Jul 24, 2018Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 isn’t just a collection of faithful ports on new hardware, it’s a mix of some of the best Mega Man games with plenty of love and goodies. The addition of medals is a great way to encourage players to fully explore every title, and X Challenge is fun, if not disorganized at times. For players new to the Mega Man X series, this is where to begin.

Sep 10, 2018Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a collection of excellent games. Veterans will relive some of the best adventures of Mega Man, while newcomers will come to know why this series became so important in the history of this industry.

Sep 4, 2018The four games contained in Mega Man X Legacy Collection are arguably some of the strongest in existence. Whilst there's little to differentiate the first three titles, you owe it to yourself to experience them at least once.
-
Jul 30, 2018With Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1, you’re paying $19.99 for some of the greatest action platformers ever. That in itself justifies the purchase, even if X Challenge is a bit underwhelming. Anyone who has never played Mega Man X should absolutely buy this collection and change that. And for those who have played these games before, it’s probably worth their time and money to play them again.

Jul 24, 2018Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a fantastic re-release of several must-play gaming classics, presenting them as authentically as possible while still including a few modern features on top that help to improve the overall experience and keep it from feeling antiquated. Throw in the new X Challenge mode and an enormous archive of museum content and this stands as the definitive way to play the Mega Man X games in the modern era. Four fantastic games, a bevy of extra content, and the ability to play at home or on the go make this one an easy recommendation.

Jul 24, 2018Capcom may have inflated the value of this collection by making some of these games so hard to come by up until now, but it still earns high marks because of the high-quality emulation for four classic platformers and plethora of extras.

Jul 24, 2018If you're only going to get one of the Mega Man X Legacy Collections, definitely go for this one.
-
Jul 24, 2018At $20, this is honestly a bargain, especially considering the appeal of the first three titles in particular. In terms of quality, I’d rank them (perhaps unsurprisingly) as such: X, X2, X3, and X4. But they’re all worth experiencing if you’ve never done so before, and with the terrific presentation, true-to-form gameplay, and extensive bonus content, Legacy Collection is certainly the best way to go about it.

Aug 8, 2018Packing four incredible action games from the mid-'90s into one nostalgic package, Mega Man X Legacy Collection might not feature the entire X saga but it's certainly the best of it.
-
Aug 7, 2018Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a marvelous gathering of four magnificent games of the Mega Man X series, one of the best 2D platform series in the history of gaming. Featuring new gaming modes and plenty of customization options, this is certain to become an immediate hit with the fans which could have been even better if it included all the games of the Mega Man X series, rather than just the first four.
-
Jul 30, 2018Mega Man X Legacy Collection contains three of the best Mega Man X games ever made. It’s always a pleasure to play them. But we might have enjoyed a bit more content.
-
Jul 29, 2018Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a competent and interesting collection thanks to the games it contains. Unfortunately, it lacks different emulation characteristics which have appeared in previous games. This fact makes this game worse.
-
Jul 24, 2018This first Mega Man X compilation might seem a little short on content, but the pleasure to play through Mega Max X1 to 4 might be enough for most gamers of the 90's. With a wide museum gallery and some interesting bonuses, this collection just fail to deliver new strong modes, even though the newcomers will be more than pleased by the Rookie one.
-
Jul 24, 2018The first four Mega Man X games are fun nostalgia, though it sometimes feels like a case of deja vu.
