Mighty No. 9 is a very controversial game to say the least, from it's Kickstarter Campaign being a mismanaged clusterfuck to it's eventually release and lukewarm reception, it's a game that's been lambasted and roasted to high hell, but personally I feel Mighty No. 9 is overhated, does it have problems? oh yes it does! from inconstant difficulty to equally inconstant level design, it's a game that's riddled with NES era bullshit, from bottomless pits, instakill spikes and instakill boss attacks,

it's a game that wears it predecessor on it's sleaves, but even with all those complaints aside MN9 can be a very fun experience, once you memorize the levels and boss patterns it can be quite enjoyable, personally this comes from trying to clear levels as quickly as possible while obliterating and absorbing every thing in you're path, I use my favorite Weapon that being the 'Remote Cannon' which is a big fuck you bomb to every enemy in the vicinity, but my least favorite would have to be the 'Electric Seed', it fires 5 projectiles and if stuck slowly drains enemies of health I genuinely didn't see any use for this, not for normal enemies anyway, for bosses with a gigantic hitbox it's actually kinda decent,

my favorite level would probably be the Capitol Building in which you have to dodge bullets that can sometimes follow you, and eventually navigate through instakill tripwires, my least favorite would probably be the Power Planet, it's very basic and uninteresting, only notable things about it are the power generators that you have to carefully slide under other wise you die and that the lights in the level will flicker on and off, although that's completely undermined by the fact that aside from the opening of the stage you always have some form of light leading you where to go, would have been neat if it was a bit more tricky on where you need to go,

but yeah Mighty No. 9 is just an ok game that can sometimes be stupidly unfair, genuinely wish it got a second chance with a direct sequel.
