Metroid - Ranked

All of the mainline Metroid games I've played so far ranked!

Note: Mainline refers to the 2-D main installments and their respective remakes.
Do not whine about AM2R.

A perfect blend of what makes the series so special. Instant classic. The best game in the series. 10/10
A nearly perfect development of ideas introduced in Super with an effective linear approach and a more detailed narrative. 10/10
A genre-defining classic that has continued to eclipse its successors in quality. 10/10
A fantastic remake that serves as a great introduction to the series. 9/10
A passionate and entertaining fan-remake of Metroid 2 that has become the definitive way to experience the game. 9/10
A remake that technically improves on the original with smart ideas, but still Metroid 2 at the end of the day. 5/10
A mediocre sequel whose strenghts lie in atmosphere and style. 5/10
A classic that I can appreciate for its influence that is almost unplayable by today's standard due to how obtuse and annoying it is by design. 3/10
