    The pacing rarely drags, though I get why some miss the freedom of the original.

    Pas d'accord, mais respectueux.

    Tight design, clear goals, never wastes your time (unpopular opinion maybe but I prefer it to the open sprawl of other entries).

    Moi je me souviens surtout de la tension, jamais du confort.

    Bueno, sé que no soy objetiva porque este juego me marcó bastante, así que reconozco que la linealidad puede cansar a algunos, aunque a mí me pareció una forma distinta de contar la historia.

    J'ai l'impression, mais je peux me tromper, qu'on lui reproche justement ce qui fait sa force, cette précision dans la progression qui laisse peu de place au flottement. Après je l'ai surtout joué en connaissant déjà la licence, donc mon avis est peut-être biaisé par ça. Vous en pensez quoi, ceux qui l'ont découvert sans repère avant ?

    Comparado con Super Metroid, que te suelta en un mundo abierto desde el principio, este te lleva de la mano, y a mí me funcionó igual de bien en su momento.

    Did the SA-X ever stop scaring you, or did it get worse the more you played?

    CosmoHunter49

    The dread of that SA-X chase stuck with me, that specific dread never really left, honestly.
