    Great 2D sidescroller. Fun and challenging. Best Metroid since the GBA games. Not more of that FPV stuff!

    Wish this came out for my switch, but that's alright. It's fun to get the old school style sidescroller.

    The original Metroid II has some good concepts and played for the most part ok. It had severe issues and on a system thats outdated. This remake fixes most of those issues so it plays more like a traditional metroid, that being said, this game is super hard so be ready

    I’ll keep this short and sweet. Metroid: Samus Returns is a return to form for 2D Metroid games and a welcome one as far as this girl is concerned. It’s vibrant, challenging, and it doesn’t waste time on silly plot threads or minutia. It’s got the adventure without making it too difficult (not that you have to take the “shortcuts”). While I will say that it’s not absolutely perfect, namely in how the enemies and environments pretty much stay the same throughout, it’s a lot of fun and well worth the time and money I spent on it. :D P.S.: I like the melee attack.

    The game is good but falls well short of great. It is much more action than exploration.

    It is a great game but do not buy it if you are expecting a lot of boss battles. There are a few but the main focus is to defeat 40 metroids. Parrying is a new cool feature and you will use it a lot. Overall it's a pretty good game.

    I have been playing the game and I have to say, it plays well. I like the little details added and the counterattack mechanic isn't as necessary as I thought it would be. Plus, if you own a 3DS, the 3D effect looks nice too.
