Is it still worth playing?
AM2R, short for Another Metroid 2 Remake, is an action-adventure game made by the Argentine programmer Milton Guasti, released for Windows on 6 August 2016. It is an unofficial remake of Nintendo's Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus. The bounty hunter Samus Aran aims to eradicate the parasitic Metroids from their home world, SR388. The remake adds new graphics and music, a map system, new areas, mini-bosses and bosses, and a log system that gives more information on Metroids, enemies and the game world as the player meets them. The controls were redone, with new abilities such as wall jumping and grabbing onto ledges. A fan remake of a handheld game is still worth a look today.
