There isn't anything wrong with having a character with PTSD, but Samus either goes from emotionless robot to scared little girl, which is nothing like she was in other games. We saw in Corruption that she was cool, collected, but also distraught by killing her colleagues, without saying 1 WORD. She even had a semblance of a sense of humor, fooling Dane into thinking she was dead. Here's something we've never seen before: why couldn't Samus be optimistic, or a little playful at times, especially around her friend Anthony? We've never actually seen Samus smile or laugh before. I mean, of course she needs to remain calm and collected while on the job, but if there had just been ONE funny monologue, it would show players that she's not just a killing machine, but someone we might relate to. You could even let her have her PTSD, but don't let Ridley of all things be the trigger. This review doesn't have great format, but in conclusion: Other M was the first chance we would see our heroine reveal her thoughts, and the fact that the lazy script and terrible acting made her a death robot or a little girl that needed rescuing was infuriating because it was disappointing: I wanted to be closer to Samus and finally get to know her better, but this game stepped back her personality in every wrong direction.
