After what felt like years of waiting, I finally got to play an amazing Mega Man X game! It's funny because this game draws from all the failures of X5-X7 and makes them work extremely well, not to mention the problems I had with Mega Man X games. You still have parts to collect, but for the most part any important items or upgrades can be bought as long as you have the money, and with the way the continue system works, it feels just different enough from the usual Mega Man fair. Oddly enough, this is the first Mega Man X game to feel like it actually has an identity, and I'm shocked how main extra unlockables there are in this game! If there is any Mega Man X you should play, it's this one.
