Absolutely incredible, this is my second favorite Metroid game for sure (under Dread). I remember having a few “Metroid Moments” but they don’t stick out hard enough as having been too frustrating like some of the other games have. I love the boss fights, the world design, and the postgame story. I’m not sure why but I simply really love the progression of items and exploration in this one, more than even Super Metroid. I’d honestly say this is THE Metroid game to play first, even aside from Super or Dread. The postgame story is very fun too, expanding on Samus' origins and offering some tense gameplay. THIS is how you remake and reimagine a classic game that didn’t stand the test of time as well.
