Sonic X Shadow Generations

Peak Sonic is back!! This game was truly a redemption to this series! The levels and boss fights are incredible, and I love the high speed thrills I get with the levels.
Definitely a masterpiece, and makes me want to replay Sonic Adventure 2 again.

The Sonic Franchise Leaned me How to live when I was 4 Years old and still does as 23 Years old. It may sound dumb but it has a lot of meaning in it for me. Amazing game. One of the best Sonic games ever.

I'm going to Review Sonic and Shadow separately to keep it fair.

Sonic part:

- Cons:
- Mechanics can feel wonky, unresponsive even at times
- Characters keep repeating themselves in levels and in the final boss fight it's annoying as hell
- Not clear enough objectives on what to do in certain boss fights
- The "big" boss fights were less fun and felt smaller than the mini ones
- simple design of level picking, should have made it similar to Shadow
- Collectables in levels felt whatever, in Shadow's part they had a purpose in unlocking items
- forgetable Skill Shop

+ Pros:
+ OST, kept the same one as the OG very nostalgic and just uplifting vibes
+ Mini boss fights against characters in the franchise
+ variety in acts (levels) of perspectives of Sonic
+ Fun interactions between characters in the story
+ Collection Room, even tho it's poorly designed compared to Shadows
+ Variety of levels as mentioned also in perspectives

Rating: 7/10



Shadow part:

- Cons:
- 1 or 2 levels towards the end which I felt weren't executed well enough design wise with the ability used for it
- Could have had a more expanded story but I rate it for what it is

+ Pros:
+ Animated Prologue of the story after beating the game
+ OST, my kind of lane with the heavy rock and sinister influence
+ mini open world to travel around with mini games and collectables
+ rewarding variety of abilities after defeating areas
+ variety of challenges
+ Collection Room
+ Fun boss fights with a couple surprising Characters from the franchise
+ Cool Mechanics which made Shadow feel powerful unlike Sonic

Rating: 8.5/10


Overall rating: 7.5, I need a full Shadow game.

Surprisingly made sonic generations seem outdated and boring, all I wanted to do was play Shadow generations instead. Incredibly fun game that provides a lot of value and replayability.

Sonic Generations-5/10, Shadow Generations-8/10. I grew up with Sonic Generations and this replay made me not like it that much, but Shadow Generations rules

Shadow The Hedgehog is one of my favourite characters in fiction✨️
