The game is a classic western RPG inspired by the games from the 90s. Basically, it’s the kind of game I personally find missing nowadays. Light, fairy tale, epic, heroic and slightly humorous. One that does not take tons of hours to complete or require endless grind to progress.

Mega Man 11 is the long-awaited sequel to the classic 8-bit series. With an updated visual and accessible gameplay, you can enjoy a story of rivalry between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, challenging levels and memorable bosses, while using the new Double Gear System to slow down time and increase your power.


What we like:
  • Accessible for fans and newcomers alike
  • Updated visuals
  • Story of rivalry between Drs Light & Wily
  • Adjustable difficulty level
  • New Double Gear System
What could be improved:
  • Might be too easy for hardcore fans
  • Difficulty increases with levels
  • Short circuit consequences when overusing Double Gear System
