So I recently finished playing Shadow Generations and I loved it. So much of the gameplay and level design impressed me, feeling like a much more refined Frontiers/Forces. I also loved the inclusion of the Chaos Control/Doom Power mechanics

As for the selected bosses, I loved how they were all PERSONALLY tied to Shadow in some capacity & played on his backstory. With Biolizard, they were both experiments- made to be the Ultimate Lifeform, with Metal Sonic/Overlord they are both literal 'fake' hedgehogs &
if you interpret that Shadow was modeled after the Sonic based on the mural from SA then it only amplifies this, there is also ofc Mephiles who also created in a lab like shadow & literally takes after his form, and then there's Devil Doom- Shadow's creator.
I adore Shadow's arc in this game where despite his power growing immensely to the point where he starts to look like Doom & becoming more aggressive, he still fulfills Maria's wishes and embark on his own path, proving that he is NOT like Doom or any of the other bosses.
My Goat is NOT some one-note edgelord character and I appreciate this game not shying away from showing more of his vulnerable side- such as seeing him smile warmly at Maria and also shedding a tear after their departure (which I don't have a SS of)

Also a lot of these powers allow for more opportunities to explore different parts and routes of a level and to finish it even quicker.
