I didn't particularly care for the original Metroid, I'll be honest. I find it unique for its game design at the time, but incredibly stiff and frustrating to play as a whole.

Years later I gave this a shot and it made it feel better but at its core...

...It's still Metroid but somehow just as boring to me.

I wasn't huge on most of the game compared to Fusion and Super, but especially this game's biggest drag is the entire added endgame and just how bland it honestly looks and feels. I wish I enjoyed this more with what it had to offer, but it feels like unnecessary additions to an already bland game.
