Start to a legendary franchise, admittedly I am bias when it comes to this one as I played it very young but I can see it has some very rough edges especially with difficulty but if you solider through it I think you will have a great time

Although there are only 6 Robot masters as opposed to the 8 that becomes the series standard, the 6 provided are iconic and fun to fight against and for a new player I think it is also pretty easy to figure out boss weaknesses, controls are probably as stiff as you can get with this series as Mega Man isnt able to do much other then run jump and shoot

This game (along with the rest of the franchise) is one I come back to almost yearly, do a quick run-through and end it off with a big smile on my face. For the time especially, Mega Man came out of the gate strong as can be, even with the first entry you've got that great OST the series is known for. Also with modern platforms you are able to use features such as save states and the rewind feature making it easier then ever to get into the franchise, that being said it is a very difficult game but not Ghosts N Goblins levels of unfair and this difficulty will be fine tuned as you make your way through the franchise

Solid 8/10
