Super Metroid Eris 2012 is one of those SNES games that just sticks with you. The moment you drop into that eerie, alien world, the atmosphere hits you—the distant hum of machinery, the flickering lights, the sense that something’s watching you. It’s not just about blasting enemies (though that part’s satisfying); it’s about getting lost in this massive, interconnected map, finding upgrades that make you go, "Oh, that’s how I get past that room from an hour ago."

The controls are tight, the music’s haunting, and the boss fights? Brutal, but in that good way where you actually feel yourself improving. I remember getting stuck on Ridley for ages before realizing I’d missed a hidden energy tank. Classic Metroid. If you’ve never played it, you’re in for a ride—just don’t be surprised when you start mapping out secret paths in your head.
