I’m not enjoying a lot this weekend. For starters, I’ve to conduct stock Saturday and Sunday at my job. On high of that, I’m a supervisor so it’s going to be an extended and worrying couple of days/nights. Moreover, there aren’t any video games actually holding my consideration. Earlier this week, nevertheless, I acquired the platinum trophy for Tomb Raider Legend. It was a reasonably strong recreation, with intelligent puzzles to amass the gold rewards. I’m glad I lastly acquired to play it.
As for what I’m attempting to earnestly play proper now, it’s Metroid Zero Mission — the remake of the primary recreation within the sequence. The newest Nintendo Direct had me fairly excited for the console, with Metroid Prime 4, regardless of being seven-years-old, so I made a decision to activate my Change for the primary time in over six months.
I really by no means completed this recreation as a child on the GBA, so it’s mainly a brand new expertise for me. It’s fairly chic. I’ve overwhelmed Kraid, acquired the Ice Beam, a capability to hold from ledges, and an “unknown” merchandise as a result of it isn’t appropriate with my present go well with.
I like this about Metroid video games — the sense of discovery. You might be by no means actually misplaced. Ever. There could also be cases the place you’re feeling completely misplaced, however in the event you pay shut sufficient consideration to your environment the reply will open up. There’s a sure stage of interactivity that requires you to make use of each device at your disposal, together with utilizing all the map as your playground. You don’t see this typically with trendy video games. And it’s so satisfying to listen to the music that follows after getting a brand new merchandise, just like the jingle that performs when opening up a chest in The Legend of Zelda. Generally, Nintendo simply does it finest.
