![]() ![]() On multiple occasions we found ourselves jumping or moving Sonic to try and get onto a new area only for him to miss completely or fly off into the distance to a place we didn’t want to go. And once you have the collectible, there’s very little reason to go back up to these areas again.Ĭontrols for running or trying to do pinpoint jumps or platforming also comes off as a bit stiff. While that initially sounds fun, having these massive floating running sections scattered feels out of place and looks like a mess. A large map is great, but the area was littered with different little platform sections with collectibles at the end. The open world for the level on offer was fairly sizeable, stretching a great distance with plenty to explore. ![]() Completing these areas gives you Vault Keys, which give you the chance to get the Chaos Emeralds needed to open up to the next level. These Gears then unlock portals that take you to Cyber Space, what’s essentially a level designed around previous fan-favorite Sonic areas like Green Hill Zone or Angel Island. The objective (or flow) of the game is very simple: defeat Guardian enemies around the map to get Portal Gears. You can run around the area freely, fight any mini-bosses you come across, find new abilities and secret levels, and complete puzzles along the way. In the build we played, we find Sonic on Ares Island, the second island in-game, which is set in a desert surrounded by ancient statues, canyons, and mystery. But even for those 30 minutes, the world, the game, and everything we experienced felt bland and devoid of life. The demo build we played was nowhere near final, having been created specifically for Gamescom for members of the media to try out. When the 30 minutes were down and we finally put the controller down, however, the game left us with a lot of concerns about the title as a whole. The demo gave us a first look at the second level of the game where players rescue Knuckles. After a short presentation about the game, we were given roughly 30 minutes to explore the world, test out new gameplay mechanics, and get a feel for what players had in store. Going into the booth, we were cautiously optimistic about what we would find. At Gamescom last week, SEGA invited Dot Esports to check out an exclusive new build and level of the upcoming Sonic game, Sonic Frontiers. ![]()
