Bustin_Jieber reviewed Metroid Fusion
For every reason this game is dragged, it picks itself up for me. It having constraint, giving you little control in the first half, deemphasized exploration, with points of no return and frequent save points. These parts of the game are considered flaws, but they are deliberate design choices that make it so the game gradually, opening up closer to the end feels more earned. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Stay with me here, but it abides by the ludic contract it signs. Striking the gauge of player engagement in ways that games from turn of the century and the sensibilities that came from it don’t live up to. Metroid Fusion is masterful at utilizing gameplay to tell the story, as well as enriching it.

Whether it’s the best Metroid game or not is up in the air, every Metroid game shares enough to make it so any one of them could be the linchpin of the day. Being consistent as the series as, that is if we don’t talk about Federation Force or Other M… cough, that means that no one game toughs the other out. They all have merit and are of equal footing even if they do things slightly better than the others. Metroid (1986) setting motion what we would come to know now. Metroid II: Return of Samus underpinning the baseline for what makes it what it is. Super Metroid revolutionizing the industry. Metroid Fusion interlocking each one of its design strands and offering the most cohesive narrative experience. Metroid Dread doing literally everything right the rest did but I guess it has the weakest soundtrack and atmosphere or something, which is patently incorrect but those are the recurring points against it for some reason. They are all masterpieces basically.

Metroid Fusion is, or wait no, it was my favorite because of the above. Metroid Dread done came and wrecked house but Metroid Fusion still reserved its special place in my heart. Outdoing the active threat that is the SA-X, which packs the same arsenal that you do, coming across all manner of grotesqueries, uncovering the secrets of the B.S.L. Research Station, and coming out the other end saving the galaxy once again. It was an unforgettable experience. Oh, and it only came in underpowered pocket form when technical advancements in the console space were the craze, on the SAME DAY AS METROID PRIME! It’s like they wanted to kill 2D Metroid man what the hell.
