Best Mega Man Games, Ranked From Worst to Best
4) Mega Man 11
The latest entry in the series, Mega Man 11 feels like a natural step forward for the series while also respecting where it has been.
Once again needed to stop Dr. Wily’s plans for world domination, Mega Man must take on a new force of eight robot masters, each with their own abilities and weaknesses to learn about.
The catch though is that they’re all equipped with the new Dual Gear System, allowing them to reach lightning fast speeds or unleash devastating attacks at will, albeit in exchange for an immense strain placed on their bodies.
In response, Mega Man equips the Dual Gear System himself, setting out to stop them with this new ability.
Touting 2.5-D graphics and modern difficulty options, the game still offers a fast and frantic action platforming experience for those who know it so well while also opening it up to those who would want to enter the series for the first time.
Likewise, the Dual Gear System blends perfectly with the games other mechanics and offers new strategic options for boss battles and platforming alike.
It loses some of its challenge thanks to readily available currency and healing items, which may put off some series veterans, but still brings the series and its core elements forward into the current gaming landscape as well as anyone could hope for.
