If I had to tell you what is the perfect game, that does everything right for you, what game would it be? For me, it absolutely would be Mega Man X. MMX has to be the most perfect game that I have ever played, with all the music being absolute bangers, having memorable stages and memorable bosses as well!
First this game does a tutorial level that is disguised as the first level. It does what Mario games usually do, give you a small obstacle or problem layed out before you and has you figure out how to handle it yourself. Then it'll give you a different challenge that allows you to play around with what you have just learned. It's fantastic how fluid these sequences are and that's only in the first level!
It also gives you small story cutscenes where it gives you the incentive to become stronger than Zero, the other reploid that is out to get Sigma, and through the game you are gathering new armor pieces for X and the powerups from the bosses, thus getting stronger and stronger. You gotta love simple story telling that gives you a clear motif.
Besides all of those, all of the levels are clever and, if you are good enough, can breeze through them with ease. In fact if you know the order of stages you should go through, the levels themselves may change depending on what you have done to the prior stages.
There are secrets to find as well, whether its increasing your health or gaining energy tanks, it's fun finding everything to get yourself stronger....there is also another secret you can find after you find all the other secrets...but uh I'll let you figure out that one.
The music is amazing too, if I can a couple song to listen to, it would be Armored Armadillo's stage and Storm Eagle...both are crazy amazing!!!
Everyone please play this game, this is game design done completely right!
