    hear me out on this one

    this is a short and fun game, my main problem with it is the the bad collision detection with the platforming, the blockman stage being a good example, when the blocks fall into the conveyor belt, after destroying all the obstructing blocks i still get stopped from advancing because of "invisible walls" because of the imprecise collision and hitbox detection,

    this is a short and fun game, my main problem with it is the the bad collision detection with the platforming, the blockman stage being a good example, when the blocks fall into the conveyor belt, after destroying all the obstructing blocks i still get stopped from advancing because of "invisible walls" because of the imprecise collision and hitbox detection, excuse me capcom but thats the most important mechanic in a platforming game, i had another similar issue in the bounce man stage, the bouncing mechanic of that stage was not great at all it ruined an otherwise fun stage!!

    thats why i give it a 7 out of 10, if not for the aforementioned issues and short lifespan of the game, i would give it a 8.5 out of 10,
    the game is still fun the different weapons are a blast, the bestiary is creative, boss and megaman transformation designs great, the replay value is there thanks to the power ups accessible post game

    I could have done without the dual gear system. Over-complicating Mega Man just takes away from that classic, simplified feel.

    I don't know how to say the next part without sounding like an idiot, but I found the game to be too hard then way too easy. The levels drag on forever and the bosses aren't exactly cakewalks. But once you discover the store you can make yourself unkillable.

    + Unique bosses and levels that fit the gimmick
    + Music
    + Platforming

    - Dual gear system
    - Levels on the long side
    - Shop makes game too easy

    The game is okay, but it's not the best game in the Mega Man Classic style. For starters it controls too much like those games, despite the fact that controls have improved greatly since then, yet at the same time it has moments in it's stages that are very much like Mega Man X, which is fine, but a little jarring given the differences between the two series.

    The stages themselves are

    The stages themselves are mostly fantastic, but Bounce Man's is unbearably annoying to get used to and the controls making it even worse. The story is okay, but the voice acting is abysmal, like Mighty No. 9 bad at times, to the point where you wonder why they had it in the first place, and it just doesn't work as well as it should.

    If anything, a Mega Man Classic game in this style is fine, but it's also a reminder that we need to move on from that style a bit, because it's very nature in this day and age means it's going to be lacking in some regards. Releasing a Mega Man Classic style as an occasional side project is fine, but I'd rather have a game in the X, Mega Man Zero, or Legends style nay day of the week.

    Still, for it's shortcomings and frustrations, this game can be a ton of fun, and that's the main point of any game, to be enjoyable. I just, think I would have enjoyed it more if it were called Mega Man X9 or god forbid, Mega Man Legends 3.

    Just another Megaman... A very plain one.
    When i think about Megaman 8, i can still hear the music in my mind, or recall the clown level or the ice skate level, or remember the flying robot on the fortress. But this one is just... forgettable.
    About the changes and new mechanics, i don't like the Gears system or how bolts are not collectible anymore but just coins. The only good thing

    The only good thing about the game is that even on normal, this game is hard enough, that give you a good reason to upgrade and buy stuff. So that's a good change compared to Megaman 8.
    In pretty much the whole playthrough all i could think was: Megaman is stuck, the structure feel dated, i don't want to play the same game again. Megaman needs an evolution, maybe a reboot. Let's make a good story for a change or more/longer bosses, or different types of levels, even a new fckng final Boss that is not yet again Dr.Willy-on-a-skull! Compared to other games of this genre, Megaman 11 feels old and barebone, Megaman can not even shoot upwards after all this decades...

    No crucial changes, no revolution – that’s new Mega Man’s primary problem. It’s a really good platformer, but it lacks a spark, so I won’t try to make everyone I meet play it, like I did with Mega Man X. If you’re not passionate about the little blue robot, you can sit this one out. [12/2018, p.88]

    A charming and challenging retro robo romp that'll delight long-time fans and newcomers alike. [Issue#336, p.76]

    This deftly made return to Mega Man revives the core series beyond being a novel retro throwback, giving it a gorgeous coat of fresh paint at the same time. [Issue#155, p.94]
