Really super super charming game. In my effort to play all of the canon Mega Man games, I've finally reached the Legends games, my last stop!

Very briefly I was put off by this game, but I was sucked in pretty easily. The voice acting, animations, and characters are all unbelievably charming. I love Tiesel and the Bonnes, every scene with him was great, and I loved seeing MegaMan's facial expressions change when something fucky was going down.

Graphically this game isn't winning any awards, but the artstyle was so cute and the character designs were so adorable I give it the fucking pass.

Overall the gameplay was alright except for some jank controls. I heard this was like "The Legend of Zelda" of Mega Man games, and it does kind of feel like that, but it had its own unique charm to it. The dungeon designs were all kind of samey, but as per usual with the games I play, the bosses were the highlights.

In particular, I really really loved the final boss. Lore in Mega Man games usually goes pretty hard, and they saved those bits for the end of this one, which was really appreciated. Watching the final boss cutscene made me think, "Yes!!!! This is a Mega Man game!!!!" I am truly interested in what the deal is with the story, and I'm excited to play Legends 2 to get the scope of it!!

Overall, fun game, unbelievably charming, and I can't wait to play 2!
