Strong Enough for an Adult, PH Balanced for Kids
The answer to that question lies with the intended audience for Journey of Dreams. While it is indeed a novel piece of entertainment, the experience is uncommon enough to limit its appeal to the masses. Through its relatively juvenile story and whimsical setting, Journey of Dreams will have no trouble appealing to the preteen crowd. Fans of the original, regardless of their age, will appreciate every second as an indulgence. But where does that leave everyone else? Nights might be too weird for normal gamers, and it might lose the casual crowd since it’s an actual game. Despite Sonic Team’s attempt to broaden the gameplay and include an abundance of tutorials, Nights certainly has a constrained appeal. Newcomers with enough patience will find a rewarding experience while those with a less prolific attention span might not be so lucky.
