    Legacy Collection 2 is a roller coaster of emotions. Only about one and a half of the games in the box are actually good, but it will also complete the X series and fulfill hardcore fans.

    The second installment into the Mega man x series, unfortunately not as good as part 1.
    The game comes with a bunch of additional features such as the gallery and music (OST) which are really enjoyable for hardcore fans. Also a rookie hunter mode which really helps out people new to the series or assists you when getting through very difficult situations or bosses.

    X5 - a fantastic game which kept in good tradition to X4, fair difficulty, only downside is that there is a lot of back tracking if you want to collect everything. 9.5/10
    X6 - by far the most difficult and broken of the X games. Level design is lazy at times requiring certain items to progress and boss battles that I couldn't beat without using rookie mode. 5/10
    X7 - a very poor attempt to change into 3D, game feels rushed in so many aspects from level design to voice overs. Could be the worst in the series. 4/10
    X8 - a redemption from the previous 2 games, with better platforming and boss battles. Much more playable and the voice acting and story were done quite well 8/10
    Overall you could skip out on X6 and X7 and you wouldn't miss out on much, also avoid the frustration they bring. 7/10    … Expand

    The first Mega Man X Legacy Collection is amazing, but the second is pretty disappointing. I love experiencing the past but Mega Man X7 is a terrible, glitchy mess and Mega Man X8 is pretty mediocre in my opinion. Mega Man X5 and X6 are actually pretty great games. They have awesome tracks, level design, and I haven't encountered any bugs while playing them.

The battle mode is really fun and I love fighting 2 bosses at once. Overall, this is an okay legacy collection, but only Mega Man X5 and X6 are truly worth playing. Have a lovely day/night, folks!… Expand

    It's difficult to recommend Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 since it's so wildly inconsistent in its quality. What is essentially being offered is one game that's decent (albeit unmemorable), one that's sometimes great, and then two that are complete trainwrecks. That said, Mega Man X5 and Mega Man X8 are worth playing through as they're still fairly enjoyable in their own right. Otherwise, though, there's not much reason to check this out.

    Though I'm glad it exists purely from a historical interest point of view, these aren't the best X games or the best early-to-mid-2000s action games, and the commendable packaging and cleaning up here can't change that.

    Only X8 makes Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 worthy of serious consideration. [Issue #35 – September/October 2018, p. 65]
