People will no doubt call Sonic X Shadow Generations a “love letter” or “tribute” to Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic’s brooding rival who debuted back in 2001’s Sonic Adventure 2. But as a person who grew up seeing the black-and-red hedgehog as the emotional center of the franchise,

Sonic X Shadow Generations brilliantly remasters one of the best Sonic the Hedgehog games for modern systems, with an extra Shadow-themed cherry on top.

When Sonic Generations dropped in 2011, it was almost like a reinvigoration of the franchise; taking classic and modern Sonic and pairing them together, experiencing the best of 2D and 3D worlds, and paying homage to the history of the series in a neat little package.

Sonic X Shadow Generations effectively captures the best moments of Sonic Adventure 2's stages in a collection that goes beyond a typical remaster.
