3.5/5 ★ – Artagah's review of Super Metroid.

Beat Super Metroid for the first time and really liked it! The immersive atmosphere comprised of an awesome soundscape and gorgeous, for it's time, graphics really impressed me. So did the majority of the level design and the power ups. For some reason the grapple beam impressed a bunch; feels like it would have been rough to implement the momentum based mechanic as well as the sprite rotation when swinging on the SNES. The reason for a lower score is almost entirely due to the game feel. I can live with a floaty jump and I got used to the aiming controls for all the directions, but holy moly the wall jump made me want to pull my hair out! That's a whole star off for that. The other half is due to some backtracking and a few moments where the way forward was far from clear. Overall, an awesome experience that's just right in length!
