History YMMV / SonicDreamTeam

** While not to the same extent as Rouge, Creator/MichelleRuff's Cream has also been criticized for sounding like she's talking to babies even though she's the youngest character in the cast. Her VoiceGrunting is otherwise considered fine and even cute to listen to, but the dialogue is [[{{Pun}} ruff]]. This could be justified that it's been over ten years since Cream had a physical appearance in a major title outside of spin-offs or mobile games.

* FanartAtFirstSight: Ariem, the sheep-woman featured in the page image, received fanart less than an hour after the reveal trailer dropped.

* SalvagedStory: Cream's lack of appearances in some ''Sonic'' games has been criticized by some people, where despite a majority of the franchise's ensemble cast making an appearance, she gets excluded, especially if Amy Rose or Blaze the Cat are involved (most notably, ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing'', and ''VisualNovel/TheMurderOfSonicTheHedgehog''). Here, [[TheBusCameBack Cream finally makes her return to the games]] as one of the six main characters.

* ThatOneMission: After the 1.2.0 update, Dr. Crabulous' third mission becomes this, due to the conflation of only having [[OneHitPointWonder one ring on the player]] and the TimedMission. The update also buffs up the amount of health Dr. Crabulous has, requiring six hits instead of three. Combine that with [[TimeLimitBoss the boss fight having a time limit]] of ''one minute'', and you have a surprisingly frustrating boss mission. The best ways to get past these frustrations is by adjusting the accessibility features, setting the game speed to 50% in order to get the character in a position to easily homing attack its weak points, along with setting the character to invincible so the player doesn't waste time hanging on to a singular ring.

Her VoiceGrunting is otherwise considered fine and even cute to listen to, but the dialogue is [[{{Pun}} ruff]].

* EpilepticTrees: Some believed that this game will be connected to the ''[=NiGHTS=]'' series, or that [=NiGHTS=] himself will appear, because this game ''also'' occurs in a dream world. ''VideoGame/SonicShuffle'' theories have also sprung up for the same reason.

** While not to the same extent as Rouge, Creator/MichelleRuff's Cream has also been criticized for sounding like she's talking to babies even though she's the youngest character around. Her VoiceGrunting is otherwise considered fine and even cute to listen to, but the dialogue is [[{{Pun}} ruff]].

* SelfFanservice: Fan artists tend to draw Ariem with curves that can fit her sweater/robe, despite the fact that she's only comprised of [[FloatingLimbs two floating hands and a head]].
* TaintedByThePreview: The game being exclusive to Platform/AppleArcade has greatly angered fans who would otherwise be excited about the game, with fans being quick to complain about the game's exclusivity immediately after the trailer dropped. Though [[https://i.redd.it/u0d11r4vutxb1.jpg a post by a Sega HARDlight ambassador]] did confirm that console/PC versions aren't entirely ruled out, many fans are still worrying.
* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: While the artstyle and the feel of the locales don't look too out of place akin to ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'', the game goes beyond with its surreal and trippy nature, as it takes place in dreamscapes. And it's all reflected with some of the boss design (e.g. Eggman turning into a giant known as "Nightmare Eggman" that can sprout multiple arms and stretching them around).

* QuestionableCasting: Players have noticed that Creator/KarenStrassman's performance as Rouge sounds much weirder and out-of-character than usual, having less of a sultry tone and sounding way too upbeat and peppy. This was previously brought up by fans in ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing'' but is even more pronounced in this game (even though Karen sounds completely fine in subsequent stuff), leading fans to wonder about the voice direction.
