A bundle of two very fun halves that don’t break new ground but bring Sonic and Shadow to a new generation (heh), Sonic x Shadow Generations is a solid update to a great platformer and a promising revival for Shadow. [Review in Progress]

One More Game - Vincent Ternida - 8 / 10

Sonic x Shadow Generations is a delight for Sonic fans of all kinds. Whether you’re a newcomer inspired by the films or a long-time fan from the series’ early days, this game offers a wealth of content that is sure to win you over. While completing the main story of both titles can take around 10-11 hours, countless additional hours of replayability can be had with its numerous unlockables.

Sonic x Shadow Generations combines two sides of the same coin into one accessible package, promising hours of enjoyment. If you’re looking for a standout Sonic game among the many released in recent years, this is definitely the one to choose. Having not played a Sonic title in 15 years, I found this to be the perfect reintroduction to the series, and the future of the franchise is looking exciting after experiencing this outing from our beloved Hedgehogs.

That shadow anime they made to promote this game was pretty darn peak
Sonic Generations is a snorefest, but the Shadow stuff looks pretty cool

Man... I wish to like Sonic after the mega drive times.
But I never back to it even when I loved the trilogy there.

Newer games never hyped me because they felt not like Sonic at all.

That you need to give proper praise to Nintendo.
2D Mario continue being 2D Mario... everybody loves it.
Their transition 3D was gamer changer... there are 3D platform before Mario 64 and after Mario 64... Mario 64 changed everything... it was much better than others.
So you have a 3D Mario that everybody loves it without stop to love 2D Mario.

And the best of all... Nintendo never forgot any of them.
They release 2D Mario and 3D Mario that are well like Mario you always loved.

Not bad, but not great. It'll probably still perform decently from a unit sales perspective.

Is this a remake or a new game? I've seen that Shadow character before..
