the thing that i love about metroid games is being able to get new weapons and upgrades to be able to explore more of the world. it's a satisfying system of progression that always keeps things interesting, and makes backtracking in metroid games really isn't all that bad. while you're going from point a to b, there's a whole lot of things to do in between with your newfound abilities and weapons that makes things interesting. you find secret rooms, or rooms you couldn't go through before, and can now access. in the process, you find secret weapons or extra power-ups which you can use to further explore. it's wonderful lol i love that stuff
to me, the metroid series has always been all about the exploration. you want to explore in order to obtain more weapons, more powerups, so you can explore more of the world. thats always been the charm of metroid
