SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS

AMAZING. this game genuinely ROCKS. both games even the sonic generations part is kinda of lackluster for a so called "remaster", but shadow generations makes up for it by being one of the entries in the whole franchise, and im sure it was sonic team's letter to the fans saying they are STILL capable of making the GOOD stuff we have been craving since... well, generations' release in 2011. AMAZING game and im so glad i got this for my birthday!!

원작을 해보고 리마스터도 해보지만 역시 명작은 명작입니다. 다시해도 질리지가 않네요. 그리고 추가로 나온 섀도우 에피소드, 그동안 섀도우의 매력이 출연작과 게임 시스템때문에 잘 안드러났지만, 이번작에서 제대로 섀도우가 소닉하고 뭐가 다른지 제대로 알게되었습니다. 스테이지가 잘 짜여져 있고 무엇보다도 오픈월드 스테이지도 괜찮았습니다. 소닉팀이 이대로 쭈욱 수작 이상으로만 잘 내주면 좋겠네요. 소닉 만세!

Already a huge fan of Generations so when this remaster was announced they had my money the second I knew Blind Squirrel games weren't handling it. As for Sonic Generations: This is a nice remaster, the original game but almost better in every way. But I DO have some gripes: 1. Classic Sonic feels more off than he did in the original game, I swear he feels heavier here. I was struggling to make some of these jumps to alternate pathways and badnik bounce WAY more than I did back on the original, Heck I booted up the original and It genuinely felt better to control 2. Collision detection is wonkier, THIS could just be me being nostolgia blind, but there were several notable times throughout my playthrough where the Sonics just...weren't doing what I was pressing. Like if I pressed the jump button as Sonic was turning around it would ignore my directional input at times, the homing attack for springs is more finicky to lock on, and Classic Sonics attack range for his jump is extremely short. 3. The writing is...worse. I'm already not on board with changing something as drastic as the dialogue, if it was 1 or 2 lines that'd be one thing, but the whole game?? It was a weird choice and the writing that replaces it crosses the line of the characters throwing a nod to past games here and there to literally EVERY LINE being a direct reference to a past game. It grades on you when they force it down that hard. 4. Planet Wisp still sucks Now for the new expansion: Shadow Generations: I loved this! And I really don't have many issues with it. The story is good if a bit retready of Shadow's solo games plot, but the writing is overall good and I enjoyed every character, especially Rouge and Omega. Black Doom was also great to have back, him being stuck to one game was a tragedy. I like the Doom powers too, the last one takes some getting used to but its great once you get it down. OH and the LEVEL DESIGN IS SOO GOOOOOOOOD I'm genuenily amazed that they made levels this good, they're fast- keep you on your toes, and have an incredible amount of depth and exploration. If we get mainline game with levels like these it has a good chance of being one of the best games in the franchise. I DO think the open zone concept needs some work though. It's handled way better here than it was in frontiers but it's still not where I think it needs to be. I think Sonic Team want to make it a larger part of the games but don't really know how without filling it with nothing but busy work. That's all I really gotta say about this game(s), I highly recommend them if you like platformers or speed based games, It also goes on sale often too so its also dirt cheap half of the time so you have little excuse. Play it.

(Given that this game contains 2 games, this review will be split in half) [h1] Sonic Generations [/h1] Playing this game just for the story is a breeze. The game is very short and can be completed in a few hours (2-3) in one sitting... but getting 100% will take you significantly longer. The controllers are as smooth as they can be. The newer gen graphics make it look super clean and the skills give you enough variety that you get to try a different approach every time. That being said, the skills are a bit meaningless. Yes, you can have your own custom set of 5 different abilities, but other than [spoiler] Super Sonic [/spoiler], nothing really breaks the game or your run; ultimately it all comes down to how fast you can clear the level. The fact that you can change the music of any level is one of my favorite things tho. Listening to Live & Learn when fighting Shadow is just pure beauty. The challenges can get a bit repetitive as they are very short and for the most part not too challenging or transformative, but they're just an added bonus in case you want to complete the game at 100%. The new edition of this game also added a few different lines of dialog and added Chao to unlock in the game. Some of this Chao are INSANELY HIDDEN, but never in an unfair way. Every single Chao was found without using a guide because levels are not so incredibly big that finding them would be impossible, and it's a fun extra challenge to find all 3 on every level. Also finding the 5 red rings! But those were on the original version of the game too. Still, a fun addition when trying to unlock everything. Side note: This might just be the worst final boss battle of any Sonic Game ever. And I have seen The End too. Overall, the game it's great but I feel like it offers little content for those who are not looking to 100% it. [b]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b] [h1] Shadow Generations[/h1] Now THIS is why you bought this game. Let me say it right away: It's incredible. Movement is one of the smoothest in the game series, soundtrack is yet again amazing and graphics are probably the best they've ever been excluding maybe Sonic Racing Crossworlds. The animations are good and the voice acting is too. Gameplay wise, it offers a lot of variety between stages challenges and Hub World. The Stages feel like the appropriate length and have a fair level of difficulty (You will likely not get an S rank in all of them in one go). The boss battles are different than their original encounter in the best way possible, so they feel like a breath of fresh air. The challenges expand the regular levels with actual difficulty, not tediousness. The Hub World is probably the most entertaining of them all: It's huge. There is a lot to explore and the game really wants you to explore all of it in case you actuall want to find every single chest (The last unlockable took me 4 hours to find). One negative thing to point out is that, much like in Sonic Generations, side characters stay too much on the side. Granted, on this game they have a LOT more involvement in the story, but nothing gameplay-worthy, just story-wise... Oh that reminds me! The story is GORGEOUS. It's impossible not to shed a tear by the end of this game. Not only that but collectibles expand the lore of Shadow even further giving you a deeper look at his backstory, mainly through [spoiler] Dr. Gerald's journal. [/spoiler] There is very little to criticize about this game. It's amazing. And if you're a Sonic fan or even if you have only played SA2 and want more Shadow-- or even if you haven't played any other Sonic game and just have a crush on Shadow, definitely give this a go. [b]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b] [h1] Final thoughts... [/h1] TL;DR Even if Shadow Generations by itself were to cost the full price it would still be worth it, so the fact that you get 2 games for the price of one, for cheaper than the original game was on console, is an absolute bargain. More companies should follow SEGA's policy when it comes to remakes.

Que jogo gostoso! Já tinha jogado o Sonic Generations e continua uma experiência legal, mas o destaque total é a nova parte com o Shadow que é absolutamente SENSACIONAL!!! Algumas das melhores fases de Sonic no geral pra mim, vale muito a pena!
