Mega Man 11

子供の頃からロックマンが大好きで、11も期待通りでした。

Honestly, I'm more neutral rather than positive or negative, the reason I'll leave a recommended, is because I know there are some fans who love the series.
I completed Megaman X, Megaman Xtreme2 and Megaman 7 back in the day, and yes I even managed to complete Megaman and Forte with no save states, I still need to beat the original, but as you can see, I might not be a 100% fan, but I know my Megaman games with that said, let's begin.

PROS:
-Good graphics
-Double gear system is cool
-Bosses feel more challenging
-Long but memorable stages
-Rush coil and Rush Jet are back!
-some power ups are really cool
CONS:
-The platforming on some levels are unforgiving
yes probably close to the original, or worse
-Long levels, yes...even those some of them are fun and memorable,
some of them can feel eternal and a pain in the A
-No hidden areas
-Easy Willy, even tho the platforming on the game might feel
like hell, once you reach willy stages, they feel like a let down, specially the final battle
and yes, we can talk all day about how difficult Willy was at Megaman 7
-lack of story telling, yes I know some people are going to say:
"but the original Meagan did not have story telling", or,
"did you watch the cutscenes bro?"
fair, but at least 7 had a plot, and plot twists as well, what happened to Forte? (Bass)
and yes, this was exactly the problem, the story was getting really interesting,
but the ending felt too dull, like the story telling lefty the chat
-Re used formula
FINAL TOUGHTS:
If you love Megaman series, there is nothing wrong with adding this to your collection,
it's not the best Megaman out there, but at least it's fun to play, specially if you challenge yourself,
to not use the double gear system at all.

as much as i love this game, its doesnt have any optimizations for pc, so look out for that.

A return can feel right even when it still has things to prove
Mega Man 11 feels like a sincere attempt to modernize the classic formula without losing what made it work in the first place. I liked the clean visual style, the solid controls, and the way the stages still demand precision and pattern learning. The Double Gear system clearly sits at the center of the design, and while I never fully connected with it, I can see why Capcom built the game around it. My main caveat is the soundtrack, which did its job for me but never reached the same impact I expect from the series.
I enjoyed it because it reminded me that Capcom is moving in the right direction with Mega Man. It is not my favorite entry, and I still missed a few touches that gave older games more personality, but the foundation here is strong. I would warn that some challenges feel built around mastering Double Gear more than I wanted. Even so, I recommend it to fans of classic action platformers and to players curious about the series, but less to anyone expecting the best Mega Man right away.

Well, it's classic Mega Man with contemporary grafics.
Solid as usual, Mega Man 11 plays just like Mega Man 1 - 10 except that it's probably the easiest Mega Man game ever made. It has four different difficulties and everyone of them except maybe the highest is a cakewalk compared to the older games, even if you are not necessarily a seasoned Mega Man veteran. The new "innovation" is Mega Man's new "Double gear"-system which allows him to enter slow-motion or make his weapons stronger for a few seconds, but since the game is so comparatively easy you barely need it.
As you would expect from an official Mega Man game, the controls are very smooth for the most part, and the pimped grafics make it one of the more fun games to play in the series. Hardcore Mega Man fans in their mid-forties who can beat Mega Man 3 on their original NES with their eyes closed will likely be disappointed about the generally low challenge (compared to Mega Man standards) though, making Mega Man 11 a good recommendation for new players who want to get into the franchise. In any case however, there is not nearly enough content or fun to be had here to justify the outrageously high full price (currently 30 Euros at the time of this review), so even longtime fans should wait for a decent discount.

OPTIMIZATION WARNING!
Megaman 11 DOES indeed have optimization issues
Just like Okami HD (and actually literally erry single Capcom game I played), Megaman 11 also has the issue of maxing out my CPU, consuming the entire 3,500mhz on my Steam Deck OLED
Using a deckyloader plugin called "PowerTools", I was able to underclock my CPU to 800mhz, reducing the wattage consumption from 15W down to 7W average, giving me 7h of playtime (On SD OLED), without dropping under 60fps
So unless you're able to underclock your hardware for this specific game, you're not gonna enjoy playing this on lower end PCs or battery powered devices
Anyway, I'm refunding. I'll buy it back another time

I consider it the best among the classic Mega Man games. Despite being released in more recent times (2017), it’s a very dedicated game that truly captures the essence of Mega Man by drawing inspiration from the past.
I immediately noticed the significant effort behind the level design—the philosophy of first presenting you with an 'obstacle' in a more relaxed manner, and then gradually increasing the difficulty. It’s a genuine initial exposure to enemies and traps, preparing you to face them later when they become truly deadly. The controls are fantastic.
Regarding the new Double Gear and Speed Gear systems, while they initially didn't convince me and seemed like an 'extra,' the more I played, the more I realized how much value they actually add to the gameplay (especially the Speed Gear). They make the levels easier, but simultaneously force the player to use them wisely, as their duration is limited.
Although the game is short, I consider it a little gem and one of the most beautiful and polished platformers I have ever played
