41. Super Metroid (NR)
Just recently getting to play this game I was reminded of Metroid Fusion by the 2D style and weaponry. This game is less linear and focuses more on exploration to figure out how you can move forward with the items you have. Each of the different environments poses its own types of obstacles that make playing through the areas significantly different. There are so many extra items to hunt down and finding all of the secrets is a blast. The main downside was that while the bosses were good, they expressed less originality than what I had hoped. The story was good enough to evoke some emotion at the end as well, which I feel like more games could do.
Primarily an RPG player but have interest in any game that will make me think.
