Still a classic.

Mega Man X is a lot rougher coming back than the last time I played, with about half the levels being a bit simplistic but still SO heavily carried by the rocking music. The backtracking I can just genuinely do without too, as secret-hunting on this one in general is really boring, including even a couple of the minibosses they throw in front of it.

But what shines the most here is the game's strong as hell energy, and the bosses that are almost all excellent. Sigma 4 in its entirety still gives me a load of trouble to this day, and they're all very fair to learn if a bit ridiculous at times. Still my favorite of the action-platformer Mega Mans.
