X, you can't dare to fight me. Your big heart. That is your kindness and your weakness. I'm okay... trust me.

This was my childhood Mega Man X game, and, unfortunately, I cannot stand it. Inconsistent difficulty that hovers between grueling and piss-easy, one of the worst sets of levels of any of these games, a baffling slate of boss weapons, grating music, far too many collectibles, and a countdown system that I’m still not sure I understand. It looks nice and plays pretty well, but that’s a pretty low bar for Mega Man. Miserable.
