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.

Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Lucas White
While it’s relatively short, Shadow Generations feels like someone took Sonic Frontiers and retroactively applied its secret sauce to an older 3D Sonic platformer, elevating it to heights previously unseen. Sonic Generations is a respectable remaster of a decent game, but pales in comparison.
Pure Nintendo: 6.5 / 10 by Trevor Gould
It took me a while to realize I wasn't having quite as much fun with Sonic X Shadow Generations as I expected, given the high praise of the 2011 console original. Such elevation likely reflects the quality of Sonic games declining over the past 20 years, as even the better new titles can't reach the peak of the '90s classics. Combine that with no upgrade for existing owners, and Sega has made it challenging to recommend this one on Switch 2. Many players would be better off with Sonic Mania or Origins. But if you're a diehard fan who hasn't played this yet, wishlist it and wait for a discount-you'll be safe knowing that, even though it's showing its age more than most would care to admit, you're sure to find some entertainment.
Game Informer: 8.5 / 10 by Brian Shea
The potent combination of Sonic and Shadow Generations makes a strong case for being the best package of 3D Sonic content we’ve ever seen. It’s simultaneously a celebration of the series’ past while hinting at the exciting future on the horizon.
