Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a compilation of refreshed versions of the first four Mega Man X games that originally debuted in years 1993-1997: Mega Man X, Mega Man X2, Mega Man X3, and Mega Man X4. The collection was released in order to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the popular series. The game was developed by Capcom, the creators of the franchise.
Mega Man X games take place in the 22nd century. Reploids, androids with free will, exist on Earth. Some of them belong to the Maverick genre and they rose against humanity. The Earth is protected by the titular Mega Man X – a robot that is the successor to the legendary Mega Man. The protagonist is accompanied by Zero and shape-shifting Reploid Axl.
The games available in the Mega Man X Legacy Collection are classic, two-dimensional platformers. The action is presented from a side-scrolling perspective. The players are tasked with traveling through levels, fighting enemies, and avoiding other threats. The protagonist is able to take over the weapons of bosses he defeats. He can also bounce from walls and slide on sloping surfaces. As the players progress through the game, they obtain new equipment pieces that increase the power of the protagonist.
Mega Man X Legacy Collection features only a singleplayer mode. In addition to a story campaign, the package includes a special mode in which the players are fighting two selected bosses simultaneously, by using three weapons. The results are uploaded to an online scoreboard.
The games available in Mega Man X Legacy Collection feature two-dimensional, pixel-art graphics. The visuals were refreshed by increasing their resolution. It is also possible to play each game in their original form. The compilation features a soundtrack with new music tracks.

GamesBeat: 90 / 100 by Mike Minotti
Mega Man X Legacy Collection is out now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Capcom gave us codes for all platforms for this review.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 7 / 10 by Dylan Bishop
The X Collection disappoints on that front, but it's still Mega Man X at heart. It's undeniably entertaining to explore every level, backtrack for new upgrades, and go toe-to-toe with themed bosses. I miss the save functionality and don't see the point of having two separate games, but the Mega Man X Legacy Collections are fully worth a play.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
All told, Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a fantastic re-release of several must-play gaming classics, presenting them as authentically as possible while still including a few modern features on top that help to improve the overall experience and keep it from feeling antiquated. Throw in the new X Challenge mode and an enormous archive of museum content and this stands as the definitive way to play the Mega Man X games in the modern era. Four fantastic games, a bevy of extra content, and the ability to play at home or on the go make this one an easy recommendation.
