I liked this a lot in the end. What struck me was how well paced it was for the most part - I never found myself getting particularly lost or stuck as the design was very good at guiding me in the right direction. I enjoyed the cutscenes with angry Samus too.

A few reservations though: I don't think the EMMI sections all worked that well (though I'd have been a lot more unhappy if it didn't have the quick restart feature) and the Switch did end up feeling a bit creaky towards the end. It could have done with another area or two as well, as you basically get the final upgrade and then immediately go to the final boss. The lack of a decent fast travel system didn't help, though in its favour you can cross the map fairly fast.
