Mega Man 2, a game in the series that many have called one of the best. For me, though, this is far from the legendary great that many have made it out to be. Don't get me wrong, it's still good and I still enjoyed it, more than the first one, but specifically near the end game, there was just way too many things that irked me to my core that prevent me from calling it one of my favorite Mega Man games, or even putting it in the S tier.

Wily Stage 3, Wily Stage 4, and Boo Beam Trap specifically made my enjoyable experience into a horrific one. If my enjoyment had remained consistent and if these sections weren't more than just a minor inconvenience, then I probably wouldn't pay them much mind, but my god, do I even need to say anything? I'm not ashamed to admit I used save states during these sections, because there is no way I was going to subject to that kind of plain bad level/boss design and torment.

Luckily, the good outweighs the bad here. Everything up until Wily Stage 3 was a blast to play through, and you can definitely tell all the improvements that were made compared to the first one. A good 7/10 here, but it could have been rated so much higher for me if those particular sections weren't what they were.
