This is my first time playing a Metroid game. In fact, I rarely play side-scrolling platformers. But this one is different. This game is full of action, challenging encounters, an innovative stealth section, puzzle-solving. In addition, I can't help to ignore the graphics and audio score of this game. The story itself is so good. I am really impressed and satisfied with how this game turned out. I'm glad I gave this game a try. My Nintendo game of the year 2021!

  

PS: I really thought Samus is a boy. ahhahaha
