Sonic X Shadow Generations [PAL] - Playstation 4
In Sonic X Shadow Generations, players take on the role of Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic, as well as Shadow the Hedgehog to stop the world from being taken over once again, with their stories being separated into two unique, fast-paced action platformers. Time comes to a screeching halt in Sonic Generations during Sonic the Hedgehog's birthday party, which his friends decide to throw as a surprise for the hedgehog. Unfortunately, the party doesn't get very far, because a mysterious entity shows up and pulls Sonic and his friends into strange time portals, separating everyone from each other in an instant! Eventually, Sonic wakes up to find himself stranded in an odd, white colorless void with none of his friends around or anything he recognizes. However, Sonic is not alone; the chaos caused on the timeline has brought back another Sonic, this Sonic being from the past! Both Sonics realize they are traveling through time and space, revisiting locations they recognize and have been to many times before. Now you have to play as both Sonics and work together to speed through levels and places from their past to find their friends and restore the timeline like it was before!
Aboard the Space Colony ARK, however, a different perspective to this story is being told. After GUN detected an unusual bio-signature aboard the satellite, Shadow the Hedgehog almost immediately realizes something is very wrong. Effectively missing Sonic the Hedgehog's surprise party, he sets out to go aboard the ARK, and he doesn't plan to leave until he figures out what is causing this anomaly. Shadow quickly begins to observe very strange things happening on the ARK, and he immediately tries to chase down the culprit. This is where the events of Sonic Generations come into play, where right as Shadow finds out who is causing these strange occurrences, he is sent to his own colorless void, with no trace around him of what he just witnessed. As you play through Shadow Generations, you go on to not only restore life and color to the world like in Sonic Generations, but you also reveal more and more secrets about his past, uncovering the truth behind this foe's motives and about Shadow himself...
As a remaster of the original 2011 game, Sonic Generations has been enhanced with a stunning higher resolution, higher-quality visuals, and a crisp, smoother framerate. This game brings back the Chao, which are now scattered around and can be found in each Act of the game. There's also been changes to Sonic himself, as he has a slightly different moveset with different controls, as well as the "Drop Dash," which returns once again from its original debut in Sonic Mania. In Shadow Generations, the game is heavily focused on Shadow and his own narrative, where he revisits his own set of locations from previous games he was playable in. Shadow receives a selection of new powers titled "Doom Powers," which allow him to harness energy he was previously unable to. The player can use these powers and abilities to their advantage, allowing for easier traversal and performance across the game. These powers come in handy, as they are often required to progress through certain parts of the game and even certain parts of the story.
