8.5/10 Deducted half a point for the SEGA launcher pop-up; plus one point for making Chemical Plant Act 2 look flawless on a phone. Note: Sonic Generations is available on GeForce Now for all members (Free, Priority, Ultimate). Game must be owned on Steam. Mod support limited to Steam Workshop content only.
Enter . The question isn't whether Sonic Generations is a good game (it is). The question is: Does streaming this classic through the cloud enhance the experience or betray its fast-twitch, frame-perfect legacy?
Sonic Generations is surprisingly forgiving. The game has a "coyote time" mechanic (a few frames of leniency after leaving a ledge).

The "Save File" Paradox GeForce Now solves a niche problem unique to Sonic Generations : The Doom’s Eye.
