10.08.2024 - it's been a long day and I'm exhausted. I'm not even sure why, but I'm going to spend some time with Tears of the Kingdom and reading my book before heading to bed. I just about saved my bed from the tea after taking this picture, thank god I hooked my switch up to the dock before nearly chucking it over everything!

Sonic X Shadow Generations

What a year to be a Sonic (Franchise) fan, earlier in 2024 we had a huge amount of announcements in the realm of music, art, movies and last but not least gaming. Sonic Team graced fans with an announcement about a remaster of one of it’s most popular titles Sonic Generation; but that wasn’t all, they also announced additional content, a side story about Shadow the Hedgehog and his whereabouts during the events of Sonic’s quest to foil Eggman’s plan to control time.

I’m going to focus primarily on the Shadow content since it’s completely new; however I will (pardon the pun) do a speed run on Sonic’s part. 

Sonic is celebrating his birthday when Dr. Eggman shows up with a time variant of his past self who have both gained control of a temporal anomaly known as the time eater. After ruining the party, separating him from his friends, and starting to warp the space-time continuum, the blue blur must team up with his younger self to save everyone and everything.

Meanwhile, Shadow while on a mission for G.U.N. gets swept up in the temporal surge, and must face echoes of his own past to return to his own timeline.

Now, I’m unapologetically a Shadow fan boy but I won’t let that dissuade my critical thinking; didn’t let it for his first solo outing and not here.

The game’s biggest flaw is the obnoxious amounts of padding! I understand that Shadow has far less content to draw from, but retreading the same zones as mini games is not my idea of fun. 

That issue aside, I was thoroughly entertained by the various gameplay features such as the use of Chaos Control to solve various in game puzzles. Shadow’s new powers were interesting, the doom wings were cool but felt tacked on because they were regulated to a handful of uses; Doom Blast was a palette swap of a later attack from Sonic Frontiers, then there were the Doom Spears which didn’t need to exist.

The 2 most interesting abilities were Doom Surf which gave Shadow the ability to ride water on a manta ray like creature, and Doom Morph which allowed him to transform into a black arms like creature to attack enemies and solve other puzzles.

The soundtrack like in most Sonic Team joints was on point.

I played it on the switch so the graphic upscale was minimal, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

So that’s the game, Sonic Team did the thing and it was fine; I liked it and it was a great entry in the “Year of Shadow.”

I give Sonic X Shadow Generations a 3 out of 5.
