From the moment they showed the Open World section and later the companions, I had already imagined it was going to be lower 80s
Not that those can’t be done right, but in a Metroid game in particular, they would have had to have done them practically perfectly in order for it to not feel somewhat out of place, which is not out of the realm of possibility for Nintendo, but it was certainly more against the vibe of Metroid than with other of their franchises.
At least it seems the NPC companions aren’t as bad as some previews were saying, its mostly the really meh open world hub segment that seems to be the main point of contention
