Come on, you knew this was coming. I telegraphed this a mile away last week, but we are going to talk about the other forgotten member of the X series, Mega Man X6. I mean it can’t be all bad. Its predecessor was a solid, if underwhelming entry into the franchise, with some fun boss fights making up for less inspired level design. So maybe X6 was the one that put it all together? Did it combine the great level design and soundtrack of X4 with the outstanding boss fights and more polished graphics of X5? In a word, no. Despite not necessarily being a “bad” game, X6 is among the worst in the entire Mega Man franchise (both old school and X games). I would certainly say its the worst X title and if you were to bring the older games into the fray, the only one I disliked more was probably Mega Man and Bass. Again, this isn’t some jank franchise that has been around for five years, so its a different set of standards, but...
