It's a good thing

The progression of weapons and abilities feels a bit fast, with the wall clinging ability of the ball coming up quickly, so things like bomb jumps seems worthless at first

Not that those things in and of themselves aren't amazing - it just doesn't fit the Metroid universe

One unavoidable, unchangeable, totally unnecessary thing

According to howlongtobeat.com, it should only have taken 11 hours, but I”m happy to report it took twice that (which is a good thing).
