One of the best metroidvania experiences I've had. ZDR is a fascinating place to explore and you need to be clever with your skills to get around and defeat bosses. Running from the EMMIs was terrifying each time, and it felt so cool each time I could finally defeat one. Samus got stronger with each upgrade, and I felt myself get stronger as I mastered how to use each of them. The final boss was at least 15% of my play time tho, phase 3 was stupid hard. This was a difficult game, but one that wanted you to succeed- all the tools are there, but it's up to you to figure out how to use them
