Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am incredibly excited about the upcoming release of Sonic Dream Team. The game looks like a lot of fun, and I can't wait to play as my favorite characters, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, and Cream. I'm also intrigued by the new character, Ariem. I'm not sure what role he'll play in the game, but I'm excited to find out.
The 3D platformer genre is one of my favorites, and I think Sonic Dream Team looks like it will be a great addition to the genre. The graphics look amazing, and the gameplay looks fast-paced and exciting. I can't wait to explore the whimsical and dreamlike world of Sonic Dream Team and see what adventures await me.
