You know the drill. Here are my thoughts on the title by good things I enjoy the game and bad things. Let’s rock it!
Negatives
So, I enjoy the Navi customizer, but wasn’t a fan of how you don’t really get to customize it. You’re mostly having press on that thing until the very end or small moments where it’s not needed. Having to include other stuff like dark mind made going to change stuff round was annoying. Only times I really did were some bosses but then get told to go somewhere i need press. Legit, I just kept all the stuff I need for moving around, because I got tired change stuff around. Also, we had to waste chips to water or burn obstacles? That’s just dumb design.
Wasn’t super into the bosses this time around. Yeah some were rewarding like metal man, plant man, and flaman. The rest were either annoying gimmicks like drill man or just not fun to face unless you have a very specific folder like desert man. I didn’t mind changing my folder. My issue is these bosses weren’t fun to go through or become so easy that it felt like a hollow victory. Had this instant with desert man where I used Anubis and won the fight on accident. Same with chess man. Like uhhh I didn’t mean to make them a joke. Don’t get me started on the final bosses being a drag.
Styles being limited to 1. This is dumb. Nothing much else to say.
Positives
Amazing story and character moments. Loved seeing Lan get more time to show himself be more than the happy go lucky I am going to save the world time. Seeing him doubt himself and even show more of his bad tendencies was refreshing to me. Same goes for some characters getting some depth as well. Story actually captured my attention. Was pretty invested the whole way through and that ending was fantastic. It was great overall. My favorite was the tv show section.
The backtracking and padding was reduced even if I still see some of it. Like taro was the worst offender to me. He could have been cut off for all I care and nothing would change. Didn’t like how he took my boy Dex’s place. He been my day one ever since. Bubble man didn’t bother me since he kinda of was the point of being an annoying little brat. The rest felt like better, but still had their issues with the back tracking as well as the padding. Still rather go through flaman than freezeman any day of the week.
The chip ideas were pretty cool to me. Love using the yoyo. I decided to use new chips this time around . Even if I still love using guts man and z cannon. I needed to switch it up. Having area grab attacks do extra damage was cool. Love seeing the more diverse chips I used in battle to make this journey different. My favorites being yo-yo, the snakes, and using the panels to my advantage with certain elements.
Overall, it was a great game. I definitely burned out near the end. Not due to the game, but the amount of battle network i was playing. So, I am taking a well deserved rest for the time being. Still, I enjoyed 3 and has me excited for the future titles. Even with my issues, every fan of not only battle network, but mega man should play 3. It’s a great time that is worth a play through.
