Best game ever made

One of the few games I constantly go back to, and everytime I discover something new

One of the best JRPGs out there. Amazing combat and story, good "plot twist" that I wasn't expecting at all. Also it has Walter.

Mega Man Battle Network is already peak media as a series, but MMBN5 is probably the best game in the series. The story is a bit more edgy but one of the best ones, gameplay is almost the best it has been (BN6 is better in this regard. Chips are better balanced and Crosses are more usable than Double Souls) and the liberation missions are amazing, their only downside is there aren't many of them in the game. The more I play this game, the more I like it

Best SRPG I've ever played, hands down

The game that started one of my favorite series, but also... The worst one. No escape option makes the game a slog. The Buster Max option in the Legacy Collection makes this game way more bearable, but it still lacks all the polish of later games.

Huge improvement over the first one. Styles are one of my favorite mechanics in the whole series, and makes BN2 and 3 hugely replayable. The game, like every other title in the series, suffers from some wonky writing and a lot of backtracking/tedious fetch quests, but honestly, if you're playing Battle Network, you do it for the gameplay, visuals and music, and they're all here.

Great ending to the first trilogy. Style change + Navi Customizer makes for great personalization. The story is great (for MMBN standards), backtracking and fetch quests are still here, but much less compared to MMBN1 and 2.

Pain.

Gameplay-wise it's the strongest entry in the series. I really missed Liberation Missions, but everything else in the game is amazing. The story is cool, changing most of the side characters was a good move, as they got boring after 5 games. Classic MMBN filler is still here, but there's just so much content here that it's barely noticeable. CrossSoul is much better than DoubleSoul as a mechanic, and Beastcross enhances it even more. PvP is also at its best here.

It's peak.

A bit sluggish, but you got to respect the game for what it created. The Yellow Devil fight, without abusing glitches, is still one of my favorite boss fights ever.

Absolute classic.

It introduced Proto Man, and I'm grateful for that, but everything else in the game is painful. The lag is atrocious. I can understand the appeal, mostly because of nostalgia, but for me it felt extremely overrated.

Not much in the way of innovation, but a good game regardless.
