A fine addition to the Metroid series. It plays extremely well, there's very few issues mechanically, and it's overall just a blast to play.
I only have a few issues. I wasn't huge on Samus acting as a silent protagonist, it felt like a step back from Fusion in some regards. Mercury Steam's art direction is also a mixed bag; some things look great, but other elements feel lacking in comparison to the rich sprite-based visuals of Zero Mission or Fusion, or the excellent visual design work Team Ninja did in Metroid: Other M. It definitely looks better design-wise compared to Samus Returns, though.
Overall, it's a great game and I sincerely hope we get more 2D Metroid entries.
