| TLOZ: Skyward Sword / Thought it would be better Metroid Other M / Thought it would be better |
With Skyward I really liked the motion controls and some of the dungeons are cool, but everything else... the story was underwhelming, characters (aside from Impa and Groose) were forgettable, music wasn't really memorable, visually is fine, much better than Twilight Princess at least, the backtracking is horrible, the Imprisoned may be the worst boss I have ever faced in my life (doesn't help that I have to fight it 6 times if I want the Hylian Shield), the Sky and exploration was boring as the game tells you where everything is and Fi is annoying, the other bosses weren't much better, the items were underplayed in combat for the benefit of the swordplay and I'm not a fan of that I like being able to kill enemies in different ways. Worst 3D Zelda for me (Is not a bad game, it's good but it's the worst of the 3D games for me).
Now Other M, I think I don't have to add anything about why the story and characters are so terrible, so the positives: visuals... that it's. The combat is a mindless button masher with no strategy whatsoever, music is abysmal aside from the great remix of the Ridley theme, this soundtrack is an insult to Metroid, exploration is pretty limited and the authrorization system is dumb (specially in the Pyrosphere), the bosses are mediocre (with the exception of Ridley) and the whole game for me is really boring, part of why I love Metroid is that I can pick up any game in the series and beat it again and again, Other M I barely could start a second playthrough. (Worst Metroid game period, Pinball had way more atmosphere and Metroid like quality to it).
