Metroid II: Return of Samus (Game Boy - Nintendo - 1991 - USA)

I have never really been a huge fan of Samus’s adventures so far. The first time I really enjoyed a Metroid title was with Zero Mission, the remake of the NES episode on GBA. Metroid II is often seen as the black sheep of the serie (maybe with Other M now) and I can see why: the overall game is not very user-friendly. Samus’s sprite is too big and you can easily be lost in the mazes. The premise is also quite repetitive, as you only hunt Metroids the whole game. And even if their form changes from time to time, it can feels tiresome. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Metroid II is a bad game by any means. It’s just not a game for me.
