Patch Notes New Sonic Frontiers Patch Makes Easy Mode Easier, Adjusts Knuckles Glide, And More

[Miles Storzillo]

By the way, the Perfect Parry on Easy?  It lasts for a whole 10 seconds.  At least.  Yeah, and combine that with Easy giving you 600 rings instead of 400 along with having some strength upgrades to increase your damage output and the Master King trial is no issue anymore.  Wyvern still sucks on Hard though from my experience.

oh, I actually really liked the difficulty spike.

Well, glad to see they still listen, even after the final DLC update. Also cool to finally see knuckles in a solid playable state, his glide sucked hard.

While the update is too late to help me, since I already beat the FH. I'm glad to see it and the dedication. Games Cage (the guy who did the Sonic AMV contest) tested out the perfect parry on Hard and it does seemed to be fixed there too. (lasts a full second) While it won't be anytime soon, Frontiers will be one of the games I replay now and then.

The guardians are still not fully balanced, yeah, they are doable now even if you are level 1 with the other characters, but they still have those ridiculously tough attacks, it's just the health bar that is not a problem anymore. They are okay now.

[ManiaMadnez]

All that brain rot, weeks spent trying to defeat Snake and Master King's trials, for an update to make it easier...

It's all good though, now that this update is out, it means that I can play Final Horizons over and over again without worrying about that difficulty anymore. Now I can say I finished Final Horizons before the "Easy" update!

You're welcome, I do recommend his video on Youtube for the full context (THEY PATCHED SONIC FRONTIERS FINAL HORIZON is the title) he goes through each character and generally notes that they play much better now, before doing the trial again if you want to skip to that part.

Given that I've still yet to even touch the Final Horizons story (still on Ares Island on PC and I'm not looking forward to what comes next), these updates probably won't be much of a game-changer to me, but hopefully it means I'll have a good time whenever I do reach the final island.

It seems something might’ve gotten thrown off with the Guardian health. Sam Procrastinates just showed that Guardian health, at least for the trio, is the same on Easy and Hard…7 wrenches from Tails for Spider+ on both difficulties. 

[Sonic Blast]

Yay, I can now beat this on my limited time. XD

[DaddlerTheDalek]

I was hoping for another update.

[Danj86]

I just saw a video which confirms that during the Knight fight of the King Trail, the game will now teach you how to change targets too. That's a fantastic addition as it was a crucial aspect of the final fight. And you can also get past it's shield, that's a neat thing I never knew too.

Can't believe I 100%ed it on Masochist Mode only for them to fix it ahahah.

[Failinhearts]

Oh, finally a viable Knuckles. This thankfully fixes a lot of my issues with Update 3.

...does this mean i have to rewrite my review on youtube now, shat...
