Super Metroid is a magical game that I wasn't expecting to like nearly as much as I did. The atmosphere is brilliant and the memorable music only adds to it. It still holds up great 25+ years later, aside from some minor things such as the map and some floaty controls. I often find myself wanting to replay this game every time I think about it, and luckily it only takes one or two sittings to finish. I love how it teaches you how to use items through the level design rather than text, and it tells its own story without using text as well. Super Metroid is the perfect game for a quick burst of classic fun with masterful game design.
