This was definitely the game that came before OiF and was a return to the franchise after a decade. It has some game play design problems that just made it off putting to play. Every time something is added to the lore around the winged ones, it just feels like its adding another metal or another nation the winged ones came from. It works well enough, but it isn't as impactful when that race is gone and only various artifacts remain. Unlike Metroid: Fusion, there isn't some change to possible threats from knowing about the past of this extinct race. For the most part, everything around them has been solved and all that's left is knowing a magic resource exists.
