Have you given Sonic X Shadow Generations a whirl yet? If you haven’t, now’s the ideal moment to dive in. It’s slashed to just $29.99 / £27.99 for Black Friday—knocking $20 off its launch price from a little over a month ago. Don’t take this as a sign of issues—Sega often marks down even its best games during the Black Friday frenzy. This is hands down one of the top gaming deals of the season.
For just 30 bucks, you’re getting a remastered Sonic Generations alongside the definitive Shadow experience in Shadow Generations. It’s a stellar combo that I reckon could be a contender for game of the year. Whether you’re a die-hard Sonic aficionado or just dabbling, this is one experience you shouldn’t pass up—especially at this steal of a price.
IGN’s own Jada Griffen gave the game a solid 9, raving, “Sonic X Shadow Generations takes an already awesome game and rockets it to new levels at lightning speed by doubling the campaign length with creative level design, amazing bosses, heaps of collectibles, and a noticeable graphical boost.”
Though the brand-new Shadow content might be brief on its own, it adds a refreshing shift to the collection of classic Sonic stages that Generations already boasts. Plus, there’s an engaging new story that unfolds as you explore the overworld for collectibles, activities, and challenges.
This enhanced remaster soars way beyond any previous updated versions we’ve seen in the Sonic series, setting a high benchmark for Sega when considering future revivals of other Sonic titles.
If you’re eyeing more Switch deals this Black Friday, keep your eyes peeled!
Speaking of Black Friday, it officially lands on November 29, 2024. However, the wave of holiday deals kicks off much earlier. Many retailers have already started dropping deals online. As we edge closer to the big day, expect even more discounts to roll out. Although retailers keep their most jaw-dropping Black Friday discounts under wraps until the day itself, you can snag some decent savings well in advance, much like the epic Sonic deal.
