Shadow the Hedgehog Reloaded Mod Aims to Improve The Infamous Game

gamerant.com:

A mod is looking to improve the Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off Shadow the Hedgehog, adding several quality-of-life improvements and changes. When fans think of a period of low points for the long-running Sega franchise, it's around the mid-2000s. Before the critically maligned Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, there was the just as ridiculed Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off game. It was mocked for its attempts at being edgy, giving Sonic's red-and-black rival the spotlight through a focus on his amnesia and backstory. The game also gave Shadow weapons and a different gameplay loop in order to differentiate himself from Sonic, which fans immediately balked at.

Nowadays, Shadow the Hedgehog is viewed by some fans as a laughable game that did damage to Shadow's character, or by others as a game that had at least a smidgen of potential. This was the basis for Shadow the Hedgehog: Reloaded, a quality-of-life and enhancement mod of the original game that aims to make the gameplay less of a hassle, created by modders LimblessVector and dreamsyntax. In an interview with GameSpot, LimblessVector notes that there are a lot of strong points and fun ideas in Shadow the Hedgehog, but the game ended up being hampered by the level design and some other decisions.

Sonic Frontiers Mod Makes Shadow the Hedgehog Playable

This mod creates a less tedious gameplay loop by lowering the mission objective counts, increasing the objects, and even decreasing the number of Shadow the Hedgehog's endings needed to access Last Story. Not only that, but other changes were made to controlling Shadow himself, like making it so that he can swing melee weapons at a faster rate and giving the vehicles he drives a much smoother control scheme along with a speed boost.
