A part of my three way tie for the greatest game ever conceived. But this one holds the biggest spot in my heart, and I love a lot more about it.
This is a wonderful evolution to the X series, and a great addition to the timeline that extends past X6.
The games theme of "Evolution" wonderfully extends the X Mega Man Franchise's theme as a whole, how we, as a species, are inept. We fail to care for our planet, and somehow destroy it further then our own war machines can.
By X8, our planet is lost. With the Eurasia crash wiping out 80% of human life, and possibly a few decades in between said crash, we're quickly dying out.
Lumine and Sigma are great symbolizations of this, Sigma representing the pure rage one can have towards this ineptitude, and Lumine, representing a harbinger, and a transport, for those worthy to move on from this ruined world, and make our own.
All of this, is to simply explain the meaning...Behind "Paradise Lost".
Gameplay wise, one could argue others did it better, like X4-X6. It's a different style for sure, but I think it handles beautifully, even if Zero is more then a little overpowered in this specifically, but it doesn't matter cuz he's still super duper fun.
My only two complaints with the gameplay for the entire game, is Axl and Hermes Armor. They both feel like simple lessers to their alternatives.
Axl has absolutely improved since X7, no longer a simply worse X, but he doesn't really have...Enough, to justify using him.
X has his Armor mechanic, Zero has his new and varied weapons, Axl has...being able to copy like 3 enemies. I really wish he was better, but he simply isn't.
Hermes Armor is still good, sure, and some parts of it are straight up busted, which makes both set bonuses typically not worth it, but Icarus's is absolutely better then Hermes.
Icarus provides less defense, but that buster alone makes up for Hermes's...Pretty bad buster. Shotgun compared to spam mid charge shots.
But, that's the beauty of Neutral Armor. You can take the best parts from both.
Axl...Cannot. So he is absolutely the lesser in everything here.
Anyways this is the longest thing I've ever written and I gotta do the same thing with Starforce 3 kill me
