About
Shadow the Hedgehog is back with Classic and Modern Sonic in SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS, an all-new collection featuring two unique experiences!
Play as Shadow in a brand-new story campaign featuring never-before-seen abilities that prove why he’s known as the Ultimate Life Form! Speed through iconic stages from Shadow’s history, discover hidden secrets in an expansive hub world, and unlock new powers to take on Black Doom and save the world.
SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS also includes a complete remaster of the highly acclaimed SONIC GENERATIONS, a time-traveling adventure featuring a greatest-hits collection of 3D and 2D Sonic stages, now with upgraded visuals and new bonus content.
In a new standalone campaign, Shadow’s nemesis, Black Doom, has reemerged and threatens to take over the world once again. Shadow must journey into his past, confront his painful memories, and unlock new dark powers to save the world.
Relive signature levels from Shadow’s previous adventures and accelerate through mind-bending stages in both 3D and 2D, warped by Black Doom’s influence as Shadow works to piece together the timeline and thwart his evil plans.
Harness Shadow’s 5 new Doom Powers to battle hordes of enemies and tackle platforming challenges like never before. Surf on water, fly over obstacles, and stop time with the return of Chaos Control!
Explore the White Space, an all-new hub world inspired by the open-zone gameplay of Sonic Frontiers. As Shadow gains new powers, he can explore further and uncover the secrets hidden throughout!
Past meets present in SONIC GENERATIONS! When Dr. Eggman teams up with his past self and the mysterious Time Eater to erase their past defeats and rewrite history, they scatter Sonic and his friends across space and time. Now, Modern and Classic Sonic will have to team up to defeat this dastardly trio and restore their timeline to normal!
Spin dash through a greatest-hits collection of 3D and 2D versions of iconic stages from past Sonic games, now with updated visuals and reworked cinematics.
Rescue Chao hiding in every level, rack up the highest pinball score in the Casino Nights Zone, and check out the museum for behind-the-scenes art, music, and more!

I knew shadow was an aura farmer I just didnt know he was the best in the business (why tf did they feel the need to add sonic generations in this tho its not different in the slightest)
Great game honestly! But a great question to the Creators and Fans why this game fells better with the Devil May Cry them song like "Devil Triger" or "Burry the light" or "Devils never Cry"?
already a great game and shadow gens adds that cherry on top
Brutal
Took me about 7 hours to complete. Not a ton of stages but extremely well made and fun to play. Satisfying platforming. I'm a Sonic Adventure head and this was great
Shadow cara o Shadow vei!!!!
Joguei a campanha do Shadow, e posso dizer que é extremamente bom, gaste seu dinheiro nesse jogo, ele vale a pena, agora eu vou rejogar essa maravilha e pegar S em tudo
Jugar a este juego es como tener sexo pero mucho mejor
I feel comfortable rating this after only playing the Shadow part of it, I have a good amount of time in the original game so unless there's some game breaking bugs in this version I know what I'm expecting there. Sonic Generations is probably my second favourite 3D Sonic game, and I don't think it needed a remaster. I like the graphics and use of colour so much that it's my go to game to test a new monitor, and this still looks like Sonic Generations, albeit with higher scaling for all the graphics options if you want a 4k 120fps version of the game. I think they added a couple new features to the core game and I still recommend Sonic Generations, but if you already own the original or console version you're likely only buying it for the new content. Shadow Generations was kind of confusing to me conceptually at first, they did something similar in forces where they added a shadow dlc and it wasn't particularly interesting, so I didn't have high hopes for it, but it surprised me. You get a good amount of levels and boss fights, and an additional six hours for what's essentially an expansion pack included with another full game isn't a bad value. All the levels are well design and either meet or surpass the level design of the original game, you get some more historical Sonic levels (which don't ALL make sense for Shadow but they need an excuse to pull from more than like two games) On top of that you get a sonic frontiers style hub to run around in. I got the deluxe version so it came with the movie dlc and, that stage was surprisingly good. I think hearing keanu reeves going HUP. HAH. HYAH. is pretty good and worth the price of admission. I think there's especially a lot here for you if you're into shadow lore, and want an excuse to revisit it all, and they just stack a whole bunch onto shadow as a character. I think there's actually some good moments and good performances, as well as a pretty good ending. it's like Sega has writers now. Also the animation is really good and has a ton of work put into it, a lot of incidental stuff. The only thing I'd say is middling about the experience is shadow's moveset has too much on it, when most sonic characters are extremely simple single button gimmicks shadow has homing attacks, hold attacks, dashes, time stop, chaos spears, a glide, and several different forms for traversal. You can get used to it but it definitely took a lot longer to feel "good" than a sonic game normally would. I think that fits Shadow though, his stuff is always a bit overly complicated. The music is good, I don't think there were any stand outs for me in the same way the original Generations had (speed highway's remix is frankly incredible, as is stardust speedway) but they're good songs, and you get the originals if you prefer them. Also the map theme being an orchestral rendition of All Hail Shadow is very funny. This isn't a game related thing but I just want to point it out: Sega delisted the original version of the game to release this one, they also did this with origins, and most of their dreamcast classics which are yet to have a collection. It's just a really terrible practice on a baseline, but sometimes it leaves you with inferior, expensive version of the old games, it also absolutely destroys the communities around the older versions, which are already rich with mods because the games had workshop support. There was already a mod that put Amy into sonic the hedgehog and it's infinitely better than their half assed version of Amy they went with in the rerelease. Generations also had a ton of mods that now have to be ported to a, largely unnecessary rerelease of the same game that already looked fantastic. Anyways rant over, if you don't own generations this is probably worth it for full price, if you already played generations and you're just buying it for the shadow thing I'd say wait for a sale.
