Megaman 2 is often considered one of the best titles not only in the franchise, but one of the best games ever.

And honestly I don't buy that.
I played this game multiple times and yeah, I totally see the things that does incredibly: the movement and jump-&-shootery is fluid and fun even today, the grphics are nice, the ability to approach the game as you want was a novel concept for the time and the soundtrack is a banger to this day (Seriously, Wily Castle 1 still gives me goosebumps)

But also there is a lot of weird design choices, specifically in the later sections of the game. Some parts of the final levels are straight up unaccessible if you don't have the good equipment (ITEM-1 and ITEM-2 being so important to progress feels kinda weird too), and one specific boss (the worst mf I have ever fought) is impossible to pass if you used Crash Bomber at all before it.
Not to mention that, after playing later titles, I really felt the lack of Slide Kick, Rush and Charge Shot in thos one.

My criticism aside, there is not denying that it is a classic that everone should try, and its pros are able to outshine its cons to make it a great experience even after 30+ years.

Mega Man 2 is epic, go figure

Muchos consideran que la saga realmente inició aquí en el 2, escenarios, controles, mecánicas pero sobre todo la música de este juego es lo que mas destaca de él. Una joya atemporal del retro gaming.

Una gran mejora del primer juego a este. Siempre tuve la idea de que estos juegos iban a ser más difíciles, y para como son las cosas en el NES, me imaginaba que con cada nuevo juego la dificultad iba a ir incrementando, como de Castlevania I a Castlevania III, o de Contra a Super C, pero fue un alivio darme cuenta de que este no era el caso.

Siguen habiendo áreas de mejora, pero para ser un juego de los 80s no me quejo. Tiene un mucho mejor flow, habilidades y niveles más interesantes.

bem dificinho, mas achei as armas dos chefes bem fraquinhas comparado ao primeiro

It's megaman again, with some new robutts. The evolution of the series is interesting to follow, but stays true to its core through the ones i've played.

Very fun game with a insanely hard ending.
