Mega Man ZX gets a lot right, but suffers from some frustrating design which, while designed to offer more challenge, ends up making the game difficult, problematic and confusing.
The most complained about issue with this game may be the map. It's convoluted and doesn't clearly present direction you need to proceed in or multiple entry and exit points. Though teleporters exist to help you get back and forth between areas you've cleared, it's very easy to get lost and very difficult to remember where specific points in the map are.
Next is the difficulty. Enemy boss characters have far more health than you do and unless you memorized their pattern or know how to cheat their invincibility frame buffers, you're stuck in a war of attrition against them till one of you dies.
The next issue is the item system. Some of the items - specifically - the biometals can be damaged when you collect them if you don't beat bosses perfectly. This means you'll have less weapon energy for your new weapon and be forced to grind powerup crystals till you can repair them. It can seriously hinder your progress if you aren't powered up properly.
The other issue is the side-quests. Some of the most important items are buried under side-quests, buried under dialogue, buried under side quests. Even with Youtube walkthroughs I had problems finding and unlocking some items as it wasn't as simple as just finding them or defeating an enemy. Two of the energy tanks are buried in some seriously frustrating and tedious gameplay challenges but you'll want to have them since the game's difficulty ramps up considerably as you near the end.
The OMEGA battle, especially presents an issue as he'll cut your life by more than 75% by connecting one of his attacks.
Aside from the negative issues, ZX is an awesome game. The music is fantastic and the sound effects are good as well. There was a save point issue with this game but the ZX collection fixes it with a save assist.
