Overall, this was a solid game. The level design was nice, the art style was lovely, and combat and exploration were both fun. The only real issues I had with it were that certain boss fights just felt like they lasted way too long (not as bad as Samus Returns and it's "bosses can only be meaningfully damaged by counters" long, but still, they dragged), and the EMMI sections weren't great. They relied on a lot of trial and error gameplay or getting lucky with positioning, and that just doesn't feel like good game design. That being said, I wouldn't say those two things detracted from the game enough to recommend against it, and if you're a fan of Metroid or of the genre in general, I highly recommend this game.
