I'm not big on the old 2D games, to be honest. Even Super Metroid which everybody loves I've never got further than a couple hours in. Way too much "trial and error" type exploration in all of them which I find frustrating more than anything. Even Fusion which basically loves telling you where to go will purposely stonewall you with paths you have no idea or indication to advance from, only finding it when you shoot and bomb everything in every room. Just kind of lazy design.
I love the Prime games though, and found Dread to be totally fantastic (while not having any of the frustrations from the older games I mentioned above).
If you ask me, Dread and Prime Remastered are easily the two best games in the series.
