4/5 ★ – TheHBJK's review of Metroid: Zero Mission.

Great remake of the aged ass first game… While I really wanted to get into the Metroid franchise for years, playing the original NES Metroid put me off, it felt really ugly and slow in a way that I just wasn’t a fan of unfortunately. So imagine my surprise when I eventually played Metroid Prime, loved it, and then played Dread and it became a contender for my favourite game ever…naturally, I could’ve leave the first game in the dust any longer, so I decided to start Zero Mission. This is pretty much just the first game with amazing quality of life changes that make the original game fantastic, along with lengthening the game by a good hour and giving us the coolest sections of the entire game. This is a great start to the franchise and I can’t wait to try Super and Fusion out in the future in preparation for Prime 4.
