Mega Man is back in his best entry in over a decade. The controls are tight, the quality of life changes such as button mapping Rush Coil, Rush Jet, and sliding are more than welcome, and the Double Gear system becomes second nature quickly. While the main game may seem short, and a lack of fan-favorite characters is disappointing, Mega Man 11 shines in everything it does include. This truly is the triumphant return of the Blue Bomber.
It’s been a while since the world has received a mainline entry in Capcom’s Mega Man franchise, and following the less than stellar spiritual successor that was Mighty No. 9, some might be a bit uneasy about the game’s formula. Luckily, Mega Man 11 continues the series’ tradition of great games. It hones its best qualities to a fine point while introducing small but necessary improvements to the tried and true formula.
It’s rare that a modern return of a classic gaming series hits the mark, but Mega Man 11 lets off a charged burster shot that obliterates any worries you might have had. It encapsulates much of what made the old games so great, but the new abilities feel fresh and more modern at the same time. This is a much needed return to form for the Blue Bomber. Can Battle Network come back now too?
How much Mega Man 11 is expected to reinvent the wheel is by nature subjective. Despite its reserved approach, it undeniably slots in very nicely with the classic series while bringing our old friend into a new era. The big finish could have been a little more mega, but it succeeds in pulling off the gargantuan task of getting people to care about Mega Man again.
Mega Man 11 offers a successfully modernized take on the classic Mega Man experience and should please fans both old and new.

Longtime Mega Man enthusiasts may scoff at the idea of expanded difficulty options, but their inclusion doesn't mean the game isn't still aimed directly at the hardcore fans. Mega Man 11 delivers an old-school Mega Man experience with some newer graphics and gameplay features to keep things feeling fresh, and while it falls just shy of its predecessors in some regards, it should still please fans and newcomers alike.
Mega Man 11 marks some minor changes to the classic platforming formula. While nothing is wrong with the gameplay, it's feeling tired at this point.
Mega Man 11 sticks so close to the established formula that it wouldn’t have made much of a splash if it had come out in 2008, or 1998. In fact, it has more in common with 1996’s Mega Man 8 than any other game in the series, and feels like a direct sequel to it. I found Mega Man 11 amusingly difficult even with the help of the time-slowing Double Gear system and there are some cool robot moments, but in a series with such great highs (Mega Man 2, 3, 9,10, specifically) and lows (Mega Man 7), it’s pretty average. The robot bosses are mostly bland and familiar (with the exception of the very sil...
Though it may be the same cut and paste formula from the last 10 entries, Mega Man 11 adds just enough new content to make the Blue Bomber relevant again.
Mega Man 11 is the first major installment in the classic action-platformer series in years. Was it worth the wait? Our review...
