With sublime visuals, tight and exquisite controls (yeah), this is, honestly, the most exciting Metroid game to play. Level design is just as expected and actually doesn't do much more than Fusion did so long ago, but... just controlling Samus is quite an experience that captivates you to the very end.
Additionally, while there are plenty of Metroidvania sidescrollers with robust visuals just as Dread (Ori, Hollow Knight), very few dare to push the production values so high, as the zoomings and over the top action scenes exemplify; the game isn't afraid from showing everything it has to offer up close, a sign that tells you that the devs could probably pass this as a rudimentary modern 3D action game if they wanted.
