The game is really awesome, and I have very few complaints. The combat is slick, Samus moves very fluid, E.M.M.I. sections are appropriately thrilling, a ton of enemy variety and bosses are very well done. I also like how great this game guides you into the appropriate direction without locking you away from anything else or outright saying you need to go a certain direction (minus one or two exceptions). I always found my way to my destination without having to endlessly backtrack thinking I missed something, but I never felt the game was holding my hand or telling me I couldn't explore. Oh, and I absolutely LOVE how they handled the Shinespark puzzles. They were appropriately hard, and one of them seemed downright impossible, but finishing one gave you the biggest sense of accomplishment, IMO.

My only complaints would really be that back tracking isn't fun due to the load times between areas, the teleportation system really isn't that great, the chozo warrior parts start getting a little tedious, and the E.M.M.I. AI felt a little cheap (it's really ALWAYS in the same location you're choosing and goes the one path you were going??? Really?). I honestly think some jump scares for E.M.M.I. would have bean great, but I honestly enjoyed the E.M.M.I. pieces overall. Definitely kept my heart racing and gave me that sense of "dread" when I had to walk into one of those areas.
