![]() The visuals have been radically spruced up since the original release 20 years ago, all while still maintaining the original art style. All of these details, and more, have been preserved faithfully in this remaster, and enhanced Your visor also reacts to the world around it, fogging up in steam, having rain droplets flow down it and if too close to an exploding critter, being splattered with alien viscera. Health and ammo counts are effectively suit functions, as well as danger sensors, a radar, and map. ![]() The HUD is full of elements that give the impression that your suit really is a tool, as well as a tangible object. There are vast amounts of elements that add a sense of immersion which had never been seen before in the Metroid franchise at the time. The level of detail the original had is also absurd. Even though the game shows its weaknesses in the modern day-especially now that we’ve had other titles develop the formula better-it’s not remotely close to a bad game. Rest assured, the devs had figured it out by their second game, though that was also nearly 20 years ago too. The less spoken about the Chozo Artifact hunt, the better, as it leads to a late-game fetch quest that is required to enter the final area. If it’s your first time through, do expect to hit a wall from time to time, requiring you backtrack rather clumsily to the next intended location, only to repeat those steps again to make it back to where you were just moments ago. It still follows the same progression with the same beats along the way. With this new remaster, nothing has been done to tamper with the overall game’s design, for better or worse. Metroid has been something of a trendsetter, with both its 2D and 3D outings having great influence on the industry.

Whilst there was concern, and even criticism, of the choice to make the game first person prior to its 2002 release, the general consensus is that it is an excellent game, even today. If you’ve been around the roost long enough, it’s extremely evident of the title’s many accolades. It’s up to Samus alone to put a stop to their plans, or else the galaxy will be in extreme danger. The Pirates have been harvesting a radioactive substance known as Phazon, which has unique properties when applied to various creatures in controlled doses.
