Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 Reviews
Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a logical move by Capcom that they could have phoned in by just porting the PS2 collection and calling it a day. Instead they added Rookie Hunter Mode, X Challenge, and all the Extras you could ask for, all wrapped up in a competent interface to carry you between each game.
Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 is brought down by the weak and distasteful games packaged in this collection.
Though Volume Two doesn't have as many quality titles as its predecessors, the two stronger installments that it contains, alongside the impressive amount of side-content, make it a decent package for fans and gamers interested in Mega Man.
The weaker four games collected in a single package. If you want to collect them all, grab this, if you want to see all the games, it's fine. But there's nothing here that's superior to the first 4.
If there's one thing that Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 provides above all else, it's variety.
The collection overall is probably best for those that are nostalgic for the PlayStation 1 and 2 era Mega Man games; otherwise, there are much better platformers around on the Switch with better variety.
As an overall compilation, the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 is full of some valuable series entries that are worth returning to. The original Mega Man X, plus X2, X4, and X8 offer the highest quality of the entire franchise. The more flawed portions of this compilation (X3, X5, X6, and X7) brings down its overall quality, however.
So, whether or not you should buy Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 really depends on how much of a Mega Man fan you are.
The games here aren't necessarily terrible, but none of the games are on par with the essential experiences found in the first collection.
Aside from the X Challenge mode not adding much to it, the extra contents and the games themselves makes Mega Man X Legacy Collection a valuable option for the fans of the franchise and anyone new to it.

I do [overall like it]. It harkens back to the first three games in a big way. They even brought Vile back.
And for the big question, is Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 worth the time and the money spent on like the first episode? To be frank, no, totally not. As mentioned above, the 2nd collection has none to offer but two worthy instalments of the series, X5 and X8. Although these two lonely are as important as the first four titles in the series, I'd highly recommend the second collection only to those who are truly in love with the blue bomber

It's difficult to recommend Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 since it's so wildly inconsistent in its quality. What is essentially being offered is one game that's decent (albeit unmemorable), one that's sometimes great, and then two that are complete trainwrecks. That said, Mega Man X5 and Mega Man X8 are worth playing through as they're still fairly enjoyable in their own right. Otherwise, though, there's not much reason to check this out.
With rumors flying around about Mega Man X9 on the horizon, now may be a good time to invest in X and Zero's journey.
All in all, Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 packs in a wealth of content, though not all of it holds up as well as we would've liked. The high price does little to help matters either. Hardcore fans have enough of a reason to give this a go, everyone else is better off waiting for a price drop.
If you are looking for a fantastic trip down memory lane and want to experience some seriously solid platforming, by all means, get equipped with the Mega Man Legacy Collection.
MMXLC Vol.1 & 2 were most certainly fun to play and I'm glad that I got to review them as they introduced me to the series, but the collection has some inherent problems, not to mention that the asking price is simply way too high for what you get.
Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 provides a lot of value for players.
With its impeccable presentation, its focus on history, and its ability to remix its challenges to make decades-old games feel brand new, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 is a necessity for Mega Man fans.
The games look great, sound fantastic, control like a dream, with some great extras thrown in to boot as well. If you are a fan of Mega Man, the Mega Man X legacy collections are an unhesitant yes.
