after replaying the game I can finally say.... yeah this is the best metroid game.

the thing I don't really like about it is that the music is a bit forgettable even now after just finishing the game for a second time I can't remember any of the music, and after playing metroid prime where I stood still in some areas just to listen to the music its definitely a big let down but you know its music it doesn't really matter.

another thing I noticed after replaying it is that the game is WAYYYY less hard than I remembered it being, idk if im just a god gamer now or if the game's difficulty is just like that.

anyways yeah great game
