@repeatro I fully agree, even though I feel like the 2D games have aged a bit better. Precision platforming in Metroid Prime is a pain and going through the same area multiple times can become a chore.
That is kinda true for the 2D Metroids as well, but IMO platforming in 2D is much easier than in 3D and requires less concentration. And most hard platforming areas in e.g. Super Metroid have an easy way around once you've cleared the area and gotten the next upgrade.
