Super Metroid
Jedi: Survivor owes a huge debt to Super Metroid, and it knows it. In fact, early on in Survivor, you encounter a situation that serves as a direct reference and homage to Nintendo’s masterpiece. However, the real reason to play Super Metroid after Jedi: Survivor is that, like Survivor’s Cal, playing as Samus just feels great, and like Survivor’s smooth, rewarding progression, Super Metroid doles out a steady stream of new items and abilities that give you access to more and more of its atmospheric, sci-fi world. Of course, today it feels like there are a million games that do this, but very, very few do it as well as Survivor. Super Metroid is absolutely one of them. — Carolyn Petit
