Anyone remember the part when Metroid Prime suddenly turns into an almost Halo like shooter? Probably not long after you beat the temple you are suddenly attacked by those shooting Space Pirates. Quite unexpected change in pace.
It's cool also because of all the lore it feeds you.
@Weirdaholic That I easily understand. When you find a new gadget the game usually nods you in the direction of where you will make some progress. But the frustration is real when you accomplished something and there is absolutely zero clue where to go next.
I consciously made the effort to get back in (even though I felt a bit overwhelmed) because it's clear, if you don't you never will.
@BonfireAtNight yeah, this is one of the quirks of metriodvanias, in which you are supposed to remember locked pathways in order to check them out with new abilities. For me back then, though, the fights just got too intense at a certain point. Especially some darker sections with invisible enemies threw me off. It was quite some time ago.
