I'm starting to feel like a baby boomer where gaming is concerned. (You know, hating change an such.) Contrary to probably what will be the popular opinion, I feel Mega Man 11 has changed a pretty good bit from the normal formula and I'm actually liking it.
I feel like there is less cheap death compared to previous installments, but it makes itself more of an endurance match to get to the boss. I really enjoy each stage having its own thought out mini boss also and the fact that you don't spawn right in front of the door when you die. You instead have to work your way back without losing too much health so you can make it through the fight while still making a couple errors.
The gear system I thought was stupid at first, but it started to grow on me. You start finding little parts of stages where the speed gear makes life a lot easier. The "shooty" gear as I call it is probably useful, but I still forget it exists most of the time.
As for the standard stuff:
I feel its nice because based on the upgrades you buy you can make the game as hard or mind numbingly easy as you want. Which I don't really think is a bad thing at all. Making a game accessible to new players is done by doing just that. Making it accessible to a range of skills of platforming not adding a battle royal to Mega Man just cause that's what the kids are doing at the moment. (Man... Still sounding old and grumpy...)
The only badish thing:
You waited to long and lost good composers Capcom. The music just doesn't have that same "omg lets shoot some stuffs and jump over holes" feeling. But in their defense it's like comparing 11 and 2's soundtracks is like comparing Kid Rock to Mozart. I'm nit picking at this point. I'm just gonna go away now. Good day

This game took the right steps forward for the Mega Man series
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2018
First off, I want to point out how intuitive and easy to navigate the menus are. As soon as the game goes on and you see that really good start for the story, you are greeted by the gorgeous Mega Man 11 logo surrounded by gears, the theme of this game. Right then you are greeted with beautiful graphics made to look like a 3D anime, and that I loved so much!After checking the menus and adjusting whatever you may want to change, you start the game and begin with a bright, colorful, and honestly entertaining cut scene that begins the story of the game. You get no intro stage, which I kinda missed, but not so much since you go to that beautiful boss menu and begin your adventure as soon as you select your first boss to fight. Personally, Block Man is the best one to start with.These stages are far longer than in any other Mega Man game, even the X game stages, but the enemy placement, the beautiful graphics, the music (which is actually pretty good, though not the best in the series), and the tight and responsive controls, you will find yourself hoping some of those stages were longer. But no, please, these stages are long enough as they are. You won't find any hand-holding here; telling you what to do and how to do it. It's all up to you how you choose to move through the stages, and though frustrating at times, it ends up being satisfying once you reach that boss.The music, as I stated earlier, is not the best in the series, BUT I assure you that they are good, and some of them will have you tapping your foot while playing. Still, I have a grief and is that I didn't get my code to download the alternate musics, even though I had pre-ordered my copy months before release. The issue was acknowledged, but I still didn't get my code. This still didn't dampen my gameplay experience. And on a last note, I want to say that the voice acting may not be the best of the best, but it is GOOD! It is very very good! Mega Man's, Light's and Willy's voices, as well as Block Man's and Tundra Man's were some of the best!Oh, and I almost forgot, using amiibo is almost like cheating... and not so much either. You get random power-up items per amiibo used, you get rare items for using a Mega Man amiibo (I only have the Smash Mega Man tho), and you only get to use up to 20 amiibo once a day. Sometimes they save your life, sometimes they don't. Good thing there's Eddy too.
