I have not been keeping up with the Sonic community so i'm not sure how hot or cold this take is. But it is the take that I have.

Sonic Generations is also pretty weak narratively- in comparison to Shadow Generations where it is far more potent in that area as it is a personal story revolving Shadow and his connection to Black Doom.

Though I love Sonic Generations and it excels at being this celebration of Sonic's history, I found a lot of the bosses and levels to be so lackluster and dull in comparison to Shadow Generations where everything is so refined and clean.

Love

My Goat is NOT some one-note edgelord character and I appreciate this game not shying away from showing more of his vulnerable side- such as seeing him smile warmly at Maria and also shedding a tear after their departure (which I don't have a SS of)

I adore Shadow's arc in this game where despite his power growing immensely to the point where he starts to look like Doom & becoming more aggressive, he still fulfills Maria's wishes and embark on his own path, proving that he is NOT like Doom or any of the other bosses.

if you interpret that Shadow was modeled after the Sonic based on the mural from SA then it only amplifies this, there is also ofc Mephiles who also created in a lab like shadow & literally takes after his form, and then there's Devil Doom- Shadow's creator.

As for the selected bosses, I loved how they were all PERSONALLY tied to Shadow in some capacity & played on his backstory. With Biolizard, they were both experiments- made to be the Ultimate Lifeform, with Metal Sonic/Overlord they are both literal 'fake' hedgehogs &

which further enhanced my experience with the game, making it more traverse as you surf over the water and fly around with the wings.

Also a lot of these powers allow for more opportunities to explore different parts and routes of a level and to finish it even quicker.

Sigh

Heh that’s the plan

WHAT you’ve played SMT4???

Hell yeah

Camille has relations to Vi, Cait, Jinx, Ekko etc. The Jayce/Viktor conflict should’ve been saved for Season 3, would’ve allowed everything to have more breathing room

Heh

Yep

Goated thread. I enjoyed reading this
