Mega Man Legends is almost 30 years old and I have had dozens of gaming experiences, and I still do not know how to discuss what makes Mega Man Legends sticks out to me like no other game does. I’m not trying to put it on some pedestal or anything, It’s not among my favorite games, even with nostalgia bias, and I even like its sequel more than this game. But I don’t think there’s a game that invokes quite a blend of comfort, mystery, excitement, horror and whimsy in a way as effectively like Mega Man Legends did.
The controls haven’t aged in a way that might be for everyone™ or whatever, but I think Mega Man Legends is still a game worth trying out to anyone who is trying out games in the PSX library, or those who like that genre of third-person action rpg-ish? games that was prevalent in the era. Despite the jank you’ll have to get used to, the Story, World, Cast and Game play here will definitely leave most gamers who like action games satisfied.
