In the moment-to-moment gameplay this is the best the series has ever been, but I think it lacks the moody atmospheric spirit of the Metroid games. The level design is fantastic, but the world design is boring, that type of stuff.
This ends up being a second run on a modern Metroid game instead of the proper sequel to Super that we've been promised, which is fine because the formula is still good. But I do think it's time to freshen it up when the inevitable Metroid 6 rolls around.

MercurySteam has proven itself, twice now. They can do a kickass Metroid game, we believe it. Now they just have to do it.

(Samus speaking Chozo was the "I am the FBI" of videogames, just pure soul-lifting fanservice. The closest thing to a religious experience I'll ever have tbh)
