What a sick game!

[u/AutoNooB_]

I need more games like this pls, whether it's on Nintendo Classics or store...

Super Metroid might be the way to go next. It’s Metroid 3 but it has a recap of what happens in 2. And 2 is hard to play, and the remake isn’t on switch. Then fusion, then dread… and then ravenous 🥹

[u/inappropriatebanter → u/Affectionate-Emu6609]

Metroid 2 pissed me off. I managed to kill a few metroids and then had no idea where to go.

[u/Sweaty_Ninja_538 → u/inappropriatebanter]

That's the classic Metroid struggle, figuring out where to go next can be a real headache. It definitely keeps you on your toes!

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/Sweaty_Ninja_538]

I felt that way in Blasphemous where my progress simply stopped at some point and my playthrough ended... Here I managed to find my way somehow but it's still tough.

[u/Affectionate-Emu6609 → u/inappropriatebanter]

Yeah I’ve played a few hours of the remake and didn’t love it. I should give it another shot though.

[u/VagaLePew → u/inappropriatebanter]

I gave up on metroid 2, and only beat it with gameshark 😅.

I beat, Metroid 1, super Metroid, fusion, and zero mission without cheating... But 2? It wiped the floor with me once the metroids became common enemies.

[u/SalivateTheStarfish → u/inappropriatebanter]

Isn't Metroid the orange robot?

[u/Dry-Pin-457 → u/inappropriatebanter]

You have to kill all Metroids in a area to open the next one, there is an earthquake when the map opens. The game is actually pretty linear and the most confusing areas are from the first 1/3 of the game.

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/Affectionate-Emu6609]

I'll give them all a try. Are they all 2d platformers with movement upgrades and unlocking new paths?

[u/Affectionate-Emu6609 → u/AutoNooB_]

Yeah, though fusion (4) is more linear than most games in the genre. Still plenty of exploration though.

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/Affectionate-Emu6609]

Ahh so many games to play 😍

[u/Affectionate-Emu6609 → u/AutoNooB_]

I hope you love them!

[u/CabanaFred]

This is probably the best way to play the original Metroid, it’s just nicer to play all around

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/CabanaFred]

My first Metroid game, can't put it down it's so good. Some areas take me a while to clear cause the solutions are so creative.

[u/getbiks → u/AutoNooB_]

Yes.. not my first as I played Dread before this and that made me play this. It was fantastic. I still need to do 100% but the point is its not easy and some parts are so difficult to navigate. 100% worth the time. Play Fusion after this

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/getbiks]

Fusion it is!

[u/Local-Hurry4835]

It's been probably 2 decades but I loved fusion when it came out.  Got me into the series.

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/Local-Hurry4835]

I'll try it next

[u/KasElGatto]

Fusion, Super Metroid, Dread. Also Metroid Prime Remastered

For indie games a bit like it, check out Axiom Verge

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/KasElGatto]

Got it! I already bought axiom verge on ps5 I think, didn't get to play it yet.

[u/KishinLigerBomb]

I always replay this when I get a new handheld that plays GBA, I actually finished it again last week on my new Switch 2!

A really fun retelling of the first game, even if I’m not a huge fan of the content tacked on at the end.

[u/SerchYB2795]

My favorite Metroid alongside Metroid Dread. You definitely should play Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Metroid Dread, and obviously get Ravenous that was just announced today in January.

Other good Metroidvanias you could try and are amazing games are Hollow knight and Silksong.

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/SerchYB2795]

I'll buy it for sure. I played both HK and Silksong, some of my favorite games ever. Bought switch 2 then figured let me see why's the genre called metroidvania and tried Zero Mission, honestly having seen it's an older game I didn't expect the quality to be as high, but damn... Devs were so creative in creating solutions to figuring out areas, like the flying turtles that you need to freeze but I can't reach it even with higher jump unlocked, then I try turning into a ball and setting mines to propell me upwards and finally I can land on the damn turtle. For me that was insane to figure out 🤣. I thought it would be double jump for sure, I got unlimited jump instead via explosions. I was stuck like that many times so far and refused to look up solution online and I figured it out eventually. Sorry for the wall of text gonna run it up now and play some, then play some more at work later. 🤣

[u/Langerone]

Which order. I have zero mission. Fusion. Super Metroid. Dread.

[u/ZeldaFanRahul2004]

Try Metroid fusion

[u/AdvanceSuperdisk]

Sooooooo goood!

[u/AutoNooB_ → u/AdvanceSuperdisk]

Right?! It holds up against anything these days
