incredibly linear for a metroid game but it doesn't matter to me. fine tuned to a razors edge. fun as fuck and one of the few games that i used to be able to speed run (back in the day.)
the first impressions of this game are incredible but as a video game it's really fucking mid. the story is god tier but jesus i will never play this again because i find the actual game play so middling.
this game is like a fine wine that has aged EXCEPTIONALLY well but when you drink it you realize that there are some ants in your glass. "this wine is delicious but... are there ANTS in here?"
