Easily the best Metroid game to date (surpassing Super Metroid by a mile, despite the nostalgia for it), with the highlights being EMMIs and bosses. The game is very well designed, from traversal to combat, secrets and some of the best character controls on switch. I finished the game on Normal and Hard, currently into the Dread mode. Each playthrough was a blast, even though the difference between Normal and Hard is barely noticeable (more damage dealt by enemies). I really hope the series will continue strong and we won't have to wait so long for the next entry.
