It’s fun and probably ahead of its time but I don’t think it holds up as well compared to recent metroidvanias. thats probably an unfair comparison since Metroid spawned the genre but I find it hard to go back in time. The beginning is easy to follow but then I needed a guide starting with the mid-game.

if you’re a person with limited game-time in your life and k my want to play the best games, I think you can skip this one.
