A fantastic game and an incredible jumping on point for the series. Samus controls like absolute butter and just running across the map feels incredible. The game does a wonderful job at guiding the player without feeling like its holding your hand.

My biggest issue with the game is the bosses, with the exception of the final I just did not find them fun. Samus gets some wonderfully flashy attacks that feel ripped right out of DMC game thanks to the counter system and those are great, but it just felt as if they killed the pacing for me. Also the water area sucks.

Absolute wonderful game all around and I cannot wait to see this series continue.
