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 t...

Mega Man 11 brings back that classic feel while giving it a fresh new look. The boss fights are memorable and challenging while the stages are thematic and very fun to play. While the game has a couple of flaws, Capcom still did an incredible job trying to recapture the nostalgia while bringing Mega Man into the HD generation.

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.

Mega Man 11 offers a successfully modernized take on the classic Mega Man experience and should please fans both old and new.

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, ...

Gearing up for a comeback.

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.
