What players say

No Spoiler Review: GAMEPLAY- it's serviceable and reminds me of old Game Boy games, however that doesn't excuse the fact that it could have many QoL improvements, with the map being one of them: Reminds me of the original Metroid and Metroid 2 where it was very easy to get lost and was punishing, but for the wrong reasons.
