Hey all, I’m back with a Sonic series game that isn’t really talked about much for this week’s Retro Game Friday. It’s Shadow the Hedgehog. Gameplay: This plays like a somewhat typical Sonic game but also includes elements from third person shooters, of all things. This is probably why the title isn’t talked about much because there’s such a divergence between it and other past Sonic games.
