I think it's only fair to score precisely what MMXLC brings to the table as opposed to judging each and every individual game, all of which have been covered through and through over the course of many years. I thought a lot about how to write this piece and I've decided that I shouldn't focus so much on the games themselves and rather train my eyes on what matters in this release - the way they're delivered. It's always hard to review a product like this because, for all intents and purposes, it's a collection of previously released games embedded in one package rather than a brand-new game, or even a remake. It's not the individual games that you're here to read about, is it? What you want to know, and what I'm here to tell you about, is Mega Man X Legacy Collection (MMXLC) and whether picking it up today is worth your time and money. With that said, the devil is in the details.

MMX games, for the most part, nail all of the platforming hallmarks and they deserve praise for it. I was more than pleased to finally spend some time with it after all these years and I didn't regret it one bit. I want to be perfectly clear and get the general out of the way so that we can focus on the specifics - Mega Man X is an excellent game series, that goes without saying - it's permanently embedded into the fabric of gaming history.
