Finally getting to play this classic thanks to the Switch remaster. This is one of my favorite looking games on the console with the texture overhauls. I wasn't sure what to expect when it starts aboard the pirate ship, but I was hooked as soon as Samus emerged from her ship on Tallon IV. Incredible atmosphere and music. The best parts of this game are exploring it and living in it, and unfortunately the worst parts are how often you have to retread it and how lackluster the combat can be. Still, the puzzles are fun and the vibes are phenomenal. I can see why it's so beloved.
