I know this is far from a hot take but this game is so fucking good.

I loved Super Metroid and any game that reminds me of it, but this seriously feels like Super Metroid plus an extra two decades worth of game design and technological progress.

    Yeah, I haven't played a souls game but Hollow Knight definitely gets an A+ for ambience

      You might try one out. Souls games really remind me a lot of Metroid, in terms of ambiance and just general feel. Something about exploring desolate environments, full of monsters, all alone (almost no friendly NPCs), with a level design that's always looping back on in itself, and a story setting that's kind of vague and delivered thru sporadic bits of text (like Metroid Prime). The actual gameplay (ie, the combat) isn't really like Metroid but I think there's a lot of similarities

      I remember the first time I rode an elevator in DS and found myself back in the area I was in before and i was like "Ohhh... this feels exactly like Metroid"
