Metroid: Other M - The Elephant in the Room

I think it’s fair to say that Metroid: Other M is not the Metroid game that many people wanted. Some gamers seem to really enjoy the direction taken with Samus’ most recent outing, while others feel that the character of Samus has been tainted a bit by the Other M outing. While we’ve seen discussion of both sides of this argument before, it’s time to really take an in-depth look at Other M, just to see what went right and what went wrong.
