@beazlen1 I don't know about trusting NintendoLife. At times, they seem to have only one individual review a game, and that's their say, like with MetaGal (NL gave it a 3/10 when it's much better than that). Hopefully, since this is a AAA title, there should be at least two individuals reviewing it here.
Steam gives it a 9/10, but this site gives it a 6/10... what the hell? This site needs more than one person to review a game, because subjective opinions are really giving games unjust scores here on NintendoLife. The same with MetaGal; it got a 3/10. How can someone seriously give a game of that quality a 3 outta 10? Let a Mega Man fan review that game and tell the people what's what. It's getting so you can't trust any website for an honest review, especially with new games. You have to see the game play for yourself, because almost all newer titles are touted at an 8/10 or above to push sales. Website reviews are bought and paid for. People with little following on YouTube are much more trustworthy... not so much the big shots who get stuff for free from a company.
Ok, I got further in the game, and it is way better than a 3. Like I stated previously, if you like Mega Man, you'll love MetaGal. It's easily a 7/10. The weapons you receive from defeating the other androids does more than just afflict enemies. For example, after you defeat BusterGal, you get mines to throw. If an enemy steps on them, they are damaged, but if MetaGal steps or jumps on one, she vaults up into the air, allowing the player to grab items they normally couldn't just like in Mega Man with the Rush Spring. It is a good game. I think the reviewer must be under 25 years old and thinks the game is too difficult. Poor kid; spoiled by easy, respawn FPS'.
If you like the original Mega Man games for the NES, you'll enjoy MetaGal, especially for the price they are asking. That said, if you expect the obvious that this is a Mega Man clone with proper controls, you won't regret the purchase. I gave it a 7/10. It's nice to get a game cheap that is everything you expected it to be. And, it has its little nuances from the Blue Bomber series. The item recharge is a nice touch. Where as in Mega Man, if you use up your item, the player has to refill it by collecting equipment tanks. But, in MetaGal instead, a meter refills at a set pace making special weapon use strategic.
