I'm back, and since my little break, Sega dropped a new Sonic game out of nowhere, developed by Hardlight. They usually make short mobile games, so how do they fare when it's something a little larger?

Thank you for all of your videos up to this point because I love every one of them and rewatch them constantly. You will always be my favorite youtuber and I and all of your other fans are lucky to have you. Yay Johnny is back and feeling good!

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Thank you for keepin' on keepin' on, but moreso for taking care of yourself. Consider it's been 17 years since we had a 100% 3D mainline game, or even a half-3D mainline game where Sonic's friends were playable (spinoffs like Boom or racing games are another story). More than half the series' total lifespan without these things that people actually liked... and now they're back. Just like that. I'm so amazed by how quickly Sonic's friends have been normalized, and all it took was a few games (and Frontiers' DLC) within a couple months. Turns out it was just that easy!

[@DURANDAL1007]

Pretty cool to see you here, I love your books.

[@SimplyColin]

I first came across this channel back in 2010 when I was 10 years old. Back when it was SGB Reviews and before all the Johnny Vs stuff. I watched on and off up until 2012 where I truly became a fan and watched every new upload. I would get excited when a new upload would go up, I remember being hyped when the mega man marathon happened as an 8th grader just getting into the series. But no matter how old I got, I still continued to watch this channel. I still liked the videos, and the channel was just getting better and better. But it made me realize, that I have been following this channel for almost 14 years now. Regardless to say, there is a plethora of channels I used to watch but don’t anymore. But not this channel, and truthfully these videos have helped me out during some pretty dark days. Seriously, whenever life feels like too much I’ll throw on a Somecallmejohnny playlist (in chronological order) and just let it play out in the background, and it’s help. It’s comforting, and it’s gotten me through those rough days. Anyways, I just wanted to leave this comment and express how much you mean to me and how much you have unknowingly done for me. Legitimately one of my biggest aspirations in life, not just as a “content creator” but as a person. Thank you for all you have done

[@shadoke]

I have to say, Ariem is a great pun for a Dream related character

[@rizuzechocolate]

I haven't been much into Sonic lately so when this game came out and I heard it was an Apple arcade exclusive, I just brushed it aside. All I knew about it was that there was a new character. I didn't put it together that her name was a pun on REM until I heard Johnny say it and saw how it's spelled lol. Also makes sense that's she's a sheep! I'm glad for reviewers like Johnny because I get to see how Sonic is doing game-wise. I hope this game is ported over to other consoles because it actually looks pretty fun to play.

[@Woodenfan]

@@rizuzechocolate Agreed, if this was on the switch or PS5 or something, I'd 100% play this.

[@Geneolgia]

Hardlight has a lot of potential as a developer, Dream Team is a solid game for being a mobile title with a more limited budget. Also I love seeing more characters come back and join the gang, having Cream and Rouge back in action is so cool. And I'm glad you're doing better Johnny. Take care, and if you need a break, it's all good.

[@8024hawk]

[@MusicallyMike126]

Your words at the 24:00 mark really hit home Johnny. I haven't commented or interacted since I became a fan way back during shovel knight or the Mario maker video....one of those ones. As I never really feel I had anything important to add but I think im gonna start making more of a effort to change that. Your Story with your struggles and words of advice for up and coming creators was perfectly timed since im about to start my channel doing videos on personal review/retrospective of a game with some humor but transcribing and playing a song or two of the game. Its been alot of work and the imposter syndrome is hitting hard but your message does help in me just shutting that noise down and just doing it. So thank you for the inspiration, the words. I hope you have a good one and here's to a good 2024!

[@pikminguy55]

You do NOT need to apologize for anything Johnny! While I admit it I missed seeing new videos pop up like every few weeks from ya; your mental health is MORE important than anything!

Johnny, I found your channel back in college in 2012 when I was suffering my own mental breakdown of sorts. I started back with the original Mario reviews and have been an avid watcher since. The style of your videos helped me immensely and brought me a lot of peace when I most needed it. Take all the time you need; your happiness is more important than anything else.

[@roiitzkovich4545]

Dream Team is one of those "yeah t's good" kinda games. It's basically the Sonic equivalent of Super Mario 3D Land. Nothing about it is flat out amazing or even great, but it's a well-crafted and enjoyable time. For a mobile game, it doesn't have to be more than that. If Hardlight were to be hired to make mainline games alongside Sonic Team, I think they might be able to make an honest-to-god banger. Let Sonic Team work on their open-zone games, while Hardlight make more course-clear Sonic games. You're offering the new playstyle, while still keeping the old playstyle. Sounds like a winning recipe IMO.

[@copynpastekevin4389]

So pretty much a modern version of how DIMPS worked on the GBA/DS games? I’m down for it!

[@roiitzkovich4545]

@@copynpastekevin4389 Colors DS is equally as good as the Wii version though so I wouldn't say it's just kinda good. Colors DS is a P great game.

[@jaretco6423]

That's actually not an bad comparison. As someone who also enjoys 3D Land, this was an nice break for Sonic and what they did was overall good. Sure it's no Adventure 1 & 2 levels of deep & experimental game. But it doesn't need to be and for an mobile game, that's cool. I would say Dream Team is my 2nd favorite 3D Sonic game next to Generations.

[@roiitzkovich4545]

@@jaretco6423 I wouldn't go THAT far. It's not even in my top 10 favorite Sonic games. I played it twice and didn't get the urge to play it again.

Easily my favourite part of the game even if I don't have it yet is just the fact Cream is here AND playable. She's one of my absolute favourite characters and to see her finally return to the spotlight, even in a very weird way of accessing the game, puts a huge smile on the face. Also, as the supportive comments keep saying, we all agree mental health comes first. Glad to see you're okay.

[@shotarojoestar5349]

I’m glad you found it within yourself to step back and focus on your mental health. I had a similar thing with my music. I was too hard on myself, stressed about having to make new songs before our big Skatoberfest concert. I ended up forgetting about my wedding anniversary to my wife cuz I was arranging a new song. After that concert, I told my band mates that I’m gonna take a sabbatical leave until January 2024. I’m glad I did that, so I’m happy that you took a break before your job took you over. Love you Johnny. Keep up the good work

A mental health crisis is no joke and I'm so glad that you choose to take care of yourself. Never feel like you have to apologize for a long wait.

Wow Johnny. I was almost in tears when you said "look after yourself". That hit me hard. That was a lesson I learned 5 years ago at college which simply saved my life. To everyone else watching, PLEASE take that to heart!

[@arkspine]

With all the youtubers quitting as of late. It hit me that I hadn't seen anything uploaded from you lately Johnny. I thought I was missing something, but it was a surprise that the last video was still Sonic Superstars. One thing we viewers take for granted is the availability of content to consume on KZbin. And that these content creators are just always gonna be here, making videos. I had no idea how much you were struggling with behind the scenes man. You take your time feeling better and I hope you find a better work life balance.

[@Code7Unltd]

People say it's because revenues are dwindling, but they're forgetting January is always a slow month.

[@NanaKyoto]

Now that you mention the idea of freely switching between characters, it makes me wish for a new Sonic Heroes, but as it currently stands, one can only dream. As for that closing statement, I can honestly relate to that, losing the vision in passion projects is a terrible thing, it's okay to take a break should things reach a breaking point.

[@VonFirflirch]

I'd love to see a Heroes 2, where you can pick the individual members of your team or something. And more polish, that gameplay style is so fun and unique once you really grasp it... it deserves more, damnit x)

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

It's not just Heroes.... Sega needs to revisit quite a few of their old ideas cause the concepts can still work. In fact, I honestly liked the Werehog, but they also didn't fully take advantage of that system, especially on the platforming side. Yeah it lacked on the fighting side too, but I honestly appreciated it more when i didn't level up the werehog (although it's sad you need to avoid a mechanic to enjoy another one better). And no need to explain P06.... Just need to see that and it explains itself

[@JustAguy006]

​@@DarkFrozenDepths Combine the flair of Sonic Frontiers combat and the combos/basic moveset of the Werehog combat together for the ideal Sonic combat. But make that shit speedy as hell, I don't want Sonic Frontiers or Werehog levels of slow combat (ugh).

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

@@JustAguy006 well, that's where the "headgehog may cry" mod comes in. because it speeded up sonic's combos by a lot. main reason the combos were slower for unleashed and frontiers anyway was to make it more cinematic, but sega slowed it down TOO much for most people.

[@JustAguy006]

@@DarkFrozenDepths but it makes the enemies tanky and the combat slower even if the moves are much more fluid. I don’t want to fight a meat shield in a Sonic game, that’s counter productive. I’d argue Trackers physics hyper combat is a much more bang for your buck since you can toggle it off and on if you want, while still giving the combat the fast QOL changes it needs.

Im beyond thankful you were able to take some time for yourself. Ive been watching your vids for a long time. You’ve pushed me to do a lot of things creatively and Im gonna stick around and enjoy anything you make. Thank you for everything and know we’re all happy you’re doing better.

I remember people joking about this being one of the few Sonic games IGN had positive thoughts on. But anyway, I wish I could play this. As a Samsung person with no Mac, I hope we get some ports for something I actually own soon.

Love you John, been watching for 10 years now which is crazy but your easily one of my favorite creators/persons on all of KZbin, take care of yourself man we'll always be here to support you, much love

[@travosK]

watching old SCMJ videos is comfort food for the soul

[@betterthanbrooklyn5806]

It's chill man if you need a break you need a break! This video was awesome as usual!

[@andreworders7305]

3:52 they let Gameloft make a Sonic Dash spin-off once, and the pure lack of quality in that alone shines these guys in a pretty positive light

[@Josuh]

They also let Gameloft make Spider-Man Unlimited which was so good they reworked the Minion Rush game to use the same mechanics afterwards, for better or for worse, still miss that game

I remember having stumbled across your old SGB reviews from 2008 to 2010 *years ago*, and I fucking loved them. Seeing Johnny Vs turn into what it has was also amazing. Your jokes never cease to make me laugh like a hyena. You kick ass, mate. I love this channel, no matter what ♥️

[@ButterStick64]

Your mental health matters more than any videos, sponsors, fan, anything. Take as looong as a break as you need. Keep moving forward, friend.

[@sleepysupra]

Been watching since the end of month of sonic 2, and you've always delivered chill, funny, and quality videos. If you need to take some more time for yourself then go for it. I'll support you all the way

[@Shredster7]

27:40 There's no need to apologize. Everyone has their limits and should take breaks. What's important is that you're alive and healthy.

[@kazuhirokawamoto7213]

we love you man. take care of yourself man bless you and your family

[@DoctorMinjinx]

No need to apologize, Johnny. Mental matter matters above all. Glad you’re doing better these days.

[@Loic-57]

I started learning English thanks to your videos! =) Sometimes you need to distance yourself, that's normal. Thank you for your videos and I hope to see you again some day ;)

[@squidapple9662]

It's been like an entire month or more and I only just now realize when you're saying "Ariem" it sounds like "R-E-M" aka Rem sleep, god damnit

[@Total_Malarkey]

We love you, Johnny, and will always put your well-being over your videos, no matter how much we love to watch them. Stay well, man. ❤️

[@DJGlaceon991]

And we’re back!

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

You shouldn't apologize for taking time off for yourself Johnny. I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope things are easier on you going forward.

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

12:03 Wow, You had to play the audio clip from Batman Forever did you? Also 12:11 Good grief that facial reaction cracks me up.

[@kenyattetaylor1488]

You dont need to be sorry. I watch since the beginning of high school and enjoy your content and always can't wait for a new video I show my gf your channel and we began to watch you together.I lost her last year this month and just watching you bring back those sweet memories and help me keep going.

[@DinoDave150]

Gosh, Selene's gotten so BIG since she first appeared in your Dark Souls review.

[@jkrunch2166]

Dude, when I went through my own manic episode years ago, one of things that got me through it was binging your videos and hearing your experiences with video game franchises I loved. You need no excuse to take time off for yourself, nor do we need or even deserve an explanation.
