I haven't really played the original Mega Man line of games since I was little and I thought I'd give it a go. Surely they've taken some things from the more popular X series, right? Right? Nope, still very basic action platforming mostly retreading stuff that I remember seeing when I was younger and playing the older games (6 mostly).
I don't really know why this game exists apart from nostalgia. It doesn't look especially good and it plays a bit clunky. Which I think is part of the appeal? I dunno, I beat the 8 robot masters and walked away thinking the game wasn't for me. I don't mind a bit of nostalgia, but I didn't particularly enjoy this game. It's like nostalgic masochism. I don't think the games of old play particularly well in 2021 to begin with, and still having a lives system and unforgiving checkpoints seems extremely dated. And it's for a reason I can't appreciate, so I'm leaving this game. For now at least.
