I feel like I enjoyed this game more than most. More of a reboot of Metroid 2 than a remake, especially after playing Dread does it become clear how this is essentially just a prequel to that game above all else. The gameplay is pretty great, I love the combat (melee counter mostly) and the bosses are pretty fun. I also really enjoyed a lot of the new additions, especially the new final boss... The soundtrack was quite lacking though, a theme which unfortunately continues in Metroid Dread.
