I believe in you.Am still trying to beat Corpious.

That's the fun thing about Metroid. I've always loved the exploration and the way Samus spins and generally moves.I’m a completionist with stuff like this - plus it’s just a lot of fun exploring.

Last boss is hard, going to try and finish it tonight, not many items left to get now.Does she take her clothes off at the end again?
Listen, I know we've had our differences in the past but I wish you the best of luck mate. I really do.Last boss is hard, going to try and finish it tonight, not many items left to get now.

Have you put this game down since you got it?
Yeah this is one of my few issues with the game too. Some noticeable frame rate drops at times too.Finally got a chance to give it a go after a hectic weekend. Love it so far...only issue is I usually play on a Series X/PS5 and the Switch on a 4K screen just doesn't cut it...I'm not talking about fancy graphics, just the reduction in resolution is disappointingly noticeable.

Good write-up. Agree about the importance of music too. Both Super Metroid and Prime have ominous but memorable music that really adds to the world. It's a shame if it's not present here.Have just finished it. Final boss wasn’t too bad in the end, just requires very quick reflexes and learning the bosses moves (good luck @Spoony). Still a challenge though. Have now unlocked hard mode so tempted by another playthrough…..
Overall though very impressed with this, a really fantastic game. Excellent design and the world is just so fun to explore. Enemy/boss battles are varied and fun and it really does require a level of skill to beat the game, as some of the bosses are a real challenge (which I always like, but it may put some players off).
I’d say my major disappointment was the soundtrack, just really not well done. I think back to Super Metroid and every area had a unique and memorable soundtrack, whereas this wasn’t the case here. Even at the end when you’re escaping the music was incredibly dull and really doesn’t fill you with the sense the planet is about to implode. Contrast that with the escape them from SM below and the difference is stark.
Another minor gripe was the forced linearity at times. It would have been nice to be able to traverse back to different areas to go do some exploring and finding of items, but at times these were inaccessible. This is just a minor gripe though.
But yeah, overall loved it. I really hope we see more 2D Metroid’s in the future (and a Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Switch!).
I haven’t no, it’s been on my list for a while so I may get to it soon. Worth it I take it?Good write-up. Agree about the importance of music too. Both Super Metroid and Prime have ominous but memorable music that really adds to the world. It's a shame if it's not present here.
Out of interest, did you play Bloodstained? I know it's a different kind of game but it's my favourite Metroidvania of recent years not called Hollow Knight. Wondering how this compares...
Yeah was really good. Played via gamepass - obligatory mention - in hope more than expectation but it really sucked me in. Good exploration and really fun combat.I haven’t no, it’s been on my list for a while so I may get to it soon. Worth it I take it?

Yeah, SM is in the GOAT tier of games. This is still very very good and very fun. I’m going to do another playthrough on hard.So not as good as SM but very good regardless?
My son did. He's only 6.
Elv, how do I get past that weird mushroom on fire thingy in Artaria after you get the cloak??
You can't yet, need to wait for a certain power up.Elv, how do I get past that weird mushroom on fire thingy in Artaria after you get the cloak??
