If you don’t like platformers, or prefer your games more forgiving, then you should probably look elsewhere but if old school gameplay with new school presentation is your thing, Mega Man 11 will have you doing the robot.14 Το νέο Big Games, Big Deals κύμα εκπτώσεων του PlayStation Store φέρνει κάποια από τα μεγαλύτερα φετινά παιχνίδια στη χαμηλότερη τιμή τους ως τώρα. It’s bright, it’s colourful, the weapons are cool and the feeling of satisfaction you get when besting a beastly boss is as satisfying now as it was way back in 1988. The thing is, Mega Man 11 – despite or perhaps because of the learning curve – is an enormous amount of fun. And hell, even then we didn’t exactly fly through the levels! We try to tell ourselves it’s because we haven’t played an MM game for years, but part of us knows it’s likely that our old man reflexes aren’t what they used to be. To the point where we found ourself notching the difficulty down to Casual.


Themed levels, loads of secrets, clever bosses and platforming that will on occasion make you want to primal scream at the moon, begging for an end to the horror. The title offers that classic Mega Man-style gaming. This time you’ll have the advantage of the Double Gear system that briefly allows you to slow time, boost your damage or use both at once, although you need to be careful not to overload the fiddly tech.

Thirty years later, with three decades of challenging game experience rattling around inside our bonce, we figured the latest iteration of the game, Mega Man 11, would be a negligible challenge.

It was a profound relief and a glorious triumph once implemented. Eventually we called the helpline on the back of one of the many Nintendo magazines and they told us whose powers us should use to beat the boss. One boss was giving us the roaring shits, however, as time after time we tried and failed to beat them. It sounds pretty simple in retrospect but at the time that was a staggeringly clever gameplay mechanic. Once you beat the boss you’d flog their power and move onto the next one. As MM you’d make your way through various levels, all with specific themes (fire, scissors, bombs etc.), and fight a boss that was the culmination of said theme. Mega Man was the latest game we played on our beloved Nintendo Entertainment System, a deceptively simple platformer starring a robot boy with a shooty arm.

The Invincible Iron Man, much like the above-mentioned example, wears its own inspiration. The year was 1988 (or thereabouts) and your heroic writer was a burgeoning nerd in an era when such people were generally called “unco” and were punched a great deal. secrets and venture deeper into the titular asylum. The original Mega Man was the first game to almost break us.
