This has turned bad on me, like fruit left in the desert sun. The levels are just so badly designed. So many serial corridors and limited paths between areas. Even within the same level, like Volt Forge, you have 3 vertical areas only connected by a single path. It really boggles the mind what they were thinking.
I expect backtracking …

I expect backtracking in a Metroid game but what I realized is the movement is so dull and uninspired it makes it even more tedious. Modern metroidvania games like Ori and Hollow Knight make that a bit more interesting through movement abilities that are at least fun to keep doing as you trek around. Metroid has no good ones. The bike is new and somewhat interesting but you mainly drive it in the boring open space of the desert.
Big letdown overall. I knew this was coming from the reviews but still...
