Proof that Metroid as a franchise can still offer incredible and relevant Metroidvania experiences in a post-Hollow Knight / Ori world. The best combat and (arguably) game of any 2D Metroid, completely enhanced by an amazing parry and super tight movement. With an engaging story and killer pace, I can only hope Nintendo keeps giving developer MercurySteam this IP for future installments.
