Wide Flank: Happy Gaming23 Dec 2021

Mega Man X - Gameclub

This month the gang played Mega Man X. Was it good? Yes. Could it have been better? Yes.

It's a blast from the past with a killer soundtrack and a half-assed attempt at a Blade Runner plot line. What's not to love? How about enemies respawning immediately after killing them just because the camera moved.

We spend a lot of time comparing MMX to other games trying to pinpoint what about the mechanics feel so good. We also try to nail down what makes boss fights fun -- if they are ever fun.

For the next Gameclub we are going to be playing Prey, so get that going: https://store.steampowered.com/app/480490/Prey/
