Sonic Dream Team - Another Fresh Spin
HWM Singapore|January 2024
Apple Arcade's new exclusive, Sonic Dream Team, with just a dozen levels and a simple control scheme - a D-pad and two buttons - might initially seem modest.
Sonic Dream Team - Another Fresh Spin

However, it's in this simplicity and exclusivity where Sonic Dream Team finds its strength, offering a fresh and engaging experience that challenges preconceptions about mobile gaming.

The game's narrative begins with the antagonist, Dr. Eggman, stumbling upon a device capable of turning dreams into reality. This development spells potential disaster, propelling Sonic and his allies into action across four creatively imagined dream worlds. Despite the game's relatively short duration, where I achieved 100% completion in around five or six hours, it doesn't skimp on content. Each level is densely packed with detail and excitement, often surpassing what one might find in larger, more sprawling titles.

Visually, Sonic Dream Team is a feast for the eyes. Each of the four worlds boasts a unique aesthetic, from the sun-kissed, inflatable-dotted landscapes of Scrambled Shores to the mechanical hazards of the Dream Factory, replete with conveyor belts and lava pits. The standout is undoubtedly the Nightmare Maze, a kaleidoscope of colours and gravity-defying paths that pay homage to M.C. Escher's mind-bending art.
