X6 is fun as Zero. Has a cheat code to skip straight to Black Zero too if you really want to fight fire with fire. It's got the music going for it too. The design isn't good and what it did to the lore after Zero hid himself while he tried to repair himself despite his own choices in X5's ending, it does have the X4/5 gameplay as a foundation with a huge dose of chaos added to it.

I did multiple playthroughs of X7 and the power trip novelty wears off fast. They also make you unlock X which is something all right. Some of the levels are more tedious than X6 as well. Ride Boarski (that was the name right)'s level is just a weird driving minigame, the air level was kind of finnicky. That computer world level where you constantly flip upside down was a seizure and one of Red's levels is a boring autoscroller where you run from a slow steamroller.

X7 does have Barry Burton voicing the antagonist though so I'll concede that. Oh and the robotic graveyard aesthetic for the boss refights was something I liked. Sigma's 1st phase has a good song too.
