This game possesses an unmatched atmosphere, and it's probably the pinnacle of the Metroid series. Riley is an iconic villain, and Samus is someone that many other video game heroines should strive to be. Exploring the planet feels almost real considering it's a 2D game from many decades ago: the music and the way the gameplay presents itself are fundamental in this regard. You, as the player, are as lost and on guard as the corageous, but in peril, protagonist.

Maybe the greatest 2D JRPG of all time. I consider it one step up ahead of the masterpiece that is Final Fantasy VI, on the technical side. Gameplay full of exploration and action, incredible soundtrack, memorable dialogues and characters, character design by Akira Toriyama, graphics so detailed and full of color. Truly a once in a lifetime achievement of human history.
