you'd say Metroid 2 has a fantastic atmosphere right?

>> No.7962293

all the metroids do. i think the gameboy in general has its own unique atmosphere though.

not a single portable metroidvania has touched SOTN in the atmosphere department.

honestly?… AoS > SotN. AoS might have lower res graphics with cut down sprites, have less fun gimmicks, etc etc, but it makes up for it with somber mood, perfect aesthetic, and excellent music. not to mention AoS is simply more interesting to play too.

Yes, probably the best atmosphere of any Game Boy game and maybe even the best atmosphere of the 2D Metroid games.

The main theme kills the immersion. Shit sounds like a Mega Man stage.

The tunnel theme is excellent, it's like a sigh of relief where you can let all the tension out before heading into the next dangerous zone. Why would you want every minute of the game to be oppressive from beginning to end with no breaks? It would be very fatiguing or just make you so used to the tension that it stops feeling tense. It's important to relieve tension occasionally.

for the time, on the gameboy, it was incredible.

They had a lot of jumpscares with the Metroid encounters, especially if you didn't realize that the Metroid husks were hinting that one was coming up.

Yeah, it's amazing. All Metroid games are good but it stopped being dreadful (I'm sorry) after Metroid 2. Fusion had a little bit of that but still not quite the same.
Also if you want something like 1,2 and Fusion in terms of atmosphere I highly recommend Dead Space

>wait, did you SERIOUSLY imply that a NEWER game is better than the older one?? it came out 6 YEARS later buddy, i'm taking away your boomer points
