So many times when I was exploring the game, it felt like I was wandering away from the “obvious” path otherwise laid out ahead.

Maybe I’d fallen through a floor tile or ended up fighting a few enemies that took me to another transport hub - whatever.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. The genius of Metroid Dread is knowing that no matter where you are, the game’s map will fold back on itself eventually. Maybe you take a deviation to another area entirely - just keep going; keep making forward momentum and you’ll circle back to what you were initially focused on in good time.
