Samus Returns improvements over Metroid 2 are exclusively stuff it has no business not doing better. Otherwise it’s pretty lackluster.

Aight lets long post Zero Mission.
It's still pretty good, and it being more open was much needed after how Fusion went. However, bit fat however, while the game is an enjoyable for speedruns, and replays, I got some caveats. 1/10

Opinion: Metroid Fusion is a mediocre game that has done lasting damage to the Metroid series as a whole.
