HOLY CRAP
okay that was a good game. great story, fantastic music, genuinely enjoyable levels. i think sometimes its a bit too finicky? like the homing attack specifically, and bosses feel like they werent designed with the rhythm aspect in mind. but overall, a great game
also, as someone with a heart transplant myself, i love the representation

i dont think i enjoyed the overall game as much as Earthbound, but its a different style of game. Earthbound is sillier, and this game is very serious. however, this game is insanely good. an incredible ending, lots of weirdness along the way, and memorable characters that are all incredibly well-written. i cant recommend it enough

DAMMMMMNNNNNN
so i played this game on Dolphin in 1080p with mouse and keyboard. whatever
second playthrough really made me appreciate this game a lot more. its so well-made, so thought-out. its absolutely incredible. plus the optional hint system makes it an incredibly accessible Metroid game as well. but the atmosphere, the lore, the areas, the whole concept is executed so well. my biggest conplaint is the backtracking is a bit execessive at times. mainly in Phazon Mines, where you have to do a lot of platforming that can set you back a good bit if you arent careful. its not too bad and doesnt kill the experience. but yeah, great game overall, even today

this game, even after numerous patches, is still in a very sorry state. i have a 3080Ti, and 16 gigs of ram in my PC, and i still got frame rate issues and textures that refused to load in all the way. the game is poorly optimized to an absurd degree. the objectives you do in the game are also pitiful. you go to a bowling alley, grab one food item, and leave. go to the golf course, grab a security badge and camera, then leave. some quests are interesting and fun, but theres a lot of walking through a barren landscape. in a purely objective way, this game is not good
and yet, idk i had fun. subjectively speaking, i really enjoyed it. i wont blame anyone for hating it, or for thinking its the worse game ever. but i had fun. id give it a higher score if i was basing this off my own personal feelings

the game is BRIMMING with personality, its absolutely hilarious, and the movement systen feels SO good. its fantastic. the story is very stupid, and pretty much serves as a reason to move around. my main complaint: i encounter quite a few bugs throughout my playthrough. cutscenes not loading, softlocking the game, getting stuck in a building, audio not playing. nothing that completely ruined the experience, but it definitely didnt help. with some more polish, i think this would be a near-perfect experience. but its definitely one of my favorite games, in spite of its flaws

its not always the most interesting, but this is a very under-rated game. it has quite a few unique ideas, its level design is fun, and the animated cutscenes are beautiful even now. its not much about speed, however. it plays more like a giant pinball machine instead. its not quite as fun, but its still great. very colorful worlds, and a GOATED soundtrack. yeah, this is great
