It really seems like they tried too hard to course correct from X3 and made this game so easy. All the stages are so short especially the Sigma ones and there really wasn't many items to find (I can see this being a positive for most). Mega Man making shitty voices and cutscenes a staple now is hilarious. Cyberspace was easily my favourite stage for just being so fun to speed through. It did feel like a lot more stages just let you go super fast compared to the previous ones.

Zero is fun as fuck though so I'm glad for that. Despite my complaints I still loved everything else about it and rate it a bit higher than X2/X3.
If this is a preview of how the Mega Man Zero games will play like then I'm in for a great time.
