that was amazing
Working my way around the controls was honestly really god damn fun, I loved figuring out how to fight these bosses and do damage while still also dodging attacks which was actually more challenging than just usual fps circle strafing! It definitely got more fun as I progressed through the game too. The dungeon crawling was really fun.
-The cutscenes were great, it really all was just like a saturday morning cartoon, and there was so much of it for a ps1 game. This really might be the first movie game with how many cutscenes there are, but it was genuinely cool and novel, and some of the most impressive cutscene work on ps1, especially considering they're all in real time and have very expressive faces and such despite it being on ps1.
-The reveal at some point was absolutely godlike and really instantly made me realize just how great this world really is and how important this game is to the overall megaman lore, really putting 2-and-2 together with its connection to just about every other megaman series (sans battle network and starforce)
10/10
