Sei que muitos não gostam do segundo por ter largado muito do "RPG raiz" do anterior, mas eu realmente amo esse jogo. A história dele não perde em nada ao primeiro e muitas melhoras são notáveis: Um grande número de inimigos memoráveis, a luta contra o Elefante Incinerador é extremamente apavorante, me caguei todo.

Eles também repaginaram o sistema de RPG e ao invés de uma batalha estática optaram pela movimentação livre, o que desagradou muitos mas pra mim é uma mudança positiva pra dinâmica das batalhas.

Os antagonistas, a trilha sonora e todos os cenários tem muita personalidade, não é só uma copia de Resident Evil como muitos afirmaram na época. O fator replay também é um grande diferencial, a próxima jogada é sempre melhor que a anterior!

Amo de paixão até mais do que o primeiro!

All the way back in 2017 on Christmas, I got an SNES classic. I already owned an actual SNES before that, but I figured since they were big that year and it had a buncha game I did not own, a classic would be a fun gift to ask for Christmas. One of the games on there was Mega man X. Before this, I had only played both Mega man 1 and 2 that same year but didn't really enjoy them. So, while I did play a bit of the first stage in X, I didn't really give it much of a chance and quit. Fast forward to 2021, and I decide to actually go back and beat the game. I do so and enjoy it but thought it was just good overall but not great. However, last year I decided to do a classic Mega man marathon which then turned into a Mega man X marathon. I of course wanted to replay X1 before going into the other games, and what do ya know, I ended up loving it. I figured since I played it two years in a row, why not make it a tradition and go for a third year. So, I indeed did fit in one more game this year, and luckily it ended off with a bang.

If I'm gonna be really upfront, the number one reason I love this game is it's OST. It's the difference between giving the game a 7 or 8, it's that damn good. Every single song is a banger, which I can't say for any of the other X games personally. Some of my absolute favorite songs are Sting Chameleon's stage theme, Boomer Kuwanger's stage theme, Spark Mandrill's stage theme, the opening stage theme, the password screen and more. It's all just so masterful, can never get enough of it.

Another reason this one is my favorite is probably the level design. Besides X4 which has some of the best level design in the series too, none of the other X game's I played were as solid in that department, I think. The addition of levels changing based on the player defeating certain Mavericks was very awesome..and the backtracking in this game is way more manageable compared to future games (I'm looking at you X3). Also, I initially did like this more than any classic game and while I still do, a big reason for that is having a dash just makes the X series way more fun I think. This is the one that introduced that mechanic obviously, so I definitely have to praise it for that.

I gotta say as well, the X series on the SNES specifically looks amazing visually. It may have some of my favorite pixel art in any game, it's so visually appealing.

I was originally gonna give this a 10 because I do love this game a lot...but going through it again I did forget how bleh those Sigma stages can be. Apparently in my last playthrough I had no problem with them but this time around, I did notice how shitty they could be. Definitely the worst part of the game and a downgrade from the regular levels but at least the final fight is good.

This was fun to replay as it always is. Maybe the next time I replay it, I'll feel like bumping it up to a 10? Who knows, either way..I'm posting this on New Year's Eve and won't have another review out until after the New Year so I want to wish all my followers and anyone who sees this a very happy New Year. I also want to thank everyone that supported me this year. My account grew an absolutely insane amount these past couple months specifically... and I still just can't believe it! Thank you all so much, I love you guys! I hope everyone that sees this has an amazing 2024, keep on gaming gamers and decrease that backlog!

Quanto mais tempo eu passo nesse jogo mais eu gosto dele. É bizarro que com tão pouco orçamento conseguiu ser uma experiência tão completa em tudo que se propõe.

O nível de detalhes da narrativa desse jogo consegue ser melhor do que qualquer outro na franquia. E o melhor de tudo é que ele é um jogo que respeita o universo que faz parte, ao nível de um nome de um file da DLC do Resident Evil 5 se tornar uma vilã extremamente memorável e complexa, ao nível de pegar um personagem que só apareceu em um jogo e conseguir expandir sua personalidade e sua backstory e ao nível de conseguir trazer inúmeras referências aos classicos da série.

A gameplay também não fica pra trás nisso. É meio chocante que um jogo com um orçamento tão baixo tem sistema de zapping e o Resident Evil 2 Remake não. O carinho que os devs tiveram nessa gameplay desse jogo é coisa de você apertar uma alavanca na campanha da Claire e mudar total um segmento na campanha do Barry por consequência disso. Isso adiciona um fator replay maravilhoso.

Eu amo voltar pra essa masterpiece subestimada e descobrir coisas novas mesmo depois de +200 horas de jogo. Pra sempre meu jogo favorito e o único que não me decepciona em nenhum aspecto

Juro, esse jogo não tinha obrigação nenhuma de ser tão bom
