A re-release of Sonic Generations just came called Sonic × Shadow Generations that ads a new campaign just for Shadow. Sonic Generations was already the best of the boost-style Sonic games but the Shadow Generations portion they added might be even better.

From the 2D side of things Sonic Mania is really good and there’s also a port of all the old Mega Drive games to the same engine on modern systems called Sonic Origins.

Sonic Frontiers is janky as all hell but I also love it and it’s honestly just really fun to move around in an open world as Sonic and I feel like the first game where they were finally figuring out how to actually do boss fights for Sonic (though they are still also janky as hell).
