Mega Man X6

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

Sci-fi setting

The first 3D outing of the Mega Man X series, where you switch between X-hunter heroes like Zero and Axl, running and gunning through eight selectable stages against Mavericks. It mixes 2D and 3D sections, though it is widely seen as divisive for its camera and controls.

Interconnected level design

A remake of the NES classic where you swing with a bionic arm instead of jumping through 2.5D levels, fighting a militaristic regime's forces. It pairs classic arcade design with modernized visuals and a tough challenge.

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast-paced 3D platformer where you alternate between hero and dark-side characters, mixing high-speed runs, mech shooting sections and treasure hunting. Known for its dual good-versus-evil story campaign and iconic soundtrack.
