    The game is one of the hardest in the series, the bosses are still awesome and the old-school challenges will keep you pulling your hair out for months.

    Mega Man 10 doesn't need high-resolution textures to turn heads and be an absolute blast to play.
  3. Game Informer

    Overall, Mega Man 10 offers all the nuts and bolts a diehard blue bomber fan could want in a retro sequel, while boasting even more content than Mega Man 9 with all its DLC combined. The game's technical ambitions are modest and it's not a life-changing experience, but it delivers nostalgic fun in truckloads.

    This tenth entry in the core series stands toe-to-toe with its predecessors in terms of gameplay and charm, and provides more content than pretty much any of them.

    Mega Man 10 is a wonderfully challenging package wrapped up in a charming, 8-bit time capsule. It has its tongue planted firmly in cheek and delivers a ridiculously fun experience for all.

    The formula may be a little over 22 years old, but Mega Man 10 shows that it’s still more than capable of delivering just as much fun as it did all those years ago.

    Mega Man 10 is easily a better game than 90% of what we play on a yearly basis. And you can take that to the bank.

    While the jump from the new Easy mode to the standard Normal difficulty is a bit too sharp, the game still does a fantastic job of capitalizing on the series’ best elements.
  10. Cheat Code Central

    With the addition of Proto Man, a challenge mode, and an easy mode for beginners, Mega Man 10 has more to offer than 9 and can be fun for almost any player, not just the longtime fans.

    The Blue Bomber’s new adventures in 8 bit are still plenty of fun but, this game leaves you wondering, for how much longer?

    Hard as nails, but still incredibly satisfying. [Issue#192, p.97]

    In an industry that moves forward with such pace, it's refreshing to find a series that is content to stay right where it is.

    And again, I repeat: This game is really goddamn hard.
  15. Gaming Target

    Even though it's more of the same old, same old (a charge that killed the classic Mega Man series back in the SNES/PSone days), Mega Man 10 is a pretty good 2D platformer and Mega fans will thoroughly enjoy it.
  16. Eurogamer Portugal
    80
    With nearly 10 euros you gain access to a product with a low budget, but safe and solid as an iron bar in the execution.

    Mega Man may not be as captivating and "new" as Mega Man 9, but the latest adventure of the Blue Bomber will not leave you disappointed. If anything, it will make you ask for more.
  18. GameSpot
    80
    The 10th installment in this long-running franchise proves that some formulas don't need to change.
  19. Eurogamer Spain

    A game that was great, is great and will be great forever.
  20. Gaming Age

    Overall, while the game is still a great Mega Man title, it doesn't nearly live up to the fun of its predecessor.

I don't give it a perfect score because not everyone can sit down and play it, save for the most hardcore of gamers. Having said that, the game is a blast to play. There's lots of replay value (challenges and time attack), the leaderboards provide something to brag about, and the game itself comes with trophy support. If you have a thirst for a real challenge and are quite fond of 8-bit graphics, this is the game to buy. I love it.… Full Review »

There are old games I played and gameplay and story makes you forget about graphics but this one is not one of them, and I played much older games which looked better. 45 min or so was how much I could play before deleting it.… Full Review »

I remember buying it the very day it was released, just because of the hype about the game at that moment.

    Mega Man 10 is one those 2D classic games with an insane difficulty and addictive controls. I guess it could have been significantly better considering its success in the past, but it is still a decent game (especially for the staunchest fans).    … Full Review »
