What I did like:
For the first original Metroid entry we've had in years, this was a fantastic return to form. It builds on everything that Samus Returns did and delivers more. There are some stutters, but gameplay is fluid and responsive and the powerups make everything worth the exploration.
The story is simple but streamlined. It doesn't waste a lot of time and the cutscenes were awesome. I was relieved to find out that in the entire game Samus only speaks once.
What I didn't like:
Only one thing. Those damn shinespark puzzles. I may have beaten Normal Mode at 100%, but it was at the cost of my sanity.
