While this improved on the first Metroid, whenever I play it I find it to be sloppy and easy to get lost in. The first act is pretty good. During this part the world is constrained enough where it's not too hard to find the way forward. However, as it gets into the late game the game the the way forward gets more and more confusing, more and more obtuse, more and more random. The physics and controls are also very unrefined. This just isn't all the way there.
