I have to log and review this as part of my Retro Games Bucket List (if I don't then they'll detonate the collar locked around my neck), but let's be honest, there's nothing that can be said about Super Metroid that hasn't already been reiterated a hundred thousand times before.

Especially by me, a casual Super Metroid enjoyer. What could I possibly say? I don't even have a single "speedrun strat" committed to memory, I'm like a babe in the woods! You know exactly what this game is, you've probably reviewed it yourself. Zebes' labyrinthine structure is no doubt burned into your memory more clearly than it is my own, its secrets and winding tunnels more recognizable to you than the streets of your home town.

"It's aesthetically brilliant, eerie and atmospheric. The sense of isolation is superb" Dumbass. Idiot. Everybody says that. What are you even doing?

"Well, progress can be a little obtuse at times, and the controls feel a bit dated, clunky even, but it's still a lot of fun to play" ohhhh, well look who finally decided to show up to the party! Thanks for the input, George. This game came out in 1994, your grandma played it.

It's a good game. Everyone likes Super Metroid.
