Figured out an early Screw Attack route that's slower but way less execution heavy, excited to try it out on my first Hard run.

Up to the water world and I feel literally gobsmacked with how incredible the scenery is. The dim music, the new creatures, the complete aesthetic is just so awesome and beautiful. So glad this game is a real thing.

The things that were bothering me about this game still bother me after another long sitting today, however I will say that at some times it really just nails the satisfying parts of the Metroid formula. There are a couple of sequences I played today, involving two iconic power-ups of past games, that introduced those powers and then looped back to previous areas in such a smooth way that you can't help but be impressed. And a couple areas I reached like one where
I only have a few very small new complaints. Some of these power-ups like the

Finished my second Normal run, just picking up the items on the immediate critical path, and wound up with 32% in 3:02.40. Skipping the Spin Boost was really stressful and I don't recommend it!

My experience with the first couple hours here is not feeling incredibly hot.

Read moreMy experience with the first couple hours here is not feeling incredibly hot. After a text dump opening with bland orchestral music, I was greeted with the game’s unappealingly synthetic visual design, cheap-looking UI, and instant death enemies making exploration and progression a big hassle at times. Most of the story and tutorial is delivered in random dumps through an AI character that is both annoying-sounding and completely devoid of personality. 3D aiming is cumbersome and I find myself wondering why you can’t just aim with the right stick (or move with the D-pad for that matter). All this is to say that despite having a bit of fun so far, I’m not yet feeling immersed in a way that lets me look past these issues. Totally open and optimistic to the possibility that that will change soon, because the way the game is playing out is otherwise fine.

Trying to learn these newfangled Pseudo Wave Beam sequence breaks, they're super tough!

You thought Kotaku handling the topic of emulation was bad? Take a look at Gamepur.
THEY DIRECTLY LINKED TO AN .NSP! HOW ARE THEY NOT BEING CALLED OUT ON A LARGE SCALE LIKE THIS? THE WRITER IS ADVOCATING PIRACY ON A BRAND NEW GAME!

3rd playthrough is down. I was 8 minutes too late to get all of the pictures, but there's always next time.

3rd playthrough is down. I was 8 minutes too late to get all of the pictures, but there's always next time. I have never wanted to keep replaying a game to learn routes and skips this much since DOOM Eternal, one of the contenders for my literal favorite video game ever. I cannot get my hands off this game for hours at the middle of the night.

Beat the game with 100% items, it's super good!
But now I'm really excited to plan out a faster any% route for my second playthrough. The map being so much more detailed makes charting a perfect line feel achievable without having the entire game memorized backwards and forwards, and even on my first run through I found 4 or 5 …

But now I'm really excited to plan out a faster any% route for my second playthrough. The map being so much more detailed makes charting a perfect line feel achievable without having the entire game memorized backwards and forwards, and even on my first run through I found 4 or 5 intentional sequence breaks, so I'm sure there's a ton of time I can shave off my initial 12 hour run.

Was banging my head against a puzzle and finally realized it was teaching me a rad new movement trick for Samus, and now the way I think about every room in the game has changed! Echoes of learning to walljump for the first time in Super and being totally awestruck.

In general this game is really good at suggesting the possibilities inherent in Samus's moveset and nudging you towards figuring out the execution yourself, it's impressive.
