Although Metroid Dread is the newest game in the entire series, it seems that fans are more focused on Other M currently. Recently, the game developed by Team Ninja for the Wii became a trend on Twitter. In this social network, several fans re-formed a conversation that has been present since that title hit the market in 2010.
Thus, The players used the space provided by the social network to talk about the positive points of Other M, like its history, gameplay and its representation of mental problems.
“Metroid: Other M is a story about love, loss, grief, and overcoming trauma / mental health.
Not understanding any of these avenues within a character because it was not how you had imagined them in your own head is, honestly, the greatest injustice for the game and for Samus herself ”.

“Metroid Other M is trending. And despite the naysayers, it’s a GOOD thing.
It is a daring game that, despite some flaws, had a strong vision behind it. An attempt to make Samus a person with emotion and inner thought that I respect. Plus, it’s just FUN!
We agree with Samus and Other M! “

Nevertheless, there are also people who have pointed out their faults, like the story, gameplay and how linear the adventure is.
“It’s that time again, huh? People trying to justify and defend the terrible narrative and TERRIBLE writing of #OtherM. If you like the game, that’s fine, but it is undeniable that these things are true. Trying to fit in with PTSD, etc, just to make it dramatic for the simple fact that it sucks. “

Editor’s Note:
Although Other M It has become the most controversial installment of the series, I have to admit that I am a fan of Team Ninja’s work. The experience is fun and, despite how linear it is during much of the adventure, the exploration at the end to obtain all the items becomes fun.
