    Really great remake of an amazing game. This is the franchise that spawned the Metroidvania and we haven’t gotten a Metroid game in years. This was needed. Atmosphere, graphics, gameplay, challenge, all perfect.

    The game is awesome! I never got to play the original back on the Gameboy so this was a treat. The gameplay feels so good! If you are a Metroid fan don’t miss out on one of the best Metroid games in a long time.

    Seems like Mercurysteam can do no wrong with classic properties. First Castlevania, now Metroid. Samus Returns may not be a new title in the Metroid universe, but it feels as fresh as a brand new entry. Highly recommended.

    Best 3DS game?

    Metroid Samus Returns is possibly the best 2D Metroid to date and even morose the best Metroid period. If that doesn't say much then hear this...it's possibly the best 3DS game. What a way to end the 3DS life cycle. Get this immediately!

    This game is fun and gets better the further you go as you collect new powers and abilities. The 3D is great too. The only complaint is the controls are a little awkward and tiring at times when having big boss battles.

    This is a return to form for the Metroid Series. The exploration and weapon upgrades are all here along with a re-imagining of Metroid 2. Gameplay is stellar and the new improvements make this version the superior Metroid 2 experience.

    This game was a lot of fun after beating one time thru. Made me want to go back and play Super Metroid because it reminded me of that game too. A must buy on the physical cartridge over the digital download copy.
