50 euros for 3 hours ?

[Gonsnakex]

is it worth it? I feel like there is no enough content to justify spending 50 euros

[Zave]

Thats only the main shadow campaign, thats not including the challenge acts, collecting everything in white space, and competing with others in speedrun rankings.

I'd say it depends on how much you think you'll replay Shadow's portion of the game. All his stages have so many alternate routes I haven't even finished exploring them at 12 hours in.

To avoid spoiling it I will not say what, but right at the end of the game you also obtain something that allows you to revisit all the stages using a new traversal method (which when used, saves as a separate best time for the stage than your regular run). If something like that tickles your fancy you'll definitely get a lot more time out of the game.

If not, and you can avoid spoilers because this game's story is actually pretty solid, wait for a sale.

11hours to 100% the shadow generation part
probably gonna put about the same to 100% sonic generation part.
And it's fun.

[Scrapjack]

You're right, 3 hours would not be enough content, so thank god that's not the case

[GrimAtrament]

You can beat sonic gen in about 4 hours so it's basically a 25$ split between the two games.

And that's not even considering 100% or replayability.

most expensive DLC in history. if you want to play the shadow DLC , just play frontiers. it’s literally frontiers gameplay & graphics re-skinned

If you want a full breakdown, Sonic Generations takes about 5 hours to finish if you're taking your time/not rushing. If you skip cutscenes and just go for the main objectives, knowing what you're doing, you can easily cut that down to like an hour. To collect everything there is to collect, you're probably adding another 3-4 hours to the game, more if you're going for challenge stage S Ranks, with that you can easily spend 20 hours just getting everything right here. On top of that, you also get Shadow Generations, which for all intents and purposes is the same. There's about 5 hours of campaign, but completing everything in Shadow, in spite of being smaller in content, can take a lot longer due to the content at end game being substantially harder to S Rank than anything in Sonic Generations. So altogether, you are looking at anywhere from 2-10 hours of main campaign, depending on how much you rush it, and possibly another 20 hours to collect everything, and S Rank all the challenge stages. So just to complete the objectives set to you by the game, you're looking at upwards of 30 hours altogether. Whether that's worth it for you will depend entirely on how much you actually enjoy Sonic games.

Frontiers wish it had stages like Shadow Generations, Frontiers is just re-skinned Unleashed, Generations, SA2 using the same 4 color palettes.

Yeah this is so identical to frontiers I have no clue why they even bothered making another one. It's exactly the same game except with different levels, different physics, different story, different hub, diff- oh

To be fair the physics are pretty much the same as Frontiers just without some things like homing dash, spin dash, and the momentum options.

Frontiers/Shadow DLC are both shallow corridor levels that play themselves. Frontiers looks & plays absolutely NOTHING like unleashed, at all. You had to be trolling with that one just to get a knee-jerk reaction from me , because there’s no way you could say that with a straight face . Comparing frontiers to unleashed is like comparing a 2022 sedan to a 2008 super car.

Sure if you don't actually try to go for all the alternate paths.

Didn't say they played like Unleashed and them not looking like Unleashed is part of the problem its all just drug trip green hill, chemical plant, and sky sanctuary.

my file has 16 hours on it just from replaying levels for better times and ranks, getting all the collectibles, doing all the hard mode challenges, etc. I definitely feel like I've gotten my money's worth

[Kibōchen]

Yeah, I really don't think the price is worth it. Even if it's technically two games (a very short glimpse into the future of Sonic games and a 13-year-old remaster), $50 really isn't worth it especially in this economy. I'd wait for a sale if you're not a hardcore fan.
