Slip into your Power Suit and charge up that Arm Cannon, as we're about to battle through the Metroid games and rank them from worst to best. Samus’ adventures have been gracing Nintendo consoles for nearly 30 years now, and it's a series space games fans shouldn’t miss out on.
Over the years, there have been both 2D and 3D Metroid games. Most fans of the series have a preference, but you should definitely experience Metroid in both 2D and 3D. Each of the Metroid games is equally important for understanding the full Metroid universe and its lasting impact across several game genres, which also led to the birth of the massive 'Metroidvania' subgenre and modern classics like Hollow Knight.
