Sonic X Shadow Generations review: Is this the best Sonic release in years?, writes PETER HOSKIN


PETER HOSKIN: There might be some who prefer the Zelda-esque expansiveness of 2022's Sonic Frontiers. Or others who go in for the retro-perfection of 2017's Sonic Mania

A full half of this game is a remastered version of the 13-year-old Sonic Generations, which was itself mostly a redo, in both 2D and 3D, of classic levels from hedgehog history. This is still one of the most important games in the modern choose-your-own-adventure genre - which also includes the Life is Strange series, The Quarry and As Dusk Falls - in which you mostly make progress through conversational choices. This is still a slick and cinematic experience in which recognisable actors, such as Hayden Panettiere and Rami Malek, lend their voices and likenesses to a bunch of kids staying - perhaps unwisely - in a cabin in the woods.
