What's up and welcome back to the kind of funny games cast of course I'm Tim Gettys and I'm joined by the future of video games blessing

Adi O.A. Junior. I swear to God the smoke machines get more aggressive as we go. That was a hard smoke right there.

It's a real hard smoke. We have a really special games cast today. We're doing our review of Sonic Frontiers. It is finally here.

The game of the year that we have all been waiting for and I thought you know what?

Bless was the only one that got to play it here at kind of funny. That is not enough. We need more people to talk about this game.

Is it good? Is it bad? Is it the greatest thing ever made?

So we reached out to our friend Mitchell Saltsman from IGN and he's joining us today. What's up Mitchell?

What's up everyone? How's it going? I'm saying that I'm not there to experience the fog in real time.

Yeah, but there's a smell to it. This is a pretty good you know almost not but not quite.

Yeah, exactly, exactly. Well thank you so much for joining us today. You played the played through Sonic Frontiers.

You were not reviewing it for IGN though right? Who's reviewing it for IGN over there?

It's going to be Travis Northup. He gave it a seven which I would I would largely agree with.

And yeah, I think I think we're pretty much on the same page on a lot of stuff with regards to Sonic Frontiers.

Awesome. Well, I want to get right into it. I want to get our thoughts on this game. Blessing. I want to start with you on the kind of funny scale of one to five.

What would you give Sonic Frontiers and tell me a little bit about why?

I'm giving Sonic Frontiers a three out of five. Right? Sonic Frontiers is not or Sonic Frontiers is a good video game.

It is not great. It's not amazing. It's not bad. I think it sits at that solid good place.

That said, I fucking love this fine good three out of five video game. Right? I think for me Sonic Frontiers is the most one I've had in a three-sonic game in probably over a decade probably since Sonic Generations.

And the big reason for that for me is the fact that this is a direction for Sonic that I think has been sorely needed.

I think taking Sonic and turning it into more of a collectathon open area open zone as they would say it's a platformer.

I think works so much in its favor and it's just it's very refreshing.

And that said, right? Even though it does, even though it has this shift for the franchise and I'd say is really great, even though it has a lot of direction that I'd say is really great.
