Sonic X Shadow Generations Review

Conclusion

It’s not often that a game can change your perspective on how you have previously enjoyed (or not) the franchise but Sonic X Shadow Generations has just done that. I’ve never been a full-blown hater of 3D Sonic games, but they were never something I sped to play (pun intended). This new game has changed my mind. The remaster of Sonic Generations is great as expected but Shadow Generations is like finding extra fries at the bottom of the bag. The 3D landscape that you get to explore as Shadow and the powers you acquire is like a breath of fresh air for the series. It gives me hope for the future of Sonic and it’s worth your time to check it out.

Good
  • Basically two games (one is a remaster of a known great game!)
  • Shadow's campaign is excellent
  • Maybe one of the best pieces of 3D Sonic gameplay that exists as of today
Bad
  • I wish it was a little longer
  • The variety of challenges feels a little low
9
Excellent
