Just finished Flare Pool. The finale was absolutely epic: from working together with Armstrong and Duke to the boss to the self destruct sequence. So much fun ^^

The only thing that got into my nerves was the abrubt ending. Like... After leaving the Federation Soldiers I thought we would have an over the top escape sequence to get out of Flare Pool. But nope: cut to black and Samus is exiting the area riding VIOLA like if she was just leaving her own house. Super anticlimatic...

We're at the exact same point; I just finished Flare Pool as well.

And yeah, the boss was epic as hell, one thing the game really nails is making the bosses feel like a spectacle.

While cheesy, Nora being starstruck by meeting Samus was kinda cute. Seeing realistic character faces in a Nintendo game isn't something you see a lot either; this being a 60fps Switch 1 game they're not cutting edge, but still set a new standard for Nintendo.

Even at 60fps, the visuals are leagues better than any of the dozen Pokemon games released on Switch/Switch 2.

Those curated and baked details actually hold up well in many areas... This is where taking your time and building your game for the hardware, rather than just rushing in for a cash-grab has paid dividend's.
