At Gamescom last week, SEGA invited Dot Esports to check out an exclusive new build and level of the upcoming Sonic<\/em> game, Sonic Frontiers<\/em>.<\/p>
Going into the booth, we were cautiously optimistic about what we would find. 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. <\/p>
The demo gave us a first look at the second level of the game where players rescue Knuckles. 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 build we played was nowhere near final, having been created specifically for Gamescom for members of the media to try out. But even for those 30 minutes, the world, the game, and everything we experienced felt bland and devoid of life.<\/p>
