Then do it

Doing exactly that. Working in grey block out as I have no art skills.

I'm about halfway through this.

It's passable. I'm annoyed by the 2.5D art style and the melee counter combat. All the areas look the same and they're too repetitive.

My main impression is that I could make a better Metroid game than this using the same assets.

Chapter 2 has been out for a few weeks now.

It is great - better than Chapter 1 in both a technical and creative sense. The art and animations are subtly better, the music is top tier, and the polish and UX is greatly improved.

It's now possible to see how a full game with a theme of "your choices don't matter" will work. Much more so than Chapter 1.

And the alternative route is also great, although probably designed to watch on YouTube instead of playing, but makes the main route better by association.

The remaining chapters are now my most anticipated game.

I have joined from the other place due to the subtle pitching.
