Lords Of Gaming : 9.5 / 10 by Robert Kellett
With an emotional narrative that makes you feel things for Sonic's cast, a level of visual presentation completely foreign to the franchise, and some of the best level design from any 3D Boost title, Shadow Generations alone is worth the price of admission. Pairing that with Sonic Generations merely cements Sonic X Shadow Generations as the Sonic game for anyone who loves the franchise or people new to the series.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a great two-for-one deal, but for us, the antihero's half of the package steals the show. While the remaster of the 13-year-old platformer is perfectly fine, Shadow's brand new campaign outshines it with much improved gameplay and level design. The older game definitely shows its age in some regards, but bundling together one of the most beloved Sonic titles with one of the best 3D entries in recent memory makes for a compelling double feature.
Try Hard Guides: 10 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Sonic x Shadow Generations is a brand-new, exciting Sonic game generously packaged with a remaster of a beloved franchise title. The $50 price tag is worth it just for Shadow Generations, a fantastic new game that captures the best aspects of the franchise and one of its most beloved characters.
Sonic X Shadow Generations Description
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a remastered and content-expanded version of the 2011 platformer titled Sonic Generations. The game was developed by the Sonic Team studio, and its release was handled by SEGA, the company overseeing the brand.
Plot
Sonic X Shadow Generations offers two stories. Fans had the opportunity to experience the first story in the original. Classic Sonic is known from the first games under this brand. Modern Sonic was appearing in the newer parts of the series. They must join forces to once again thwart the sinister plans of the villainous Eggman (Doctor Ivo Robotnik).
The protagonist of the second story is Shadow, the great rival of Sonic, whose task is to confront his nemesis - Black Doom. In order to prevent Black Doom from taking over the world, Shadow must travel back in time, confront painful memories, and unlock new powers, thereby reaching the fullness of his potential.
Mechanics
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a hybrid of a classic sidescrolling platformer and a 3D platformer in which the action is viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP). During the game, we rush through the stages at incredible speeds, jump on platforms and avoid traps and obstacles, as well as get rid of enemies. On the way, we collect golden rings, which we lose when we take damage.
Technical aspects
Sonic X Shadow Generations stands out from the original thanks to its refreshed graphics.
