>Sonic X Shadow Generations
Pretty good. I wish we got a stage dedicated to Shadow 05, and more bosses, but for what it is, It's awesome.
After replaying it so much, playing base Generations takes some getting used. Being able to turn in an instant feels way more natural. I still love base Generations, but I love the new control scheme in this and Frontiers.
The budget increase from Frontiers is quite apparent. While I'll always miss the stylization of the Dreamcast era, the game does look quite good. This was also, as far as I know, made by the B-Team, so I'm excited to see what the new, bigger A-team will make, probably in the sequel to Frontiers.
The bosses were great, specially Mephiles and Devil Doom. I love the new format of making Act 1 fully 3D, and Act 2 fully 2D. If they make more boost games, they should stick to that.
I liked the story too. Not as dramatic as I thought it would be, from the Dark Beginnings prologue, but still able to take itself seriously.
All in all, a great step for the franchise.
>Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)
Much, much better than movie 1 and 2. So good.
The closest comparison that leaps to mind is a 90s Dragon Ball Z movie. Not only because of the Super Saiyan climax, but the movie itself is very fast-paced, action-packed and doesn't allow for much room to breathe, for better or for worse. I'll gladly take it over the wedding scenes in 2 though.
Some people find Ben Schwartz's Sonic "cringy", but aside from a couple of jokes, I liked both the voice and character. It feels like it has gotten better as the movies go on.
The CGI is gorgeous to look at, specially in the big screen. The difference between this and the first movie is night and day.
