Honestly, not a bad game. After the shit heap of 6 and 7, this game was a nice breath of fresh air. I like the new artist and the slight redesigns they did of everyone. It looks really nice. New characters look cool too.
I'm glad they finally updated and moved onto the next generation of consoles in a new and interesting way. X, Zero and Axl all have a unique way of playing that makes them distinct and equally viable compared to one another. I had fun playing as everyone one and switched them up depending on the stage (unlike 7 where I sidelined Axl after I got X lol). Giving Zero different weapons he can switch between anytime is cool, X's interchangeable armor is cool, and Axl's copyshot not being worthless is cool.
Chip system is alright, if not a bit grindy. Some stages still are a bit dickish and too long for me sometimes.
Overall, I liked this game. If they had continued, I bet refining this style would've eventually made a great game. But things ending here is fine with me. Give it a shot and see if you like it.
