Why Metroid Dread's Varia Suit Looks Awesome

Cheers for watching my channel everyone!

I've loved this series for a long time and this Varia Suit looks like possibly the best design Metroid has ever had. I really hope you folk enjoyed this deep dive into some of the more obvious and extremely subtle design techniques used on the Varia Suit in particular.

I would've written some of the Power, Gravity and [REDACTED] suits, but this was probably longer than I should have done already.
