Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“More of a no, then a yes. The game as it is is just... too boring. Bare bones of the "metroid" gameplay. Controls are... okayish. Bosses are ununspiring copies of themselves, attacks are just the same. Ending is a "Congratulations" screen…”
