it. As funny as the Wrench Toss is, going from Amy, Knuckles, and Sonic, who can all Homing Attack, to Tails, who cannot, is an adjustment that has cost me many platforming sections. The Homing Attack acts as a centering force that can often save you from falling off a high platform.
The Dragon Trial is a classic situation where you must beat many enemies within a time limit. No matter what difficulty you pick for a majority of these trials, the result is a hard-fought win. Comparatively, though, the Dragon Trial was nothing in comparison to the Snake Trial, which had just about every fan wishing the clock would slow down. With enough repetition, however, the Snake Trial is easier than what comes after all four trials are under your belt.
