Holy crap this was good! The art and music are beautiful, and I loved the cutscenes, they made me hyped for what was coming. Very fun, short and sweet metroidvania. Played the game on normal difficulty and can't say I really had any trouble until they introduced the Metroids. The whole area leading up to the "final boss" almost felt like survival horror, the way they made you rush a lot of rooms in a row without allowing you to rest. THE MOTHER BRAIN FIGHT MADE ME SCREAM

The whole endgame area was super cool, and suddenly it becomes stealth game. It wasn't even in the NES original as far as I know. I really liked the hiding mechanic and chase sequences. When you finally get your suit back, you feel so goddamn frickin' powerful. This was my first time playing a Metroid game, and I have a feeling I'm gonna love this series.
