Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Metroid Dread (and the Metroid series in general).

Samus Aran is the coolest damn character in gaming... at least in theory. She’s essentially Han Solo crossed with Ellen Ripley with Iron Man’s armor and her own spaceship. It’s a combination that conjures up nearly endless possibilities, and yet, Nintendo doesn’t quite seem to know what to do with her. Samus got off to a great start, but the character’s been a bit of a mess for the past couple decades, and sadly, the recently-released Metroid Dread (while fun overall) doesn’t really address her longstanding issues.
