This is a tough review to write because it's hard to say what hasn't already been said. Growing up, I wasn't as keen on Search-Action games as I am now but my recent playthrough of Super Metroid a few years ago changed that.
The exploration is very well done here as many others have said, the detail on the spritework is astronomical for the SNES, and the atmosphere is otherworldly. The boss fights are pretty challenging and fun. My only draw was that I didn't like Maridia and found it very frustrating but every other area, especially lategame Norfair, was very enjoyable. An amazing game for surely.
