They don’t hit the purity of design that Mega Man classic has, the fluidity and exciting kinetic dynamism that Mega Man X has, or the sheer highs that Mega Man Legends has.

Here's a studio that has made a name of itself as one of the best developers in a specific genre, but has, for some reason, decided to veer completely off track to chase a few trends. Arkane's new open world looter shooter loses so much of what the developer's best games have always been known for, an issue that is exacerbated by the fact that the new things it does attempt, it doesn't really succeed at.
