God, this is such a reviewer cliche at this point, but this truly is the game from the "what if 2D never went away?" dimension. It's really slick and fast paced but keeps the atmosphere thick and creamy. I fucking love all the boss battles, in terms of art and game design. The first game in my opinion that made the Metroid power crawl rewarding rather than a boring return to status quo. A MAJOR RECOMMEND FROM ME.
