Mega Man Zero 2

🎮 Game Boy Advance ⏳ 8 hours ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

Refined High-Speed Combat #

This title builds upon the strong foundation of the first game, delivering even tighter action-platforming with a sharper focus on skill and customization. The game introduces new forms and EX skills, rewarding players for specific playstyles and adding depth to Zero’s abilities. The difficulty remains high but fair, with intense boss fights and fast-paced stages. While not being a huge improvement compared to the first title, these few, but well implemented mechanics, adds to the gameplay in a sense that it doesn’t feel like it is just a content addition, since it was release fairly close to the previous one.

Zero’s Defining Sequel #

The story expands the post-apocalyptic world and deepens the resistance-versus-Copy X conflict, giving Zero a stronger emotional arc. While the ranking system can feel punishing, overall, Zero 2 is a refined, challenging sequel that cements the series’ identity. This is definitely a must-play for people like me, that, forever fantasized about a series focused on Zero instead of X, and fortunately, we got one for the GBA platform.
