Half a loaf of Metroid Dread. (No spoilers, except for maybe Fusion.) 

I'm actually enjoying this game, but there are so damn many buttons in active use (including the fucking click-your-analog-stick crap) that I frequently fumble and fire one shooty thingy when I really needed the other shooty thingy and then next thing I know I'm watching the "Samus' armor shatters to reveal that she doesn't look any different from before the accident and the Metroid DNA and also she's dead now" cutscene again. Or the "you missed the frame-perfect timing two times in a row so Samus is dead now" cutscene. Those are the best.

Speaking of cutscenes, I'm kinda ticked. I took a shuttle from one zone to a new area and thought, "These are pretty slow loads and I'll just show up in an empty shuttle station so I'll go grab something from the kitchen real quick." Then I came back halfway through an obviously important cutscene with no way to see it again other than reloading a save and redoing some exploration. Ugh. What year is this, again?

Also, this far into the series and I still don't know why Metroid can't crawl.
