Sonic x Shadow Generations Switch 2 review - the ultimate lifeform

It’s not always easy being a Sonic fan. Sometimes, you wait for what feels like an eternity for a new adventure with the Blue Blur, only for it to be an underwhelming venture.

Luckily, in 2024, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that it truly was the year of Shadow, with Sonic x Shadow Generations being a game Sonic fans long deserved. It’s both a remaster and something new, with the Sonic portion being a spruced-up version of Sonic Generations from 2010, while the Shadow side of the game is brand new, offering a campaign with one of the best Sonic characters. So, while we know that the best Sonic game we’ve seen for some time is a killer time on other platforms, how does it fare on the Nintendo Switch 2? Is Sonic’s most recent outing worthy of a spot in your library for the new console? Our Nintendo Switch 2 review highlights that Nintendo’s latest hardware offers quite the performance upgrade over its predecessor. Meanwhile, my Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 review is a testament to the fact that the console can run games that are much more demanding than Sonic x Shadow Generations, which should give you a hint as to how well it runs on the system.
