It was the same thing with Sonic Colors and Lost World back in the day. Get over it. If you really want to play the game, just buy some Apple product. Or wait until the exclusivity deal ends and they port the game to other devices. Although it may take sevareal years until that happens.
"Honey Wake up, they just released Sonic Lost World 2." "And that game was a snore" "It's got open ended design and 3D Mario objectives" "Oh that's cool, is it on Switch?" "No, it's an Apple Arcade exclusive" "..." "Babe?"
Having all the other characters have modern boost mechanics along with homing attack and their unique movement (tails flying, knuckles gliding) is perfect and needs to be brought to future modern sonic games.
This has always been the case... but it's worse here. Pretty much only three game play style types, and they all feel the same unlike what Frontiers did.
I can't believe this is an Apple Arcade game and included with the service. Fortunately I own Apple device so I can play but I hope it at least comes to Steam and Nintendo Switch in the future.
everyone can since Sonic heroes, even omega has homing attack, the true innovation here is that this game along with frontiers standarized Sonic's Moveset into everyone (Unleashed-forces damaging boost gameplay style)
It's definitely something I would try if it wasn't Apple exclusive, but it's nothing mind-blowing. The level design seems decent but it's not the strongest I've seen. It's nice to see them trying something new though! It's definitely the most open Sonic game they've made (Not counting the open zones from Frontiers). I feel like Sonic could do with being a little faster, but the other characters seem pretty spot on !
Getting some major Lost Worlds vibes. I hope it's not indefinitely exclusive. It looks like a game I've been wanting for years in the official Sonic universe!
You know the game is good, but Sonic Team doesn't make an effort, it would be great if each character did something different in different faces. Here all the characters do exactly the same thing looking for some keys, wasting the innate abilities of each one.
Honestly, it is the best 3D Sonic game in history, the other playable characters are fast and it reminds me of Sonic Advance, the mix of platform and speed combines very well . A Port to Switch with Blaze the cat 🙏🏻
I understand why the levels are so wide, but it just feels so empty, like even more so than Frontiers. They're on the right track here with the actual controls and less automation, but gotta make it a little tighter.
Speak for yourself. The openness of the game is imo what makes it stand out and there are lots of obstacles in every which way so j don’t really get how it could feel empty to me at least
I've realised that Sonic fans whonask for more open levels aren't being honest, they just want stages exactly like SA1 which is basically what you've described. It's like were chasing this ideal that was never even perfect to begin with.
@4theconz09 I'm talking about at 0:33 as an example. I mean sure there's stuff there, but there's a lot of just running straight without much going on. In Frontiers they would've fit a couple of platforming challenges within that space. It's not exactly a problem, just an observation
@@AYTM1200Yes, you're right, because SA1 levels had the perfect balance between player choice, exploration, and allowed for a lot of shortcuts and stuff still. SA1 itself isn't perfect, but the way the levels are designed is how I most enjoy 3D Sonic
The sound effects seem too loud. Hope there’s an option to toggle them. Beyond that, looks great! Keep in mind that Apple Arcade titles can be played on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. People are acting like playing it is somehow super limited, it’s really not.
It is quite limiting when you consider most sonic fans play sonic games on their games consoles and have done (since forever) So when you have a game like this which mimics gameplay from those console titles whilst only being available on apple devices you can imagine the upset. With how most game engines are these days I'd imagine that it would probably be more profitable to port this to switch and let people buy it rather than go through the apple arcade subscription. No doubt there are some apple shenanigans at foot here and people have the right to be upset that they now have to buy a non-gaming apple product in order to play this game. Given your comment I'd imagine you already own one of these devices and don't see the problem - but then again you're probably also content with playing games on your phone / tablet, whereas not everyone wants to game on devices with virtual buttons...
Doesn't look too bad. It's very zoomed out compared to other sonic games and idk if y'all notice but the audio is awful. It sounds like they just slapped sound effects in the game without any mastering or level control.
@@reubenax That’s why I said Roll as well. I can do without the Spin Dash but it’s a missed opportunity that this game has hills and slopes and they don’t have any function outside the half pipes
@@AYTM1200 Well then all the slopes and some of the ramps besides the half pipes are basically useless. I love the Boost formula but one downside of it is the level geography has less of a focus, all of the slopes or hills are just aesthetic since you can’t roll down them and they don’t affect your speed, at least from what I remember. Like look at @5:40, that would have been a cool opportunity to roll for example
Some of the sound effects are terrible. Especially that chopping sound that constantly happens whenever they jump. It’s so frustrating and disproportionately loud compared to all the other sounds. Got old very quickly
I love that Rouge and Cream are finally playable, Rouge hasn't been playable in 17 years, but for Cream it's even longer.
Gameplay videos on TH-cam are the only way most people will get to experience this game.
Apple tv
TH-cam videos on TH-cam are the only way most people will get to experience this TH-cam video.
@@ApexAgesCAyep I don't have a iphone or pad anymore but still got my TV and I'm getting this game ASAP lol

This game has some amazing quality! Deserves a porting to consoles later in life!
>Makes the most Adventure/Heroes looking game they've made in years
>Puts in on mobile
I swear Sega makes some baffling decisions
Apple funded it
Eventually it will come to consoles.
It was likely Apple’s decision tho, not Sega’s.
Gameplay looks so good! I wish that this game would be released on other platforms.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go on Google find an apk
"Honey Wake up, they just released Sonic Lost World 2."
"And that game was a snore"
"It's got open ended design and 3D Mario objectives"
"Oh that's cool, is it on Switch?"
"No, it's an Apple Arcade exclusive"
"..."
"Babe?"
"*Dies from apple arcade exclusive*"
Oh God, this better not be Lost World 2
There is a LITTLE bit if an over reliance of grind rails, but the platforming and level design is so good that it almost doesn't matter
Have that same energy for Frontiers. Sonic is literally grinding on the cover art. 😂
You know what's worse than a game I want to play being exclusive to a platform I don't have?
A game being exclusive to a platform I can't afford.
Having all the other characters have modern boost mechanics along with homing attack and their unique movement (tails flying, knuckles gliding) is perfect and needs to be brought to future modern sonic games.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This has always been the case... but it's worse here. Pretty much only three game play style types, and they all feel the same unlike what Frontiers did.
The freedom feels like a mixture of Adventures, Lost World, and Frontiers all mixed together very well.
Would've been nice if this game was on console rather than being soley exclusive to apple arcade
The Music, the aesthic, the animations, everything is top notch
The jumping sfx seems pretty loud here but yeah everything is solid here.
Me at the announcement: "lol imagine if this ended up being one of the best games in the series"
Me now: "did i just jinx it?"
I like how for half of Cream's showcase, whoever was playing was just using Amy. :V
Sonic is... SONIC-ing again !!!???
MOBILE ONLY? APPLE ARCADE ONLY!? NOOOOO
IT LOOKS SO GOOOD
Fr just when they make an actually sonic-like game, it's exclusive of apple what
Amazing how we get multiple games in a row with other playable characters than Sonic, in 3D!
This game looks so good like wtf
I can't believe this is an Apple Arcade game and included with the service. Fortunately I own Apple device so I can play but I hope it at least comes to Steam and Nintendo Switch in the future.
Doesn’t matter if u have an apple tv, YOU STILL NEED A SUBSCRIPTION
This game looks AWESOME!!! Definitely selling me on Apple Arcade. So glad that the franchise seems to be course correcting these days
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah but not Android 11
Looks cool! Although they really need to rebalance the volume of those sound effects.
I think this is the first game where cream and rouge can perform a homing attack
Excluding Speed Simulator, it is.
technically they do homing attack in heroes, when a team is in speed formation
Heroes and Shadow gave everyone a homing attack
Tails too (he can't in Frontiers)
everyone can since Sonic heroes, even omega has homing attack, the true innovation here is that this game along with frontiers standarized Sonic's Moveset into everyone (Unleashed-forces damaging boost gameplay style)
It's definitely something I would try if it wasn't Apple exclusive, but it's nothing mind-blowing. The level design seems decent but it's not the strongest I've seen.

I feel like Sonic could do with being a little faster, but the other characters seem pretty spot on !
We need this on Nintendo Switch!!! 😭😭😭
on steam deck
@@Axasio switch
Either it would make it implode and explode at the same time or it would go directly to its successor
This looks amazing.
The sound effects really overpower the music. But also, the music isn't quite as "Sonic-y" as I'd like. Other than that, this looks like a blast!
Just lower sound effects in options menu
Minor nitpick: the jump sound effect seems abnormally loud
The fact that this game isn't available on all mobile devices is really ridiculous. Wasted potential
Getting some major Lost Worlds vibes. I hope it's not indefinitely exclusive. It looks like a game I've been wanting for years in the official Sonic universe!
Who asked for this remaster of Sonic Labyrinth?
This game remind me Sonic aventure battle 2 on GameCube !
They miss just the Chao Gardien, and it will be perfect ❤ omg 😱
Bro this looks good we need this on android and steam
Awesome!…GIVE US SPINDASH.
Sonic has entered the fall guys world 😂😂😂😂
Nevermind face Palm
How do you unlock the characters?
I might be the only one here, but I love Sonic's running animation.
I predict "Sonic Dream Team" will come to Nintendo Switch next year.
They have so many movements and expressions in just 6 seconds.
Bro im ngl ik Roger still voices Sonic, but you coulda put Ben Schwartz as the voice cuz theres no excitement for Sonic.
Sonic into Dreams! (Sorry not sorry)
Now you know how it feels to want to play Sonic but not have a Genesis.
If a Genesis was at least 3 times more expensive and died about a year after buying it.
If this game gets stuck like Unleashed did, these gonna be some hellish years for Sonic fans.
Here's hoping this game comes to the Switch.
You know the game is good, but Sonic Team doesn't make an effort, it would be great if each character did something different in different faces. Here all the characters do exactly the same thing looking for some keys, wasting the innate abilities of each one.
Was this played on a controller and was the input of the buttons and sticks good?
Looks good but tails should have his unique running animation instead of being as fast as everyone else on his feet
Anyone else getting sonic heroes vibes like mixed with other sonic games in this?
I mean i used to be a big sonic fan until this... It seems like theyre losing their edge!
why are the characters so small compared to the map ??? its like we're playing ants come on man
Me recuerda mucho a Sonic Lost World
Is it weird seeing tails, knuckles,amy,cream and rogue all can use boost?
Amy, Tails and Knuckles have the boost ability in Sonic Frontiers if you played the final DLC
@@NostalgicShadow oh yeah right but is just filled weird that they both also have homing attack unless they also have that ability at sonic frontier?
@@stupid_birdsAmy and knux did, tails could toss wrenches instead
I think that's like awesome. Because it would ruin the flow of the game if they didn't
@@Egood_ty true, but they need different moves similar to the homing attack for originality
Honestly, it is the best 3D Sonic game in history, the other playable characters are fast and it reminds me of Sonic Advance, the mix of platform and speed combines very well . A Port to Switch with Blaze the cat 🙏🏻
You'll have to wait at least a year for a port and Blaze is very likely to be part of the update and new characters they announced.
Wait, no Knuckles? Is he even in this game?
... Watch the video...
I understand why the levels are so wide, but it just feels so empty, like even more so than Frontiers. They're on the right track here with the actual controls and less automation, but gotta make it a little tighter.

@@UltimateTS64alright I get where you’re coming from. Sorry if I sounded rude
Honestly I just want Sonic Adventure 3
This reminds me of Sonic Workd(for 3ds & Nintendo Wii U) imdigging it hopefully it comes to ps5..
It is a crime that this is ONLY ON APPLE ARCADE WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
Wait, does this game not support full iPhone widescreen?
Looks like fall guys in a way with this stage
Too bad console players got Frontears instead of this.
The sound effects seem too loud. Hope there’s an option to toggle them.

@@AyyyyyyyyyLmao I Agree
@@AyyyyyyyyyLmaoyou can use a controller
Looks promising
I think the game wouldve been fun on consoles, even though they do sound like angry birds sometimes
Looks alright but chao garden would have bumped it 10x
Doesn't look too bad. It's very zoomed out compared to other sonic games and idk if y'all notice but the audio is awful. It sounds like they just slapped sound effects in the game without any mastering or level control.
This looks like a "Sonic 3D World", and I mean that in the best way possible.
The SFX seems pretty bad, like, Roblox quality? Otherwise it looks pretty good.
A dream would be Sonic Mania 2.
It’s all I’m asking for honestly. I’m still dreaming of a sonic adventure 3😂
Me holding out hood they’ll somehow make SRB2 official
Superstars...
Sonic Mania already has a sequel. It’s called Sonic Superstars.
Sonic games in general aren’t very appealing to me at all, but I’m happy for the fans. 😊
Then why’d you comment here? I hope you find a Sonic game that you’d like.
We’ll be waiting a while for this to come outside of apple arcade.
@@jonahabenhaim1223 I do honestly love Sonic 1 /Sonic Adventure/Sonic Mania. Just thought I’d see if anyone else felt the same.
Not missing much in my opinion. If its not coming to console then oh well.
It's so sad for this game to release on the same day as GTA 6 trailer and only on apple devices
the questiothings are overly superflous
The music question though, is it just me or does Sonic's voice sound different
Just you
@@savagemariobros4047 it's been awhile since I've played a more modern Sonic game so I guess just not used to it.
Where is Shadow :( ?
He will be added in post launch
inrelevant
This is why the 3ds or a successer should have been made. Mobile exclusive lmao, nobodys gonna play it
I think the voices here add so little and sound so lifeless that they would've been better off being silent lol
Looks better than Frontiers to me
This game is in desperate need of a roll button and Spin Dash
Boost is better cus it has no startup
It would be a nice addition but it doesn't NEED it.
@@reubenax That’s why I said Roll as well. I can do without the Spin Dash but it’s a missed opportunity that this game has hills and slopes and they don’t have any function outside the half pipes

Sonic and the characters are so tiny
Some of the sound effects are terrible. Especially that chopping sound that constantly happens whenever they jump. It’s so frustrating and disproportionately loud compared to all the other sounds. Got old very quickly
You're only allowed to get a good Sonic game if its a reason to further hate Sega and Sonic Team
Man, this looks boring af. And why recent sonic games have so many forgettable songs?
Omggggg
Everyone in the comments section crying because they dont have apple products like what?
No, we're crying because we want to experience this game, but don't want to buy an overpriced phone.
Glad they finally left the crappy sonic runners era
Haha, fall guys
Kinda hate each duo of the characters are just clones of each other
The sfx for grinding is awful 🤔
They all control the same, lame. Seems like there's three character types.
Sega made a huge mistake for not releasing for android or pc
mistake? hardly. the apple arcade exlusivity is what brought sega this budget in the first place.
This is how Frontiers should have looked like
Im ngl im sirry but this some of the worst sonic music in a while but everything else looks cool ig
Anything that's not edge butt rock is bad to Sonic fans 🤦♀️.
@@AYTM1200there’s no such thing as butt rock
I bet you like safe music like sam smith and Justin Bieber and dubstep
