I sat there, writing my review, staring at the keys. How would I voice myself? Voice... something established when we grow. When we develop language, to communicate, to transmit our thoughts between one another. That was something that The Baby never had. Yet it still communicated to me. A voiceless bond. A silent cry. That is the gift that is left to me. I was a hunter, solitary and alone. Even with companions, I was alone. This is the situation I found myself in now. Among soldiers, among those who I'd fought with... but alone. That is my silent voice calling out.

Like, even taking the character portrayal and delivery aside, it's got a script so redundant it'd make Persona blush it's so redundant, combined with utterly glacial pacing in the actual storytelling. There are ideas here that aren't terrible and add a bit to the Metroid world and lore, but its presentation absolutely kneecaps it at every single opportunity. It's pretty fun to make fun of, but it's a great example on how to avoid telling a story beyond anything else.
