Cyber Monday is a marketing term for the Monday after Thanksgiving, when retailers roll out their online sales. It's basically an extension of Black Friday, and Black Friday 2022 was pretty great for deals, actually. The Black Friday Nintendo Switch deal returned once again, giving you a free copy of Mario Kart 8 and 3-months Nintendo Online, but we've also seen exciting new deals like price cuts on Sonic Frontiers. Those Sonic Frontier deals have now extended into Cyber Monday.
Our Sonic Frontiers review scored it a "7," which I think is perfectly reasonable. Yet in spite of its flaws, I honestly love this game? I didn't think I was going to enjoy it very much going in. I'm not a Sonic-guy. I respect Sonic and love the Genesis entries, but beyond that I don't have much attachment or love for the series. But I decided to give Frontiers a chance and I am not joking when I say it's on my short-list for game of the year. Yeah, it has issues, but I'm having so much fun with it, I'm willing to look past its shortcomings. And the soundtrack is unbelievable. Seriously, how is this game not nominated for best soundtrack at this year's Keighley awards? A crime, really.
