"In an effort to make up for the series' lax degree of difficulty, Zero Mission cranks up the overall heat. Unfortunately, it becomes so determined in its task that it comes awfully close to consuming itself and its founding foundations from within.

This one does have a part later in the game where the player has to go an area with just her Zero suit, which makes one feel more in dire isolation than in "

"Chozo Metroidvania
All of Samus's abilities come from the Chozo race that raised her, so for a change of pace from playing as said bounty hunter, a Chozo bird-person would make for a perfect protagonist. The game could present the tests and rituals that the Chozo are expected to go through in order to earn adulthood, thus bringing in the need for learning their staple abilities and facing the trials always present in a Metroid game.
