I played this, Super Metroid and Fusion for the first time this year within about a month. This one was easily my favorite of them. It was the best paced, had the best/most memorable boss fights, and I felt it did the best job of guiding the player with where to go next without reaching Fusions level of handholding.

Big surprise for me considering I tried a few hours of the devs previous Metroid (Samus Returns) and dropped it because I found it mediocre.
