Sonic X Shadow Generations. Next Level

Sonic X Shadow Generations is an action 3D/2D Platformer game developed by ‘Sonic Team‘ and published ‘SEGA‘. Sonic X Shadow Generations is said to be coming out the 25th of October 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and PS5. X35 Earthwalker played Sonic Generations and had a good time. Sonic X Shadow Generations looking like it wants to bring the upgraded sauce. Let’s take a look.

Sonic X Shadow Generations isn’t playing around. The story is simple. It’s Sonic Generations but with Shadow and the shenanigans he brings. The so called ultimate life, who’s like 3 feet 3 inches tall, is here. So expect all the excellent action from Sonic Generations but add in the additional levels and whole new story side for Shadow on top of everything and that’s Sonic X Shadow Generations. Very simple to understand.

Shadow isn’t just dropped into the game but he also has his own thing going on. In Shadow’s campaign he faces off against an old foe… Black Doom. He’s trying to take over the world again… like they always do. Things are different this time. Shadow isn’t the same bummy hedgehog we all love. He’s going to become stronger… that’s right.

Shadow will get new Doom powers. These dark powers will shake things up for sure. So look out for the new stuff. Shadow may have to travel to the past, put together the timeline and even revisit some painful memories but on the lighter side shadow will get to surf on water, soar over those obstacles and you’ll like this one… stop time. That’s right! Chaos control is back. 

Sonic X Shadow Generations also has a “complete” remaster of Sonic Generations. There’s a system to let players go back to those levels, only now they have bee upgraded, especially visually. There’s also “new bonus content”. Fighting hordes of enemies as shadow is definitely a thing here and there’s suppose to be platforming challenges “like never before”. Definitely like to see what that’s about.

The white space has also been upgraded. This “all-new hub world” was inspired by the “open zone gameplay of Sonic Frontiers”. As you acquire new powers you will be able to go further, explore more and discover secrets and hidden stuff. So there’s clearly more to do. By the way, if gamers buy the Sonic X Shadow Generations Digital deluxe edition you’ll get a bunch of stuff but also get to play the game early.

We checked out some Sonic X Shadow Generations gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s sonic. It’s Sonic Generations but with more. There’s a lot of speed. There’s combat. There’s Shadow. There’s also a chao to rescue in each level, there’s also the casino for players to rack up the score. There’s a museum for your viewing pleasure including behind the scenes type art. A lot of good stuff so far in Sonic X Shadow Generations.

Overall Sonic X Shadow Generations looks like an excellent game. Graphics are top tier for sonic style standards. The music is going to be crazy. There’s so much options thanks to time travelled remastered previous levels. There’s more to do and find. Shadow gets upgrades as well. Good stuff right here. The developers ‘Team Sonic’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye not his game. Now Sonic X Shadow Generations may have shadow in there but he’s not ultimate enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
