Did not finish. Liked the graphics and mechanics and would like to see them in a brand-new game but HATED the boss difficulty spike vs. the original. Especially hated the mining robot and ultimately gave up after learning what needed to be done to defeat it the 2nd time.

Up to the (final?) boss fight. This might take a while to hone my skills to beat but it's great to be nearing completion.

I'm dying quite a lot in this game. Specially with Metroids.
Awesome!

Finally, beat the Diggernaut. Now that, was one of the hardest boss fights I've ever encountered in a game.

I never realised how satisfying it was to go back to previous areas upon receiving a new upgrade. This game is incredible.

Metroid: Samus Returns has been keeping me up the last few nights. Any suggestions of past 2D Metroid games I should try when I'm finished with it?

What I find myself saying a lot while playing: Where do I go now?

Studies getting to me, stressed out and the GF rocks up with a copy of this bad boy. Absolute killer.

This game has grapple-beamed my brain since I started playing it earlier this week. Might be my new favorite Metroid. Nintendo really hit it out of the park with their NES-era franchises this year.
