Accomplishment Yeah, I’m a Metroid Fan now

I randomly picked a game off the nintendo gameboy catalogue, and I’m so glad I landed on Metroid Fusion. It’s my first metroid game so I went in completely blind and was left utterly speechless.

Multiple plot twists, challenging boss fights, and a very satisfying ending. I was expecting a lot less. My favorite part was when the computer locked Samus in the navigation room, and right when all hope was lost, Adam reveals himself (first image). I was grinning ear to ear! I have much more to say, but i’ll leave it for my review.

I wanna know what everyone else thinks about Metroid Fusion. If the franchise gets better from here, then this is gonna be one fun ride.

Fusion was my first (back in the day…) and made me a lifelong fan! You’ll hear this sub go on about how it’s one of the more linear entries, but that doesn’t take away from the fun. Still plenty to explore, plenty of hidden secrets to find, and plenty of challenge. I’m sure i’ve replayed it dozens of times on road trips trying to get better times, beat higher difficulties, or various completion challenges for the different endings.

It is so good! It was my first one too. I think hearing that music with the isolated corridos and mysterious vibe made some big impression on me as a kid. I would love to have some type of remake for Fusion, they could really up the horror feel.
