More of the same enjoyable gameplay from MMX, but definitely a step up in the difficulty department. Both the X Hunters (especially their final forms) and Sigma were real challenges. Other than that, it was more-or-less the same as the first game. Don't consider it on the level of MMX, but still a really good platformer.

slightly worse due to its weapons not being as good but its still really good and has an arguably better ost

I fucking love this game, every Maverick is my bf, speedrunning this is really fun

this was the first X game to make the executive decision to put the armors and hearts in super stupid locations. It has more stuff that I like than X1 but also started most of the bull that made the X series crash and burn starting with 3


Would have rated higher if there was no bullshit timed side quest to get the best ending.

Mega Man X2 is basically more X1 and, IMO, just as good as it. Recommended.

This game is simply amazing in every way X1 is but I dont like the music and mavericks as much. The sigma fight is way to easy, the X hunters are cool but I don't like how they take up the boss slots in the sigma stages. I dont like the hoverbike segments very much, the controls are just akward. But besides that this game is amazing in every other way, of course it comes highly recommended its Mega Man.

decai demais de qualidade nas fases do sigma, mas tudo antes disso é ótimo

Surprisingly I enjoyed this more than Megaman X, I found it more accessible and I enjoyed the pixel art and sound more. I found some of the bosses lazy like the last game, but the final boss so much more achievable to defeat.
Anyway X2 was a lil more of the same as the previous, but it’s just fun as hell.

i bet they could take zero's head and make it act like those electronic singing fish that you mount on your wall and they flop around to the music. the game wouldve gotten extra points if they did that

Um dos melhores da franquia X, me lembro exatamente do momento em que eu estava em um servidor do discord aleatório em 2019 e vi um cara fazendo 100% de todos os jogos da franquia do atirador azul robótico, e depois de jogar um pouco de todos os jogos, decidi que esse seria o que eu aprenderia cada frame, conheço cada parte desse jogo como a palma da minha mão e não me arrependo do tempo que eu perdi jogando, é impossível jogar apenas uma vez.

It's fun, but the backtracking kills it. Also Sigma's last stage being just a copy-paste maverick stage really made it less climactic.

just a hair shy of the greatness of the first title

A solid follow-up to the best platformer on the SNES. I don't really like the Maverick Hunter system, but it improves or is on par with the first game in every other aspect. Killer soundtrack, fun boss abilities, and they gave him a fuckin shoryuken

Another fantastic entry in the X series, however despite all of its new additions and improvements, the original beats it out by just a smidge with its Sigma levels.

The ending is fantastic though, and the little additions in this game set so much groundwork for the series lore.

an impressively large step down from x1, although that might be nostalgia talking. that being said, this game is still pretty good

Didn't like this nearly as much as X. Feels like it's missing something.

I cant like this one as much as I do like the first one.

cool ass OST tho

unfortunately, never got to actually finish it.

If you replaced some of the whiny instrumentation and made it so that firing the upgraded buster didn't halt your movement sometimes, this game would be all out of faults.


it was mega man X but with slightly worse level design. There was also a lot more weird nonsense in terms of actually maxxing out your character which was a little weird. Other than that, it still is a mega man X game which means at its core it is still a solid video game, just not as good as the original.

This one is pretty fun. I won't knock it for not having as solid level design or as-memorable-music as the first Mega Man X but it's still a fun romp. It's enjoyable enough and feels like just "more Mega Man X" which is a good thing by any measure. The plotline wasn't really as motivating or solid but I LOVE the inclusion of Serges for the amount of "Dr. Wily really won in the end" crack theories he's spawned.

i think i like the first game better but just slightly

Sigma is, at the very least, the worst thing to happen to the collective Mega Man franchise. Just as he brought down the previous game, whatever little inclusion he had into X2 felt like an anchor weighing down this otherwise fantastic sequel.

I feel like this game added more frustrating elements than the original, but the sense of forward momentum and action that X2 delivers on mostly makes up for it. I think the music's better, and while the game doesn't look much better than the original, there wasn't much that needed to be improved upon. The transparency layered effects are more graphically impressive than the wireframe 3D elements. It doesn't matter how many graphical enhancement chips you include onto a cartridge, Sigma is still going to be active detriment to the experience. I hope that moving forward, he's replaced with anything else. Or nothing. If I had to choose between jumping down the pit to fight Sigma as the final boss or fight a stationary supercomputer, I'm choosing the later every day of the week.

Also they should make a Mega Man game staring Zero. Wouldn't that be neat?
