Summary

Axiom Verge is a great game with plenty of exploration, and the additions to the Wii U version were nicely handled.  Fans of the Metroid series will likely want to check it out.  Be cautious however, as there's a lot of back tracking to previous areas that felt like it could have been handled better.  If you can get past that, you have a great Metroid-style game that feels like it belongs on an 8-bit or 16-bit system.
