Mega Man 10 was honestly a bit of a surprise. I wasn't expecting it to be enjoyable, but here I am, writing this review. Mega Man 10 is another NES-style sequel like with 9, but with fewer bs involved

Let's get the usuals out of the way. The gameplay, the visuals, and the music are all great; no surprise there. Like with 9, Mega Man doesn't have the charge shot or slide but makes up for it with its levels, except way better here than its predecessor. The eight Robot Masters here are fun to fight against, and the weapons themselves are good, not like Mega Man 9 good, but solid as it is. My favorites include the Water Shield and the Commando Bomb.

The story involves all robots getting infected with a disease called Roboenza, and Mega Man has to stop those Robots Masters from going haywire while hopefully finding the cure to this disease. I like the story here, and rarely do I talk about the plot of the classic Mega Man games because they aren't all that interesting for me to talk about. Easily the best story out of the classic series; not that's saying much since every Mega Man game is about Dr. Wily attempting world domination and Mega Man trying to stop him, but I just thought the story was worth mentioning here

After beating Mega Man, you'll unlock extra modes such as Hard Mode and be able to play as Bass. Yes, I know it's not the first time Bass was playable; that was Mega Man & Bass (I haven't played it yet), but it was cool seeing him in 8-bit. I only played a bit of him, but first impressions are solid. I like how he shoots in multiple directions, and I like how we can use his dog companion Treble to fly. I'll come back to this game some time to hopefully continue playing as Bass and get started on Proto Man.

Overall, Mega Man 10 is a pretty good Mega Man game in my eyes. Nothing much I can say about this one since it's like the previous nine games, but it’s easily a must recommendation for fans and newcomers. Out of all the games that were in Legacy Collection 2, this is probably my favorite one
