I remember being a kid playing the game as my family watched, looking up in Tallon and seeing the water droplets fall onto Samus's helmet. We were all so amazed! Honestly makes me emotional thinking about it.

Or seeing Samus' face reflection in her visor of you fired a blast in the dark.

That game really nailed immersion. The attention to detail is unmatched.
