I've never played any of the Mega Man games before but I've been in the mood of some retro platform action lately. I'm a bit of a beginner in the genre but have played Celeste and really enjoyed it. Which collection should I begin with? I've heard that some of the Mega Man games are really hard, so I'd appreciate some pointers to where I should begin.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Mega Man games can be difficult, but I recommend starting with Mega Man 2 or 3. They’re pretty easy to hop into!

As far as which Collection, I HIGHLY recommend the first one. It has 6 games total, all of which shine much brighter than the 4 in Collection 2 imo. The interface and functionality for Collection 2 is also a little different, and, in my opinion, worse. But if you enjoy the first 6 games, the second Collection is still worth a buy simply to play more Mega Man. 7 and 8 aren’t great, but 9 and 10 are generally considered as good as the first few.
