Sonic x Shadow Generations

Bringing the best of past Sonic games into the modern gaming world with familiar yet fresh and striking levels.

Even in a post-Astro Bot world, Sonic X Shadow Generations serves as an epic reminder of how untouchable both Sonic and Sega can be when they're firing on all cylinders, and its treasure trove of content and top-notch presentation make it an easy recommendation, regardless of it not being a blemish-free experience.

Sonic X Shadow Generations delivers two fantastic games for the price of one, capturing the best elements of the Dreamcast era.

By offering this formula of two games in one, SEGA offers a great locomotive for the third film which will be released next December. True to itself, the excellent Sonic Generations has lost none of its brilliance, even if the new features are too light to be sufficiently striking in the minds. What Chao to find in the levels, rare new bonuses... we could have expected much more from a remaster. Fortunately, the part dedicated to Shadow is intended to be more ambitious, with a mini open world to explore and powers that boost the experience for several additional hours of play. Without being revolutionary, Sonic x Shadow Generations is a very good game, but which will, inevitably, have more impact on those who have never touched the original.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is a great combination of 2 games in 1 which packs a pretty fun overall experience at a great price.

Overall, Sonic X Shadow Generations is a game that offers two distinct experiences. On the one hand, Shadow's campaign brings something new and exciting to the table, with never-before-seen abilities and a darker, more strategic approach. On the other hand, the remaster of Sonic Generations does its job of reviving nostalgia, albeit without too many surprises.

At its core, this is still Sonic Generations, so I can’t say I had a bad time playing it, and if you’ve never played it before then I’d absolutely recommend picking this up. However, if you already own Sonic Generations – which I’m willing to bet most people interested in this game do – then I certainly wouldn’t be willing to pay $50 for a handful of new levels that are okay at best.

Muito bom de longe um dos melhores jogos da franquia gráficos ótimos história boa gameplay ótima sem dúvidas merece essa nota

In questo pack sono compresi due giochi: Sonic Genrations e Shadow Generations, entrambi platform che alternano azione in 2D e in 3D. Il primo è un titolo simpatico, poco impegnativo e anche abbastanza breve da portare a termine, che punta ad allungare la longevità con sfide opzionali che ripercorrono livelli spesso già superati. Discorso simile per il gioco dedicato a Shadow, che però è più moderno e godibile. Longevità sempre abbastanza bassa e livello di difficoltà abbastanza concessiva. Spesso con la semplice pressione di un tasto si avviano sequenze di platforming scriptate, belle ma automatiche. Nel complesso questo doppio titolo risulta essere godibile se appassionati del genere, ma più spettacolare da vedere che da giocare.

(Review in progress. Real Score: 7.5) Sonic Generations is a great game, but that's not really what's on display here, as that game came out over a decade ago. Shadow Generations is what I am personally here for, and it is very good - in fact, a lot of it is some of the best stuff I've seen in a Sonic game in quite a while. There is some degree of forced repetitiveness to the main part of the game, but the levels are these cinematic masterpieces, rife with all kinds of reality-bending antics and high-speed platforming - at its best, the main levels are smoothed-out, idealized versions of what so many people loved about Sonic Adventure 2. The story beats, so far, also seem quite a bit more poignant and evocative than what might be expected from a Sonic game. Everything feels a bit less schlocky clumsy in its delivery, and does a great job at bringing the most sympathetic parts of Shadow's story to light. The main problem with Shadow Generations, and the reason it merits a 7 (rather than the 8 I really want to give it) is that there really isn't enough meat on its bones to justify being a full-priced game. Even Sonic Frontiers is rather short by the standard of what a full-priced game should have in it; though Sonic X Shadow Generations isn't the same price as Frontiers, I'd even wager it's a bit short despite the lower price point. As it stands now, I definitely recommend picking this one up when it's on sale, especially if you've ever enjoyed a Sonic game. I wouldn't expect anything revolutionary here, but Shadow Generations is still some of the best Sonic gameplay I've experienced in recent memory. As with Sonic Frontiers, I hope this game is a precursor to something bigger in the future - unlike Frontiers, however, I think Shadow Generations really nails everything it tries to do here.

Like every Sonic games, what I'm doing pressing the buttons of my controller ? The feeling that the game plays itself

I’m more a fan of the old school Sonic’s and despite attempting to combine them this game is not very fun. The controls are awed and modern sonic you always come to screeching halt. Old school sonic is the worse as it plays nothing like yo old school sonic momentum. So the first three levels are decent but then rest of the game drags and I could care less about the story.a lot of the “challenges” are pretty dumb (hitting an eight note tennis match with vector what the hell is this?) and not fun. As for the shadow part, I played two levels and that’s it. Overall, this is not the comebackI keep hearing of. Sonic mania would be that sega should take bite and at this point between this and the abysmal sonic frontiers, I pretty much can assume sega will never get this right.
