Bosses are tedious, levels are boring, and gunplay never lives up to its full potential. While rusty, the bones are there for an excellent first-person shooter set in the Metroid universe. An avid-lover of all things Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, and The Legend of Zelda, Renan spends most of his time passionately raving about Dragon Ball and thinking about how to apply Marxist theory to whatever video game he's currently playing.

Not only are the Metroid spin-offs hard to play these days due to them not being re-released in any capacity, but they also tend to be looked down upon by the Metroid fanbase. Still, going through these games could prove beneficial to understanding all of the lore of the Metroid series. Completing these four games should take players about 30 hours, give or take.
To finish off every single Metroid game before Metroid Dread launches , players are looking at spending at least hours, and that's not counting completionist runs.
Luckily, Metroid Dread comes out in about 4 months from now, giving gamers a good chunk of time to get the ultimate task done.
To save some time with these playthroughs, it might be worth skipping out on some of the more disappointing entries in the series, such as Metroid Prime: Federation Force and the titles that have little to do with the main storyline Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime Pinball.
Unfortunately, the latter two are also hard to play these days, as they were not re-released for any modern systems, like the 3DS or the Switch. For players that want to save even more time and just play the essentials, going through the 2D games is recommended, especially Metroid Fusion. In may respects, Zero Mission is the strongest, smartest, and sharpest of all the Metroid games.
All it really has working against it is a lack of originality. As a remake of the original Metroid , Zero Mission covers a lot of the same ground that Super Metroid had already cased out so expertly a decade before.
Zero Mission gives Samus a fully updated arsenal, including Power Bombs and a ledge grip skill. Familiar scenery takes on a new flavor when reworked to include complex navigation puzzles. One of the high-water marks of the bit era, Super Metroid introduced players to a near-perfect synthesis of game mechanics, world design, and embedded narrative. Loosely built on the bones of the original Metroid , Super Metroid sent players back to the tunnels and tubes of planet Zebes.
This return trip was no mere rehash, however. Unexpected secrets abound, ranging from clever shortcuts the developers hid in plain sight to oblique alternate mechanisms to defeat bosses.
Meanwhile, the primary throughline of the quest tells a surprisingly moving story that follows immediately on the heels of Metroid II and unfolds entirely in pantomime.
