   It kinda ruined parts of Metroid 2 and it's definitely one of the weaker 2D troids, but it has solid moment to moment gameplay and Samus "feels" great to control.

   The much derided linearity is merely a reappearance of the linearity of Metroid 2, with it's coincidental earthquakes when you killed troids

   the metroid fights, meanwhile, their counter tells are SO LONG i always miss them by hitting the button early. like, it can't possibly be that long. except it is. i have no success trying to do it on reaction either.. also, the troids spend too long being invuln for w/e reason
