Super Metroid is one of the finest games I've played. It's aesthetically perfect and the gameplay holds up unbelievably well for its time. There are some really frustrating sections but controlling Samus is so satisfying that the tedium barely matters. It's really easy to get lost exploring Zebes and I feel like that's just the best way to experience this game (I'll admit I was looking at a map forever). Godlike soundtrack, amazing level design, badass female protagonist, swagged out bosses, a captivating story with zero dialogue...how else can I sell this?

If I was born a little bit earlier I think me and my dad would've been up late unraveling this gorgeous masterpiece.
