Thus ends my wee run of Metroid playthroughs. Had a great time, once again. The thrill of exploring in this is fantastic. I left it long enough from my previous run that I couldn't quite remember half of what was coming, so that was pretty cool. Unless it's my age, in which case, uh oh!

Like Prime, I decided to run this one through in hard mode, and I have to say I did struggle at some points, which is a different story to last time, where I breezed through it, but that was coming straight off my original completion back at release. It was just as rewarding, however, and by the time I got to the final boss, I was fine with taking as many attempts as necessary to get there. I couldn't be arsed with 100% completion however and I managed to do it in a few minutes shy of 10 hours.

A very good game, that I have enjoyed coming back to at least 3 times now. And I doubt it'll be the last.
