Anyway, apart from that unfortunate business, still going marvellously. I beat the 3rd and 4th bosses, both tough but I only died a couple of times on each before claiming victory.

The story sequence with

Spoiler!

Quiet Robe was pretty cool and I like the idea that Raven Beak is after your DNA as that's the last place the Metroid's DNA remains. I also really liked that they had Samus talk, but only a single, badass line in an alien language.

Clever way to completely sidestep and counteract the Other M problem.

I swear like every other game in the world moved on to auto-grapple with a single button in the 7th gen if not the 6th. Literally, just ZR is all they needed. One of the dumbest design choices I've seen in a game in years.

Auto-grapple with ZR would have been fine for grapple points (which are rare) but you often grapple unto the spider magnet sections and for those it's really nice to be able to aim at which part of it you wanna grapple.

You could easily have had both though; when aiming, hit ZR to grapple to a specific spot, but if you're not aiming, default to an autograb. Simple fix.
