Metroid Fusion in my opinion was the king of Metroidvanias for a really long time. It achieved perfection.

I think there's a number of people upset it doesn't have any sequence breaks, is super linear, and much of the exploration is of the "guess and check" variety. https://youtu.be/FsZ9Bb4IW5s?t=1315

> doesn't have any sequence breaks

I would never hate on a game for this.

> super linear

point taken, but speedrunners would say otherwise.

> much of the exploration is of the "guess and check" variety.

I finished the game as a 10 year old so I think it wasn't too easy or too hard.

To each his own !

I think "achieved perfection" was the bar you set =) And Super Metroid set the bar quite high.
