Super Metroid, the third installation in Samus’s story, is widely held to be the best entry in the series and in all honesty, I can’t disagree. The game is basically perfect. It’s beautiful, exciting, fun, dynamic, accessible and interesting. It checks every box you could possibly want checked. Forget being the greatest action-platformer of all time; this is one of the greatest games ever made, and if I were in charge of the rankings this’d be much higher.
