Unfairly maligned for doing something different with the metroid formula.
People complain that it sacrifices the more open exploration and sense of isolation of Super, and that's true (to some extent), but it does that deliberately to better emphasize the claustrophobic, oppressive and tense aspects of the series instead.
Everything they claimed to want to do with dread they had already done with infinitely more success here.
Just be open to appreciating it on its own terms.
