Sonic X Shadow Generations is a fantastic game that is made with such love and understanding of what a Sonic game should be. It relies on three major components that drive its main gameplay. That is its own history from its 2D past, 3D present, and the future. It integrates these components expertly, and it keeps things entertaining and fresh while trying to push the Sonic formula even further into a new realm.
Sonic x Shadow Generations isn’t the ultimate Sonic game, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction, potentially restoring faith in the Sonic franchise, which has been grappling with an identity crisis for the past fifteen years. What’s on your screen isn’t just another remaster of a 13-year-old game but a completely new chapter in the story of one of the most intriguing characters in this universe. It’s a multi-hour adventure that justifies the purchase and takes you back to nostalgic times.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is good enough for its price, because it bundles two great, albeit not flawless, experiences. It's a must have if you are a die-hard fan of the blue hedgehog, but it also serves as a nice introduction and re-introduction to the saga for those who have yet to set foot in it and for those who have not done so for a long time.

As separate entries, Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations are excellent games. Together in a single package? This is probably the best thing the WHOLE Sonic franchise has to offer. An easy recommendation not only for Sonic fans but platformers in general.

Sonic x Shadow Generations is fast, fun and a tribute to the clearly shorter history of its protagonist.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is, simply, brilliant. It does everything you want it to and then some. Is it perfect? The answer is no, it isn’t, but heck it’s fun!
I played a lot of this game with a smile on my face, it was exactly what I’d hoped for going in, and plenty more else on top. Sonic Generations is one of the best releases in the series post-Mega Drive, but the addition of a genuinely fun adventure which gives Shadow the moment he deserves makes this not only one of my favourite Sonic releases, but one of my favourite releases this year. My only remaining hope now that the foundations for future adventures have been laid, is that Sega and Team Sonic continue to build on them, so that both their iconic mascot and his fans, get the games that they both deserve.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a package simply not to be missed. In addition to giving new luster to one of the most appreciated chapters dedicated to the blue hedgehog, the SEGA operation also conveys a darting, never-before-seen adventure dedicated to the charismatic black hedgehog. An outstanding ride at times, showcasing the full potential, as yet uncertainly explored, of the series in its three-dimensional incarnation. Two titles for the cost of one (actually less, given the budget price) for one of the best platformers of recent years. Unmissable.

With Sonic x Shadow Generations, Sonic Team has made an impressive comeback, taking the best elements of Sonic Generations and combining them with the drama and intensity of Shadow's storyline. The switch between styles and the different abilities of the two heroes bring a breath of fresh air to the Sonic formula without neglecting the roots of the series. The visual overhaul and the smooth presentation in performance mode round off the gaming experience. Nevertheless, a little more fine-tuning could have been done in some places, especially when it comes to long-term motivation in White Space - a more dynamic soundtrack and smaller mini-games would have made the exploration more varied. But that's criticism on a high level: all in all, Sonic x Shadow Generations is a thrilling adventure that offers plenty of fun for both long-time Sonic fans and newcomers alike.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve enjoyed playing a Sonic title this much, with both halves of Sonic X Shadow Generations combining to make a great package.
Sonic x Shadow Generations combines a remastered Sonic Generations with a fast, fluid, and fun Shadow-focused adventure that steals the show. Shadow generations introduces unique abilities, satisfying gameplay, an incredible soundtrack, and flawlessly crafted levels to produce the ultimate 3D platforming experience. While both games are relatively short, the combined pair offers unbeatable value that's a must-play for fans.
SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS captures the essence of what Sonic fans love most about the series. Adding classic levels, along with Shadow's unique gameplay mechanics and an interesting storyline, is a big plus. At least that shows Sonic Team's passion for the rebirth of this series.
Sonic X Shadow Generations consists of two games: the new Shadow Generations and a remaster from Sonic Generations. The games both look great. The level design in the remaster is a bit nicer. The very high pace sometimes causes some difficulty with the controls. Nevertheless, the games are not unplayable. They are a bit on the short side, but take you into a real trip along old Sonic game worlds.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is a fantastic blend of nostalgia and innovation. The remastered Sonic campaign pairs beautifully with the exciting new Shadow story, offering tight platforming and exhilarating speed. It's fun, polished, and full of surprises—definitely worth your time!
Sonic x Shadow Generations is a pack with two jewels of the franchise, one classic and one modern. With Shadow Generations, the developers showed the ability to make the most out of Sonic Frontiers' not so polished new concepts and deliver them with more quality here, evolving the series. The franchise's future is in good hands if the next game keeps up with the content this miniadventure delivered.

Sonic X Shadow Generations revitalizes a classic by combining nostalgia with fresh content. With enhanced visuals and a campaign focused on Shadow the Hedgehog, it offers smooth gameplay and rich character development. While console players will appreciate the upgrades, the high price for PC users might seem steep for just the new Shadow story.
Sonic X Shadow Generations reaffirms Sega’s mastery in honoring its iconic franchise. While both titles in the collection shine, Shadow Generations emerges as the standout, showcasing an incredible commitment to refining the series with an experience that borders on excellence.

Sonic x Shadow Generations is recommended for offering a double proposal, with the remastering of a jewel of 2011 and a new story within the universe of the saga. A must-have collection for Sonic fans and an excellent entry for new players interested in the history and evolution of both characters.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is the best 3D Sonic package that money can buy. A solid upgrade to Generations’s performance and features makes the best 3D Sonic title even better. Meanwhile Shadow Generations represents a resounding leap in level design and visuals compared to some past games, and is a rock-solid compliment to its predecessor. I have my issues with it, and I don’t think it’s as great as Sonic’s portion of the package, but it’s still good and largely well-rounded. It feels as though the series has finally shed its curse of each game being a “good first step”, and what we have now are simply good, if not great games. The future doesn’t just look bright for the Blue Blur, it may be looking better than it ever has.
