A buzz has surrounded Sonic Dream Team both before and after its launch, for better and for worse. One major frustration from fans comes from the game’s Apple Arcade exclusivity, effectively blocking a huge swathe of the fandom’s audience from being able to play it.
It's doubly aggravating considering the Sonic series’ tendency to launch games on multiple platforms, as has been the case since the days of the PlayStation 2, Gamecube, and original Xbox. But that’s only one of two reasons why this exclusivity sucks. The other is much simpler: Sonic Dream Team is brilliant.
