No game released in 2020 pays as much attention to detail as this game does that was released early 2000's. Something that was never seen as possible (aka Metroid transitioning from 2D to 3D) was accomplished and went above and beyond. The game has aged like fine wine. If you havent played this game or the trilogy, you need to stop scrolling on Metacritic and just buy it and see for yourself. It has stood the test of time. It really should be number one but I'll let you be the judge of that.

If you were fans of the previous two games, I find no reason to complain about this game. It is exponentially better than the first 2 games. My favorite aspect was the story line, yet I mainly play games for story lines (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Arkham series, and Dungeon Siege to name a *few.*) so this game definitely fits the criteria. Everything else (game play, locations, characters, combat, enemies, soundtrack, etc.) was either average or above average, not great but not terrible. If you appreciate games for the same reason I do, I highly recommend this game. If you play games for the visual and audio quality, game play and lots of intense action, it's either gonna be hit or miss. Hope this helped.
