At first I found the game to be beyond frustrating. I did not play this game growing up, so I don’t have any nostalgia for it. But the basics: exploration based gameplay, character progression through powerups, and sidescrolling controls all start here. Metroid feels like the “grandmother” of the metroidvania genre because Super Metroid seems to have the stronger influence. The natural starting point for this is the original Metroid. I decided that I’d like to revisit my metroidvania journey from the beginning, and play through each game much more extensively. In the beginning it was pretty scattershot, just playing whatever random game seemed interesting, and never finishing them. I played a bunch of metroidvania games to try and get a feel for this style of game. Late last year I began working on a metroidvania style game with a friend.
