The best controls in the series and a fun new game+ combined with the stage design of all time and an often obtuse as hell item game and a cliffhanger we’ve been on for nearly two decades. I personally do enjoy the game, and it was a great step after the last 2, debatably 3, but alas.

Also, someone at Capcom’s fixation on Judeo-Christian imagery and themes for the story is so damn funny. Naming an intro stage “Noah’s Park,” the demonic Sigma design, the final boss having an attack called “Paradise Lost” and resembling a seraph, an elevator to the heavens named “Jakob,” yeah man. X6 randomly having a Baphomet statue in its final stages’ backgrounds is really funny as is, but this is so funny, just some dev’s absurd fixation.
