First of all, I'm playing this on a shitty laptop which meant that I had to deal with slowdowns. But that wasn't going to stop me from completing this game since I've come so far after beating Mega Mans 1 to 10 in a row.
This is one of the reasons why I don't like 3D models in 2D games since the only thing it does is add lag.
I think 2D sprites can look great and the Mega Man series has already proved that they can do great 2D art so I don't really get why they felt the need to do this 2.5D thing. I don’t really like it that much visually either.
Anyway, the game is great. Great soundtrack too. The gear system is neat, especially when combining it with the boss powers.
I could’ve done without the voice acting to be honest.
I liked that the shop had a lot of upgrades. You get a lot of gear in the stages so you can buy many of the upgrades as well as items like 1ups and E-tanks in the shop. Because of that, this game wasn't that hard. But I didn't mind, because I had a lot of fun. There were still a few bullshit sections which could get frustrating but nothing Rush Jet couldn't handle.
Speaking of bullshit, Bounce Man’s stage is somehow both the best and the worst stage I’ve encountered in a Mega Man game and I wasn’t a big fan of Block Man stage either.
I'll definitely replay this game as soon as I get a better PC.
