I'll be honest, I'm not really gonna be able to give an actual review for this game, because I really just don't feel like playing it anymore. It's more boring and more frustrating than X2, and I kind of just don't really care to finish it.

I did at least get through the main 8 mavericks, and I did come away with a few issues that hinder my fun. For one, the armor set additions kind of suck, especially the buster. It's a cross-shot kind of idea, but the charge up shot for it either alone or timed to get the cross shot feels too imprecise and non damaging for the amount of time it requires to charge. The airdash is alright, but I still kind of just like a normal airdash being honest...

I think most of the bosses are alright, but a lot of them break really easily under their weakness weapon. The other 2 required fights in Bit and Byte are really unfun, and basically make the X-Hunter issue worse by forcing the player to fight them. Vile is a cool return tho.

Last thing, I think a thing that's easy forget but annoying all the same is this game's issue with respawning enemies after offscreening them for a bit is too unruly sometimes, especially since the basic enemies themselves are more stifling than endearing.

I don't think it's really my worst mega man experience, part of my boredom is that I'm just wanting to get to X4, but also part of my boredom is it feels like x2 but worse, which felt like x1 but worse. I think it does say something though that I just don't want to finish it after putting up with some of the bullshit in the other games.

Oh yea and before I forget, here's the mavericks ranked (Keep in mind a lot of them are very boring but i'll try something)

8. Neon Tiger
7. Blast Hornet
6. Gravity Beetle
5. Volt Catfish
4. Tunnel Rhino
3. Blizzard Buffalo
2. Crush Crawfish
1. Toxic Seahorse
