Most creative game

Metroid Other M

it's what happens when you let creativity overtake every other aspect of a game's creation

I really enjoyed that game despite its flaws. Gameplay was solid. I prefer third person Metroid games to the first person ones. Even if the first Metroid Prime was near flawless.

Other M had some really bad game design, and the story wasn't really good. But I think they could revisit the foundations of that game, mix in more aspects of Super Metroid in it... Make the game less story driven and more exploration based... And last but not least, let Samus be ALONE on the planets she explore. I'm tired of seeing all the military goons get in the way of the atmosphere. Let the environments tell the story. No need for lenghty cut-scenes.

I used to hate on Other M for the usual memes of Adam authorisation and The Baby.

But having watched the game in motion played by the Prime speedrun world recordholder, it's also a terrible, bland and repetitive game. No room or tunnel felt like it meant anything or existed in a meaningful world. There was zero choices in gameplay (it even made you save). Concentration meant resources were pointless.
