Reading around on the internet, I get the impression that many fans consider this an easy game, even too easy according to some (who I'd guess were already pros at the older games and this style of thing when this came out). I found it noticeably harder than Mega Man 2 and 3 personally. Even after researching recommended boss orders and strategies, some of the big fights in this game gave me a lot of trouble. There are some platforming moments in here that I found harder than anything in those older games as well, especially later in my playthrough.
But the challenge in most (not all) cases is a relatively enjoyable one, at least. Bosses like Storm Eagle and Sting Chameleon were really cool here and not really that hard at all. I think my ideal Mega Man game would be more like the classic ones in terms of core mechanics and level design, but a bit closer to this game's weapons, boss design, and presentation.
