Metroid Fusion (2002)
Bounty hunter Samus Aran explores the surface of the planet SR388 with a survey crew from Biologic Space Laboratories (BSL). There, she is attacked by parasitic organisms known as "X". Samus is unknowingly infected by the parasite, and proceeds to return to the BSL station, when she suddenly loses consciousness and is ejected from her ship before it crashes into a nearby asteroid belt.

overall i really loved the core gameplay/controls, and the more directed sense of gameplay progression/flow feels more up my alley than Super Metroids greater emphasis on non-linearity, which tbh has never really appealed to me much. some of the boss designs and level obfuscations are frustrating until you figure out what to do (the latter usually involving spamming bombs everywhere randomly until a new passage opens up), but i had fun with this one mostly.

This game is unlike the rest of the 2D Metroids. For better or for worse, this game is very linear and heavily story driven. There are lots of new bosses and we get a nice new change of scenery instead of being on Zebes again. The X-Parasites are very terrifying and from an 8-Bit 2D platform there aren't that many games that can invoke this much fear and dread without being a horror game.

A decent entry, if a clearly portable one. It certainly has the polish you'd hope for, though the way things are set up can make you feel like you're being briskly railroaded along from one discreet little section to the next (you do need to take the time to scour along the sides of every path if you hope to have enough health capacity for the late game, though).

A more story-driven take on Metroid. While the game cops a lot of flak for being more linear than most other Metroid games, it still delivers on the core gameplay, atmosphere and exploration, and the SA-X was legitimately terrifying.

Kind of a strange Metroid game; though TECHNICALLY one open world the segmented sections of the ship make it feel much more divided into "levels" than any 2D Metroid game before or since. The real highlights in terms of gameplay and mood and horror are the SA-X appearances, which I actually wish there was way more of. Really got my heartrate racing.

changes a lot of the Metroid formula in a way that doesn't really work. some of those changes are understandable; as a portable game, breaking it down into what are essentially 10-15 minutes chunks made sense. hell, as a kid I played it during recess. but it hampers replay value, which is one of the best aspects of the Metroid series. the aesthetics are great, though, and the SA-X might be the best antagonist in the series. I'd love a true sequel.
