I don't think Super Metroid and A Link to the Past are outright crap, but I do think they're so-so at best. I'm the guy who hated Super Metroid 🤷♂️

Wait, go easy, it sounds like he's softening his opinion. We're convincing him!

I wrote a review of Super Metroid on this board when I played it where I gave it something like 6/10. That's not hate. If Ex wants to quote anything to represent my opinion, that'd probably be a better source than some offhand comment that was probably either hyperbole or a joke.

Did you ever try Fusion? Of the 2D installments it's the most story heavy... maybe you'd actually like that one the most.
Definitely my least favorite for my tastes. I don't like how 75% of that one is mechanical environments too. I like the more organic overgrowth/mesh of lush jungle and tech that the other games do well.

Whether you hate or mildly dislike Super Metroid is to your discretion. I've certainly ragged on a few games you've praised in the past. But we do find common ground from time to time, such as with Tougi-Ou: King Colossus.

Because I'm curious about the Saturn's RPG library, I grabbed all of them, so I'll be sampling them quite a bit. Last night, I booted up Legend of Heroes I & II, and... how is this worse than the PC Engine version? The movement is so choppy! It's like it was still on the PC-88. I mean, come on.

Blade of Darkness is now on GOG. This 2001 game was originally called Severance: Blade of Darkness, I'm not sure why the name changed. www.gog.com/game/blade_of_darknessA lot of people say that this was " Dark Souls before Dark Souls". I can't attest to that opinion as I've not played this game nor Dark Souls yet to contrast the two. Screenshots look very much in that "Soulsborne" vein though. Particularly Xeogred - you may want to try this one.

Yeah, I've heard of this one and its potential influence or similarities on Souls. Definitely looks cool.

After watching some videos of Blade of Darkness today, I think it was highly likely an influence for Hidetaka Miyazaki.
