Samus in her suit, a dead planet riddled with secrets, and first person exploration of a world fallen to ruin.

On gut feeling, the community is split, dead center. The detail highlights the wish to rediscover it and fun, both above average, carried by its immersive exploration and sense of mystery. Controller feel follows, decent. On the other hand, attachment, the desert island pick, and especially art style fall low. As often with classics of this generation, its 2002 GameCube trappings weigh against today's standards, where its exploration structure, for its part, remains exemplary.

Next to other adventure games, it pulled off the wild bet of transposing Metroid into three dimensions and first person, without losing any of its DNA.

So, who is it for? For you if you like solitary exploration, immersion, and the feeling of cracking open a secret filled world. Much less if the title's age or its contemplative pace holds you back.
