Metroid Samus Returns - First playthrough log part 3

So far I've just been getting 1 energy tank per area... I bet I could probably find a few more if I went back to Area 1 and Surface right now... but nah.

Current Play Time: 3:55:09
14.7% item completion, 27 Metroids remaining

Area 3

My Area 3 completion % after thoroughly exploring everywhere is 47.6%.

Area 4 Introduction

These environments just keep getting more and more interesting. This game looks so amazing in 3D.

At this point in the game, the normal enemies are becoming quite a nuisance. I don't even know how to kill those grey rock enemies at all, and a bunch of them can only be killed efficiently when using Lightning Armor or Beam Burst, which means I actually care about watching my Aeion supply now, in addition to my health. Missiles have never been a problem though. I always get plenty of missile drops and I never come close to running out of them now that I'm at like 94 capacity.

Also, did I mention how HUGE this game is? I'm playing very thoroughly, trying to find all the metroids and items that I can without using Scan Pulse or backtracking to previous areas, and so far my file is only at 21.3% completion, after 6 and a half hours. This game is longer than any other Metroid by a large margin. After I beat this, I think it'll be a while before I come back to it and attempt Hard Mode and the speedrun endings.
