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.

why must i be the single wrongest person in the world for having a brain so broken that i don't like this game :agony-mescaline:
if you want to put me against the wall then at least hear my final words: the fact that you have to buy map things was a total mood killer and i ragequitted as soon as i saw it
It costs almost nothing though?
if im not wrong i think it costs several hundred to buy the whole shop which you probably already have before getting a first proper upgrade without ever farming for it, but just the fact they bothered to pad out the first 30 minutes feels like a handsculpted statue of a middle finger thrown at my location from the devs' house
my brain tells me to interpret it this way, all questions (and bullets) are for it, not me
I never bothered to use any of the map things or the charm that lets you see your location. It was a personal choice, but it made me really learn the map and focus on exploration, progressing at my own pace, which made for a pretty rich playthrough in my experience.
But they're not even progression gates, if you want to you can get by with just the quill that lets you update the map and it's barely less convenient
I was getting very irritated with the game early on because I hadn't found a map yet, and it did piss me off that you had to buy it, but the game truly is amazing if you just stick with it. The map issue becomes trivial with enough experience
