Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 (July 24)
Best PS4 Games July 2018
Mega Man is a prolific series, and for good reason, as it’s had a profound effect on the platformer genre and gaming in general. The main series is, of course, beloved but just as well-loved by fans is the spinoff series Mega Man X. The Mega Man X Legacy Collection will actually be available as two separate titles, the first four games in one and the fifth through eight games in another, but you can buy them in one all-inclusive package.
Of course, the Legacy Collections come with a host of new features and improvements. The fantastic rewind feature of the Mega Man Legacy Collections returns, letting you turn back the clock for a few seconds to avoid a hazard or take down an enemy. It’s a great tool for learning the ins and outs of each Mega Man level. You’ll also have access to a new X Challenge Mode that pits Mega Man against two different bosses at the same time, Chill Penguin and Frost Walrus for example. There’s a huge in-game museum of everything Mega Man X, including concept art, catalogs of merchandise, old commercials, an animated prequel detailing the origins of Mega Man X and Sigma, and more.
The Mega Man X Legacy Collection is tailor-made for fans of the series, but it’s also immediately accessible to any newcomers.
