Still the perfect transition of 2D Metroid in a 3D environment I remembered playing in the GameCube days.
The scan visor adds so much to the game. Getting to notice secrets in the environment, learning about how Space Pirates and Chozo dealt with Phazon, how Samus presence is acknowledged by the Pirates, a lot of world building that you receive naturally and enhances your perception of events.
And mentioning the world, one of my favorite sections is revisiting the crashed frigate, it makes the game feel more believable in a sense. That ship that was just in the intro above the planet is now there, crashed and flooded, and you really followed the signal to get where you are. The same feeling also applies to seeing the crater during the elevators in Phazon Mines, there are a lot of interesting details you can absorb from the environment.
Also love the new coat of paint, it feels great that it basically is just like what you remembered it looking like. They clearly put a lot of care in updating everything without losing the vibes of the original.
