This game has a lot of things I do like about it but it's just kinda mid overall. It's a fun game (and has easily the best bosses in the series pre-Mercury Steam) but I really have no desire to replay it at all for obvious reasons. I totally get why the gameplay style is a part of the story, it just doesn't make for that interesting or well designed of a game. Not to mention the actual design flaws like the little NES progression moments or the map design. I respect what the game is trying to do, I just don't really care about a Metroid game that isn't replayable.
