There is definitely some input lag as others have said but overall this is a solid package. The input lag is pretty rough in X1 but X2 and beyond it's much more bearable. All the little extras and goodies make it worth the $20 buckeroos in my humble opinion.

As a newcomer to the series, the skill curve is astronomically high, but still satisfying. I'm a certified MMX fan now. In general, all four of these games are fantastic and should be experienced by anyone who is looking for: a) challenge b) engaging platforming and action c) exploration d) awesome video game music. The Rookie Hunter Mode also helps out a lot if you are struggling and want to get the hang of things for repeat playthroughs. I do have individual grievances with some of the games, but overall these games have shot up in my all-time favorites. I might ramble so the TLDR is they're great and you should definitely play them all at least once. X1 - Easily the best and my favorite. Controls are fluid, stages and bosses are engaging, challenge is high but fair and I never felt like I wasted a single minute. The ability to choose which stages to prioritize was awesome, and I really liked being able to nab the upgrades at my leisure with little to no back tracking. My only hiccup was in the Sigma stages, but even then I beat it after trial and error (except for the wolf. Screw that thing lol). X2 - Not as good as the first but definitely my second favorite of the collection. The backtracking in this game is worse than the first, but it's not egregious. I actually think the Armor Upgrades were better than the first game's, with the Double X-Buster and the Screen Wipe Chest piece being the standouts. Air dodging was also VERY appreciated. My main gripe with this game is the X-Hunters, particularly when trying to get the Zero pieces. Finding and fighting them is more of a hassle than anything else, no surprise that people just gloss over them and get the bad ending. I ended up triggering multiple Game Overs intentionally so that I could take all the X-Hunters out in one stage without beating it, much easier that way. Overall though, this game is very satisfying and nice sequel story-wise. X3 - It starts off extremely strong with the opening stage and promise of playing as Zero, and the bosses look even better than the previous games! And then you run face-first into the biggest difficulty curve thus far, and it's not even the game's fault really, but it is the designer's. Individually, these stages and bosses are fine, fun even, but getting all the upgrades in this one becomes tedious. If you go in blind, you'll have to return to certain stages multiple times just to get everything (looking at you Tunnel Rhino!), or forgo certain things. I didn't get to use the rider armor until the end of the game because I decided to do Blast Hornet last, which is a little ridiculous and forced me to go back into stages to get the rider-necessary upgrades. Not to mention, the bosses are incredibly imbalanced with some being cakewalks and others being the bane of my existence. To the game's credit, the challenge and item hunting is probably its biggest appeal, which is why a lot of people love it, but if that's not your thing, Rookie Hunter Mode is right there. Regardless, still had a blast once I adjusted, even if it's my least favorite. And I do think of all the games, X3's ending with Zero and soundtrack are my favorites of the entire collection. Oh, and Zero is playable in X3 if you select him in the pause menu, but his implementation is not good. Starts off really great and his abilities are slightly better than X's at the start, but he quickly becomes irrelevant once you have enough abilities and upgrades. His only purpose later on his killing him for the Beam Sword upgrade to make the final bosses significantly easier, or if you want a nicer ending. Still a fun addition though, in case you want to try and play through some of the game as him. X4 - The quality jump is evident here, and that's not just because of the change in systems. Two characters, two paths with unique stories and abilities, and an absolutely god-tier soundtrack that the PS1 engine can manage. I adored this game when I first started it and right up to the end. Making Zero and X play differently from one another was a genius move, and makes it feel like a completely different game depending on which route you choose. I also think these abilities are the best of the four games, especially Zero's but X has some fantastic weapons too. And although the stages are the longest in the collection, I never felt like I was tired of them (due in part to the great checkpoint system). So it should be my favorite, right? The story of the game is ultimately it's greatest downfall. Both X and Zero have unique characters and story beats, but lets be real, this was Zero's game, and that's not a good thing. X's story is so undercooked that I actually audibly asked "Wait, that's it?" at the end of it. He has no real stakes in the story other than 'go stop the bad guys,' which doesn't work in a story about what it means to be maverick and whether or not the Repliforce is right. Zero gets it better because of his interactions with certain characters and plentiful cutscenes (which X lacks btw), but even then it all feels rushed. And neither character appears throughout the opposite's campaign even though they're on the same team?? Sorry, Zero shows up at the end of X's path in one of his few cutscenes, I guess. However, if you're willing to turn your brain off and play it for what it is, you can understand why some people feel X4 is the best in the entire series. I've only heard mixed to horrific things about X5-8, so I'll probably be waiting for a BIG sale on the second collection. But definitely pick up this one if you're looking to get into these games

It's a solid collection of great platformers, X1 to X3 are the SNES trilogy and are each bangers. I don't love X4 (the PSX-era FMV cutscenes are painful with terrible voice acting and some of the levels are pretty basic) but it grew on me. Having to think of completely different strategies for playing X or Zero is pretty cool. This is definitely the better half of the Mega Man X games, though.

Neat collection of some of the best classic platformers ever. Only problem is it doesn't include X5 (which was the last good game in the series.)

I really enjoyed this collection of games, and I think its one of the best ways to play the Mega Man X Series. Games ran well, and I had no glaring issues or complaints. If you enjoyed the original games when they released then I definitely recommend picking this up.
