Gameplay:
On the surface it's very much like past 2D Metroid games with a new coat of paint and several quality of life changes. Some bosses get reused but there's definitely a lot more variety than Samus Returns. Avoiding EMMIs is really dreadful.
Story:
It has a summary of past games (or at least what you need to know to understand this one) and picks up quick. The game is definitely more gameplay heavy than story heavy but when the story is there is nice. I'm really happy with how it builds off of Fusion and the Chozo memories from Samus Returns. Two ending reveals blew my mind.
Overall my new favorite Metroid. My only complaints are it's fairly short and it was a little hard figuring out where I needed to go a few times.
