It's the Metroid of all time.

The feeling of discovery and progression in the first half is great, with the world building and upgrade path being paced great. You discover new items/areas as you learn more!

The remaster improves fidelity and framerate which I really liked, but the audio and gameplay remain feeling older. Especially the heavy backtracking and spongy enemies make the second half of the game a little frustrating. Going into the game blind as well makes it frustrating when missing a single ledge or path that was the only way forward.

It is a legendary game for a reason, spawning a whole genre, but keep in mind these drawbacks!
