   Anyway, as you find biometals and fight mavericks, it turns out there's two evil kids named Prometheus and Pandora who talk about "His game", a game of destiny and some shit... and you're in it and they are like mid-bosses who also appear later on. It's not entirely clear what they are, except incredibly cringe. Shadow levels of edgy and cringe.
   
   Well, you find out there's another biometal: model W. GET IT? 'CAUSE DR. WEIL? OR WILY? IT COULD BE EITHER OF THEM! And that biometal is the most powerful one that needs all other biometals to awaken. And it takes sacrifices... and there's an afterlife, and faith, and a lot of things that don't fit in a futuristic robot game. I mean, A Robot Named Fight pulled it off well; but that was made by a Westerner. This is Oriental people who live in green mist and don't understand story-telling or world-building.
   
   So, Pandora and Prometheus want to awaken model W and Serpent is a pawn in their game, but Serpent thinks he's the boss; but then it turns out Serpent was a Guardian before he got corrupted by model W, who sleeps but also doesn't. Like Cthulhu. After you win, the big building in the middle of the city explodes taking with it a big chunk of the city. Again, humans die with no explanation or context. And it's not even portrayed as a bad collateral of what happened.
   
   Point is... you can't have a metroidvania where you can die in one hit to a bottomless pit or a wall of spikes. Or where you have a single bar of health. Like having Alucard fight Dracula on 99 HP. It just doesn't work with the way the game is designed. Plus the travel is tiresome. You do so much walking around it's crazy. Most of the time you're going from one place to another and there's not even a hint of where the areas with mavericks are. You just have to wander around until you stumble upon them.
   
   At least enemy placement improved massively from the Mega Man Zero series where it was outright hostile. And enemies attack after appearing on screen, as if this was a video game or something.
   
   You fight model W and win and it's over, but hold on... there's one more game.
