Oct. 2025

Sonic X Shadow Generations is two games in one: A slightly enhanced port of Sonic Generations (originally released 2011) and Shadow Generations , a brand new entry starring everyone's favorite spiky anti-hero. Sonic Generations is the same great game that it was back when it was released; a mix of exciting 2D and 3D gameplay celebrating Sonic's history, featuring recreations of fan favorite stages from previous games, and numerous challenges. Other than re-recorded dialogue (the story is an excuse plot anyway), the Drop Dash, some improved textures, and the inclusion of Chao as additional things to find, it's otherwise almost identical to the original release. Missed opportunity to improve the somewhat clunky Classic Sonic controls or add an extra stage or two, but still the game that Sonic fans loved back in 2011. As such, my gripes with the stiff 2D controls and the game's short length remain, but the rest is otherwise very good stuff overall. Also worth nothing that you can't unlock the original Sonic the Hedgehog like you could in the original Generations. Shadow Generations uses a similar 2D/3D hybrid style for gameplay. Shadow's got his own arsenal of moves, some being iconic while others are all-new. To compensate for Shadow having less iconic levels to pull from compared to Sonic, his game contains a sizable hub area loaded with challenges and optional items to search for. It truly feels like you're Shadow himself when you're going around freezing time and warping from one enemy to another. Boss battles are few but memorable, all requiring a drastically different strategy to defeat. The serviceable (albeit not great) story, tight level design, incredible graphics & soundtrack, improved controls compared to Sonic Frontiers, and tons of collectibles all come together to make Shadow Generations an excellent game and well deserving of its hype. I just wish we had a little more of it; why no stages from Shadow the Hedgehog? Overall, SxS is a great package with two of the best Sonic games to date. Definitely worth grabbing if you're into Sonic or platformers in general, and haven't played either. Even if you have played Sonic Generations previously like I have, it's worth it for Shadow Generations alone, and the former still holds up well.

Easily one of the best Sonic games I've ever played bundled with easily one of the best Sonic games I've ever played. Price is a biiit much but it's usually what I pay for crack anyway and both of these games are a comparable experience.

nice to play a game where one character enjoys reliving old memories and the other has to relive their trauma

The unskippable steamy makeout session between Sonic and Shadow at the end was certainly a bold move but overall great game 10/10
