Man, they really did just release a Mega Man that's peak visual style, peak level design, peak boss design, and peak weapon variety that could've acted as the template for a Mega Man 12 and beyond but just didn't.
This one has such cool theming and an awesome set of robot masters, and again with a lot of cool robot master weapons. And the speed and power gears are cool but simple addition befitting of something like a modernized Classic-Series Mega Man. And it does the Mega Man 8 thing where it has the perfect median of allowing the Robot Masters voice lines to express their personality without holding repetitive conversations with Mega Man himself that end up just slowing down the pace.
I just wish the Wily Stages were a bit more fulfilled, because the two that feel like fully realized levels are some of the best Mega Man platforming challenges in the whole franchise.
