Broke: Marina Liteyears should be playable in Smash Bros.
Woke: Marina Liteyears should be playable in Megaman Xtreme 2.

This was my most anticipated release of the year but it didn't totally click with me. The limitations of the grappling hook are kind of unclear and I feel like many parts of the level were harder than the X or Zero series platforming to an unfair degree. Sure the penalties for death and pits/spikes have been reduced, but it shouldn't be anywhere near this hard to clear a stage without taking damage.

The OST and writing make up for it a bit though. I really adore the character dialogue.

Also the Switch port lags in some really unfortunate spots. It even happens when you are asked to confirm your purchase in the chip shop or when you're being told the mission for a stage, and it audibly breaks the kickass drum and guitar loop that plays there.
