Mega Man 11 Review (Xbox One)


Capcom will release Mega Man 11 on October 2nd. Read on to check out what we thought!

The release of Mega Man 11 brings back your favorite characters in a new side-scrolling adventure with beautiful visuals. In the latest entry, your favorite Blue Bomber is taking on Dr. Wily and his plans of world domination. Mega Man 11 has a slew of difficulty modes allowing gamers of all skill levels to take on the various challenges throughout the game.

Gamers will challenge their platforming skills as they navigate challenging obstacles and enemies while utilizing the innovative Double Gear system. This system is in place to enhance your abilities with more speed and the ability to fly. As you make your way throughout the game, these new abilities become quite useful in overcoming the game's challenges.

One of the things that stands out most about Mega Man 11 is the beautiful cel-shaded artwork and the expanded game mechanics. The game now allows for Speed Gear and Power Gear which gives your character power shots allowing for more powerful attacks. Gamers also get a chance to take on new enemies like Dr. Wiley's Block Man and Fuse Man. When attacked, these characters activate gears that force you to strategically think about your next move. The gameplay is a little challenging at times as you make your way through difficult platforming spots and boss battles. However, the new Speed and Power Gear really start to come in handy as you progress through the game.

Mega Man 11 manages to do a fantastic job at pushing the franchise forward instead of backwards. The game has been overhauled from top to bottom and the gameplay definitely feels fresh and exciting. The game's innovative new features gives the new release a fresh feel making it feel like its own entity in the series. It is definitely not the classic game you grew up playing in the 90s!

All-in-all, Mega Man 11 is a fun and enjoyable release that manages to capture everything you loved about the series with a fresh new take. The innovative features allow for you to fall in love with the series from an all new perspective. Just in time for its 30th anniversary, Mega Man 11 releases on October 2nd for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. A collector’s release (U.S. and Canada) is coming to Nintendo Switch in limited quantities and will include a Mega Man 11 amiibo and other collectibles.

Crazy Kung Fu: A chunky, focused fitness‑meets‑reflex fighter (VR Game Review)

Crazy Kung Fu transforms martial‑arts training into a physical rhythm game that sharpens reflexes and raises your heart rate: fast, reflex‑driven, calorie‑burning gameplay wrapped in deep moddability. What started as a focused VR reflex trainer has evolved into a vibrant, community‑shaped practice arena; richer environments, meaningful cosmetic rewards, and new systems that push precision, stamina, and skill growth in equal measure. What the game is • High‑intensity reflex combat : Fast, physical gameplay that maps your hands and body to punching, dodging, and blocking; scoring rewards precise timing and optimal range so every movement matters. • Deep, varied content : 72 handcrafted levels across four distinct modes (Train, Fight, Focus/Compete, Workout/Event), with modifiers and multi‑tier difficulties that scale from welcoming warmups to brutal, pro‑level tests. • Distinct, atmospheric arenas : Six immersive environments; from intimate dojos to a tranquil bamboo forest; each with b...

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...

Letter Lost: Postmarked Secrets - A cozy post office that hides rules and a deeper mystery. (Demo Preview)

Letter Lost drops you into the Kharnym Isle Post Office as its sole employee, tasked with the deceptively simple work of stamping, sorting, and dispatching the island’s mail. On the surface it’s a cozy workplace sim; polite locals, daily pay, and mandatory room and board that removes the hassle of commuting, but the office’s cheery routine is threaded with odd rules and quiet contradictions that quickly make the ordinary feel off‑kilter. What begins as a satisfying loop of weighing parcels and matching stamps soon becomes a game of attention: letters hide hints, patrons’ small talk slips into unsettling confessions, and management’s insistence that you never leave the premises reads less like policy and more like a warning. The demo covers your first four days on the job, teaching the systems while nudging you toward choices, obey protocol and keep the peace, or pry at the seams and uncover the post office’s darker purpose. Either way, those first shifts are a careful, uncanny invitat...
