Excellent Presentation | Satisfying skill based platforming | An array of abilities to experiment with | Challenging for all the right reasons
Music is a bit 'meh'
Mega Man 11 effortlessly channels the old-school platformers of yesteryears and has that satisfying oomph when you finally beat it but needs to be played more than once to be appreciated...

Mega Man 11 sticks so close to the established formula that it wouldn't have made much of a splash if it had come out in 2008, or 1998. In fact, it has more in common with 1996's Mega Man 8 than any other game in the series, and feels like a direct sequel...
Mega Man 11 is every bit as entertaining as most of the Blue Bomber's numbered legacy, though it also plays a bit too safe. The new mechanics and switch to 3D models does little to innovate the formula, though no doubt many old-school fans will prefer i...
Abstract: Want to feel old? Maybe cast a glance over what Mega Man looks like today - or feel how all that muscle memory that held together those older games has atrophied to nothing as you struggle through the almighty challenge posed by this, Capcom's internally-...

Mega Man 11 is about as retro as a game can get nowadays, with tight action and great charm. It can be a touch too difficult at times, but overall it's a fantastic side-scroller that's worth checking out...
Abstract: In regular Mega Man fashion, you are given the opportunity to tackle the eight masters in whatever order you like. Also in that fashion, there is certainly an optimal way of going through the masters based on what powers you have unlocked. Defeating a Mas...
Mega Man 11 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but for this fan of the franchise, that's not the worst thing. While it could have used more innovation and better boss battles, the core gameplay remains as enjoyable as ever. For long-suffering fans of the series...
Abstract: We take for granted just how challenging the classic Mega Man games are these days. When I was a kid, friends and I spent weeks pouring over Mega Man 2, perfecting levels, memorizing boss patterns, internalizing those infernal lasers in Quick Man's stage...
