Kind of incredible how a game manages to use the Doc Robot concept from MM3, yet actually use it well through unique stage designs and new, fair boss patterns for the returning bosses, without managing to feel bloated. There’s just so much player control and customizability between all the chips and ex skills here too. Not only is the game fun on a first run, but it is on every subsequent one. This is my second run through this week because I find this so gripping gameplay wise. It just doesn’t get old. New Game+ without the hiccups of Zero 1’s life system, Zero1 and 2’s weapon exp system, or X8’s stage design. Fuck yeah man. Love this game. Also the story’s great, too. Though it’s in the Zero sub series so that shouldn’t be a shock. But hey, fantastic video game where you just so happen to bash the fash.
