Not PC, but mobile, but still fun: You can play Sonic Prime Dash for free if you have a Netflix subscription. We present the game to you in more detail.
How fast can you run after drinking twenty-five espressos or energy drinks? Regardless of the fact that this would be anything but sensible from a health point of view, you still wouldn’t draw a line against Sonic. The blue hedgehog has become a celebrated Hollywood star, but of course new games starring him also appear regularly.
A particularly successful representative is Sonic Dash, a mobile spin-off released in 2013 that has been downloaded more than 100 million times on Android and iOS smartphones. Do you have a Netflix subscription? If so, you can now try out the remake called Sonic Prime Dash for yourself at no extra cost.
What is Sonic Prime Dash about?
We could say at this point: If you know one Sonic, you know them all, but that would come across as too negative. We’d rather say: If you know and love Sonic, you’ll also have fun with Dash. In terms of gameplay, you can expect nothing unusual for the series.
Sonic runs through the levels, jumps, dodges obstacles as well as enemies and collects rings. All this in a pretty visual style by mobile standards. By the way, there is no big difference to the original Dash, only a few new skins for the characters have been added.
Whoever says skins must also address microtransactions: Yes, there is an in-game shop in Sonic Prime Dash with the usual options for mobile games to shorten certain waiting times in the game. With real money, it is also very easy to climb up the global leaderboard. However, this shouldn’t be a problem for a quick game or two on the go, as long as you don’t play Sonic Prime Dash competitively.
How does the installation work? Open the Netflix app on your Android or iOS device and navigate to the Games menu item. There you will find Sonic Prime Dash among other free games. From here on, it’s business as usual: download, install and start playing!
Have you played Sonic Dash before? With 100 million downloads, there’s a good chance that one of you will say yes. If so, how did you like the game back then? What aspects did you dislike? Have you already had a taste of the new Prime Dash? Lots of questions that will hopefully be rewarded with lots of answers in the comments section!
