Jeremy Parish called Monster World II a "masterpiece" of the Metroidvania genre. MWIII then, is the 16-bit evolution of that masterpiece. Westone is not given enough recognition for their contribution to the medium, and I think it's notable how many modern games are still similar to this 1991 gem. It's simplistic by modern standards, sure, but that simplicity—along with its pleasant visuals—make for a comfy game that's a breeze to revisit. A classic.
