It's Super Metroid.
It has some clunky controls, some moments of confusing design, and a severe lack of QoL enhancements, but it's Super Metroid. It's 29 years old and still so full of modern-day world design. The fact that after all this time it stands as one of the defining titles of the genre it singlehandedly spawned into existence is nothing short of a MIRACLE. It's still so smart, so fun to explore, and so full of surprises. It guides you silently and teases with your expectations at every left corner. At a time when games seem hell-bent on helping you every step of the way, Super Metroid wants YOU to be the explorer charting through Planet Zebes. And it's still so refreshing after all these years. It's Super Metroid. It's. SUPER. METROID.
Yeah I still prefer Hollow Knight but I'm still blown away by this little gem. I couldn't be happier that so many games in its style exist now, and the Metroid series is finally on stable legs (again). See you next mission, Samus!
