    Unfair level design and the "hours to collision" mechanic is the worst thing they could have possibly done to a mega man x game. You can't even play every level twice prior to getting into the final parts of the game. So basically you can't play the game at your own pace, or switch levels if you are having a tough time, or get the collectibles you want, cause who likes to have fun playingUnfair level design and the "hours to collision" mechanic is the worst thing they could have possibly done to a mega man x game.

    This isn’t a game, it’s a play through. One of the most boring games I’ve played to date. The many endings that are RNG I think is very dumb.

Some of the fights are really good like Zero, Sigma phase 1, and Spiked Rosered specifically though. I’d rather play X7 over this, at least some of the parts are challenging.… Expand

    Nothing more than a fun, nostalgic 2D platforming romp that will only appeal to true hard-core fans.

    This is 2D action gaming at its best and I'll take this over almost any 3D adventure game or platformer any day of the week.

    Solid and consistent. If you loved 4 then you're almost certain to love 5. On the other hand if you've always hated Megaman then move on as this is truly more of the same.
