Sonic Frontiersis the new craze in the platform genre.
The high-speed adventure featuring Sonic the Hedgehog will get you lost in the enormous open zone for hours.
With only 40-50 hours of gameplay, your gaming appetite will definitely be calling out for more.
Worry not; we’ve got you.
There are plenty of games like Sonic Frontiers to explore.
In this list, we’ve sampled the best action-packed and thrilling games to compensate forSonic Frontiers’somewhat disappointing gameplay.
If massive open environments are your thing, here are the best games to try.
As usual, you play as Mario and traverse the kingdoms aboard the Odyssey airship.
To do so, you might fling his cap at any character and take possession of them.
This ability feels like a natural fit since previous titles in theMariofranchise have had him in various roles.
From a cart racer, pro golfer, time traveler, and now a cap-flinging shapeshifter.
Developed by Moon Studios, the game features a beautiful, hand-painted art style and a sweeping score.
The core gameplay of Ori and the Will of the Wisps revolves around platforming and combat.
You must use Ori’s agility to navigate the environment, avoiding traps and enemies.
When encountering enemies, you could use a variety of Spirit Edge attacks to defeat them.
The game also features a variety of puzzles that must be solved to progress.
If you enjoyed playingSonic Frontiers,this pick would take your excitement to a new level.
Set in the Kingdom of Hyrule, you dive into an open-world adventure playing as Link.
Traverse through forests and scale mountain peaks in a quest to discover the mystery behind the kingdom’s ruins.
The most enticing part of the game is its distinct physics engine that the developers, Nintendo, use.
Instead of a single-form solution to challenges you encounter, you get the freedom to devise new techniques.
Also, wielding metal during a thunderstorm makes you highly susceptible to thunderstrikes.
If you’re not exploring, there are a ton of quests to undertake.
Completing these challenges will unlock a chest of rewards.
For instance, when you activate a shrine or tower, it automatically adds it to your map.
However, the name’s locations will only appear once you visit the location.
Each location bears a unique trait.
Some are warm, and others are outrageously cold.
You should equip your character with suitable gear before venturing out.
It’s only possible to dish out some details in this game.
