1001 Games - #276

Pros: haunting & isolated atmosphere, abundance of secrets to find, pinnacle of "Metroidvania" style games

Cons: platforming takes getting used to

Recommendation: I could gush on and on about this game, but you need only type "Super Metroid review" into Google to find out well regarded this game is.
