Played on the Mega Man Legacy Collection on Switch. Every time I crave playing a Mega Man game, im always like trying to convince myself “Come on, its not that bad. You’ve played and beaten plenty of platformers, you’ll be fine.” Then I start playing, I’m enjoying myself, listening to the great music and appreciating that fun art style, occasionally using the rewind feature a couple times per level, but nothing too bad. Then the back half hits. And I am reminded why I take so long in between each of these games, abusing the rewind to a ridiculous extent. All this said though, its another Mega Man game. I still enjoyed my time with it at the end of the day and just love the world of Mega Man. Mega Man 4 honestly feels like the developers were easing up the gas a bit though in terms of difficulty, ehich is MORE than welcomed by me. Things like that robot that throws up gifts at you, fairer platforming challenges, more E Tanks than normal, etc. It’s still trash difficulty, but definitely the most enjoyable classic Mega Man to play ive played so far (Mega Man 2’s soundtrack and over all vibe is still better though). Also the whole Russian plot is really random, but I kind of like it for how out of left field it is.
