Metroid: Other M

Violence This game involves lots of fighting with futuristic weapons, largely against monstrous aliens.

Scary Imagery There are lots of scary monsters in this game, but playing it won't make most teenagers feel too nervous.

Sex & Nudity Samus Aran is frequently shown in her skin-tight "zero-suit."

Discrimination Other M has been criticized for misogynistic and inconsistent treatment of its lead female protagonist. The game includes several flashbacks and inner monologues which reveal information about Samus's past and current emotional state. These moments were controversial for fans because Samus was often portrayed as in a deep emotional distress, instead of stoically kicking butt like usual. Additionally, the player must watch lengthy animations of Samus in a skin-tight "zero-suit" instead of her usual bulky armor.

Further, in past games, Samus is treated as an incredibly well-known and admired military asset. Despite this, in Other M, Samus takes orders from a male commander who generally treats her as if she is getting in his way and doesn't know what she's doing.
