Today i did my first run of Super Metroid

And I'm incredibly fucking pissed about it right now! I come from Zero mission and AM2R, but even considering how those games originally looked Super is pretty fucking flawed.

The map. Who the hell though that jus boxes were enough? In SUCH a giant game? I had to mark all places that required upgrades to get to myself. And even then my rate of completion was fucking 52. I backtracked EVERYWHERE.

Both power bomb and gravity suit are incredibly hard to miss. Why such an important items aren't guarded by bosses or something?

Marida. This is. The worst. I ever was lost in a game. And i played fucking Dark Souls and have fallen into Deepnest in Hollow Knight.

The noob bridge and the noob tube. Gamedesign? Consistency? Nooope, not here.

Fucking seahorse that hugs you while swimming around the room for a hour and then fucks Samus with it's tail. Great boss design right here.

Ripley and everyone after. At least previous bosses that had no attack patern provided pick ups in case you didn't x-rayed every rock on the map. Had to cheat for this bastard. Fucking motherbrain intentionally drains your missiles in the first phase! And ice-wave beam does incredibly shitty damage to those two.

But i don't want to leave on a bad note. I mean, Dark Souls 1 is a masterpiece too and it has noob bridge too. And giant's tomb is a labyrinth too. I can totally see why Super is considered masterpiece and is a classic. All those storytelling shenanigans were incredible, and the world was huge, and all the improvements from the past games...

Though don't see how it's leveldesign is praised at all.

Phew... Now i need some reabilitation. Fusion therapy would suffice, i guess?
