Metroid: Samus Returns review

Exceptional

by Danny Telecaster

The game could be paced a bit better, but it's still a very worthwhile entry

A great remake but it is still Metroid 2 which is known to be the worst in the 2D series. The game introduces 360 degree aiming at last and a neat counter attack. Bosses can be annoying at times and the spider ball sucks. Otherwise its a good game though.

Fantastic. Finally another Metroid game. The melee counter makes for a nice addition to gameplay

7/10

+ New metroid game finally!
+ Sense of progression
+ Exciting exploration
+ Impressive visuals and performance on 3DS

- Would have preferred new story
- Melee counter overpowered
- Aeion abilities implimentation
- Controls (floaty jump)
