Its a lot more linear. The various areas connect back to a hub. Other than that it’s Metroid. Picking up health and missiles is different. It’s the same but it’s different you’ll see
Julian Williams
Absolute kino
Leo Richardson
great atmosphere, really fun game with harder bosses than ZM, although a bit more linear with some unskippable dialogue
it and ZM are about equal in terms of overall quality

The kinoest metroidvania, it doesn't get better than this.
Cameron Wood
semi hijack but why the FUCK aren't there more Metroidvanias that are more Metroid than Castle? the Metroid games feel so much better to play because of the ranged weapons and quick movement
all I can think of is ESA, Axiom Verge and ESA 2

Dead Space but with Metroid

the narrative of this game blow my 11yo self away. Most linear metroid but you still have plenty of room to explore for items and secrets.
Joseph Peterson
Speaking of ESA2, has that come out yet, or is it still in development? I haven't really been keeping up with it at all.
Brandon Sullivan
he's still plugging away at it, for the last few days he's been streaming development of it on twitch

The last relevant Metroid game released, and the epilogue to the the Metroid Saga.

It's probably the most different of all the 2D Metroids. Very linear, bigger focus on story, it's got more of a horror tone than previous entries (I always felt the atmosphere was tense and dangerous but nothing that felt as dark or dangerous as being actively hunted like in Fusion). My biggest gripe is that near the end of the game they lock out all the previous areas you have visited, so make sure you look up in a guide when they lock the areas off if you want all the upgrades or want to backtrack.

9/10 on first play through, 3/10 on subsequent. Linearity and dialogue killed a lot of the replay value.
Ryder Gray
I really like how each area is connected to make backtracking at the tail end easier
Gotta agree with this, especially since there's not much sequence break potential (that I've seen anyways)
Nathan Wood
absolute shit
Eli Thomas
fusion was completely overshadowed on its own release date

Adding to this, it's not that it has dialogue at all. It's that it's unskippable and the text crawls extremely slowly.
Gabriel Mitchell
Fusion was 18 years ago??!!???
Elijah Kelly
a great fucking game
you're forgetting Zero Mission
or you're trying to shit on it, which would be dumb as fuck
Grayson Gonzalez
A very linear, but great, game.
Jason Barnes
Wow, older than me.
John Cruz
When you get the power back on (mash left-right when the spider catches you), go to the door on the bottom right to save your progress before going any further. You'll thank me.

Why the fuck is the fusion suit so ugly in prime bros?

There's an in game Easter egg for trying to sequence break. You get a secret conversation and an acknowledgement you weren't supposed to hear it.
Ryan Robinson
RUN
John Russell
Yeah, I actually got that on my first run of the game when I went and unlocked the red hatches on my own. Pretty nice touch, I saw there's also some secret conversation you can get after the Nightmare fight too but I've yet to figure out how to trigger it
Andrew Ortiz
What's great about it in your opinion?
