Remastered and expanded version of the Sonic Generations platformer from 2011, combining 2,5D and 3D gameplay. Sonic X Shadow Generations offers both the original content, as well as the new campaign in which Shadow is the main protagonist.
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.
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.
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.
Sonic X Shadow Generations stands out from the original thanks to its refreshed graphics.

VG247: 4 / 5 by Alex Donaldson
All told, this feels like a solid offering from Sega and Sonic Team. Generations remains a perfect history lesson for younger fans, while Shadow’s new narrative provides a tantalizing introduction to the character before he hits the Hollywood big time just before Christmas. It’s one of Sonic’s better recent outings made just that little bit better - and you can’t really complain about that.
New Game Network: 67 / 100 by Eric Hall
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a mishmash of enjoyable 2D platforming and frustrating 3D sequences. Shadow at least manages to somewhat mitigate the clumsy controls thanks to some interesting gameplay wrinkles. The title also looks good, but probably won't bring the pair of hedgehogs back to the forefront of the genre.
Eurogamer: 3 / 5 by Ed Nightingale
Shadow's campaign provides some of the best 3D levels of the series, but it's coupled with a dated and unnecessary remaster. If only Sega went all-in on the future.
