Well said. I agree with all those points--they both offer a unique and fun experience. It was the same for me. I spent a childhood uncovering secrets in SM and it felt meaningful. In Fusion it's like a chore as you collect more and more useless power bomb expansions at the very last leg of the game.

Thanks, it was interesting going through a game I love with fresh eyes. Some of Fusions flaws are really glaring to me now.

In other news, played a few hours of Dread. So far Dread has been good if a bit easy. Very forgiving checkpoints are nice, controls are tight, powerups feel good. Its very cinematic. It feels like the dev team really nailed down a way to both give the player agency but also still work in cutscenes to showcase how they want Samus to act/fight (and she's 100% badass). They even struck a good balance between the "you're alone on a hostile world with only your wits and an arm cannon to aid you" vibe from Super Metroid with the "Everything has gone to hell but if you listen to your Commanding Officer you just might live" vibe from Fusion. The Navigation rooms are back for narration purposes but gone is the railroading, only allowing you to go where the plot demands you go. So far I'm really impressed
