Blows away all expectations. Felt like playing an advanced version of super metroid or Metroid fusion. 10 out 10.

Metroid 5, another excellent entry in the long running series. Samus is fast, responsive and agile like never before in a large, beautiful 2D world full of secrets and shortcuts. Building on the features introduced in the 3DS remake of Metroid II, Samus can fire in 360 degrees and melee counter the fast and dangerous enemies, discover powerups new and old using the most detailed map in Metroid (or almost any Metroidvania), and uncover the secrets of the ancient Chozo and the X-parasite.

A unique yet wonderful return to the 2D Metroid series after 18-20 years! Launch yourself into the oncoming threat, as Samus journey's through the deadly, yet hostile ZDR. From the gameplay feeling smooth as ever, to the enemies being challenging yet rewarding, giving those who go the extra mile to explore, experiment, a way to come out on top. How will you choose to defend and journey through the dangerous new planet with threats and enemies alike..?

My first Metroid game since the original (which I remember being impossible as a child) so I certainly approached it with some trepidation. It is certainly challenging at moments, you will die and perhaps get lost as well. But it never felt too challenging to discourage playing. The story is interesting, the levels are gorgeous (I played on an OLED Switch) and the gameplay is fluid. It really does build on itself so you never feel out of depth or unprepared.
