For the past thirty-five years, Metroid has been one of Nintendo's best and most influential franchises. Both as a side-scrolling action game and first-person adventure, this series has redefined genres every step of the way. With the release of Metroid Dread, I want to go back in time to see what critics thought of the classic games when they first came out. To do that, we're going to look at two decades' worth of old magazine issues to see how Electronic Gaming Monthly ranks the Metroid franchise. From sequels to spin-offs to better looking remakes, this is what the Review Crew thought of Samus and her never-ending fight to rid the universe of those pesky Metroids.
