How Did Sonic Frontiers Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2022?
There are a lot of games coming out between now and the end of the year. A colossal, insurmountable amount, although if you want to attempt it our Features Editor Eric Switzer has put together a list of the 20 biggest games still to launch this year, as well as how much time you'll need to set aside for them. The short answer? Way too long. Games are too big and there are too many of them. After drifting along for most of the year, 2022's gaming calendar is about to burst into life. So why is Sonic Frontiers my most anticipated game?
Look, I promise this isn't a bit. I'm as surprised as you are. I don't care for Sonic all that much, neither of the movies did it for me, and the last time I really enjoyed a Sonic game was probably Adventure. Mania was decent, of course, but like I say, I don't care for Sonic, so a love letter to classic Sonic isn't exactly a GOTY contender for me. But a strange mix of hype, criticism, and other games fumbling has made Sonic shoot to the top of my list.

As we've seen more from the game, more and more people have gotten on board, but I've been here since jump. Or rather, sprint.
