I've never played a Metroid game before this. I've always played Metroidvanias like Sundered and Ori and the Blind Forest, but never the real deal. And after playing it and beating it in 13 hours, I really enjoyed my experience with it. Lots to do, fun gameplay, great mechanics, beautiful graphics, epic soundtrack, and a neat story made this game worth the $80.00 I spent on it. To fans of Metroid games and Metroidvanias, I highly recommend this game. I also recommend this game to those who want something challenging, it does get quite hard to play at times but it's really worth it.
