I know this isn't the narrative people want after everything. After the delays, the problems, the art... everyone wants to see this come out and bomb. And it probably will.
...but I also just spent the last two hours playing it, well after I should have gone to bed, and I think I was smiling the whole time. I've been staying positive about this game the whole time, but was still coming in with tempered expectations, and... this game is pretty great. The first time I found a boss weakness was absolutely gleeful. It lacks polish, but the magic is still there.
It's not going to change the world, but it's a good and solid action platformer. More of a Mega Man 4 or 5 than a 2, 3, or 9. I've finished four levels so far, and I've definitely struggled through certain parts, usually because I was trying to go too fast instead of taking some time to learn the layouts, but it's never felt cheap.
This game is great, guys. If you backed it, give it a shot instead of immediately writing it off. If you don't like it, then at least you gave it a fair try, and if you do like it... tell a friend. Because this game, like the original Mega Man, is a great game with some rough edges. I really hope we get to see the well polished sequel.
Edit: Playing the Steam version.
