I've played most of the Zero games and never a single Megaman game. What did I miss out on?

>Good gameplay
>Rich story
>Amazing OST for a GBA
>Hard as balls to keep casuals out
Overall really good tho, also:
Z3 > Z4 > Z2 > Z1

only 3.
The rest sucked imo

It's unironically the most consistently good Mega Man series, mostly thanks to the fact that it had the good grace to end itself before it could produce a bad game.

>2 solid games
>One borderline challenging kino
>weakest point was the first which was only easy
yes, good.

It was the best series in the entire Megaman franchise.

I've only played Zero 1 and it's bizarre. The game starts and is stupidly hard. Probably harder than any Megaman game. Plus you have this dumb gimmick of only being able to attempt levels once. You can back out, but that checks the stage as failed and the game continues. You can literally just fail your way through the game, but then possible get into a soft locked state.

So it's hard, but then you can do this absurdly long grind to unlock and use the fairies, a pretty big gimmick of the game hidden behind this long grind, and once you take the time to use them, the game becomes trivial. The balancing of the difficulty is really lousy.

Everything else is sick though.

the first one is a bit rough around the edges. The other three are more polished and they get rid of the moveset level grinding after 2. 2 is my favorite regardless of that dumbass feature though.

Fuck it, don't care.

They're great games but the artstyle of them is not great. It's not as bad ingame but still.
Z1 is interesting because it almost feels like an indie game, I actually quite like it even with its flaws since it's the most consistently difficult entry. Z2's difficulty is good but Z3 and Z4 are disappointingly easy.
