Hey look, a Metroid: Other M review on Kotaku! Let’s see what they have to say:
How can anyone dislike Samus Aran, who enters Metroid: Other M with the advantages of having a cool, iconic set of armor, a great rogues gallery of monsters aliens who sneak their way into most of her games and, of course, the can’t-miss great ability to roll around as a bomb-dropping ball?
[…]
Some of Samus’ fellow human characters look simplistic, but aliens monsters — beasts that have no uncanny valley to span — look terrific
[…]
I had mistaken Nintendo’s long-standing disinterest in making story-heavy, cutscene-loaded games with a tacit dismissal of the kinds of stories those types of games tell.
Stephen Totilo is not only a superlative writer, but a cautionary tale of the horrors of being too fucking lazy to proofread any old shit you churn out.
