It's pretty sad to see that people immediately say a game has less value just because it's 2D and that doesn't justify the price. Yeah it doesn't justify it for YOU. YOU don't like 2D games so no duh, but don't state it has less value like it's a fact because it's not. While you may get bored after beating the game the first time, there's thousands of fans who will replay the game over and over again with enjoyment each and every time. And I wish people would stop saying it needs to live up to modern metroidvanias, this is Metroid, it STARTED metroidvanias. Don't limit the game to the experience of modern games that tried to copy it, it can be whatever the hell the devs want it to be. Just because you think Hollow Knight is the best metroidvania doesn't mean Metroid games need to live up to that standard the hell? That's like telling a singer "Hey I get that you started this genre but I like what modern singers have turned it into so you're not relevant anymore unless you do it their way".
These negative opinions are nothing more than an asinine case of "That type of game doesn't interest me so it's bad". Just because you enjoy Open World Platformers like Mario 3D World doesn't mean a 2D platformer like Sonic Mania sucks. Just because you like Open World Shooters like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, etc doesn't mean 2D Shooters like Metroid suck and have less value. Just because you like modern game's take on metroidvanias doesn't mean Metroid is irrelevant unless it mimics modern metroidvania style.
