Sonic X Shadow Generations - PC

Shadow Generations is a platform game that shifts between side-scrolling and 3D gameplay. Being included in Sonic X Shadow Generations, players can switch between Shadow Generations and a remaster of Sonic Generations(2011) at will. The events of Shadow Generations take place alongside those of Sonic Generations. The plot follows Shadow the Hedgehog as he faces his archenemy, the alien Black Doom, who has returned following his defeat in Shadow the Hedgehog(2005) and plots to take over the world.

Shadow serves as the player character and controls similarly to Sonic, but can stop time to freeze objects and access alternate paths using "Chaos Control". He can also use "Doom Powers", power-up transformations granting him new abilities. These include attacking enemies with multiple "Chaos Spears", launching enemies, transforming into a monster to traverse over terrain, flying, and surfing on water. Unlike Sonic Generations' side-scrolling hub world, the hub world in Shadow Generations is 3D and features open-world gameplay similar to that of Sonic Frontiers(2022), and players use it to become accustomed to Doom Powers.
