Overall, the gameplay is characterized by its short duration, typically ranging from 30 to 47 minutes, which many players found enjoyable but wished for more content.

- “Megaman 11 is an amazing entry to the series, with the new gear system mechanic that lets you increase attacks and stop time for a limited amount, not to mention the fantastic level designs and boss fights.
