It may surprise people to see me select Hyper Metroid for best overall here - I was notoriously critical of it on release, and continue to be one of its most vocal critics. Yet, when push comes to shove, it is impossible to deny that Hyper Metroid is a brilliantly constructed, incredibly polished, and beautifully made hack. Its biggest weakness, its open-endedness, is ironically one of its greatest strengths, and though it led to my initially strong dislike for the hack, it has proven over time that it is well deserving of being called not only 2015's best hack, but maybe one of the greatest of all time.

Hyper Metroid has been regarded as one of the best hacks on this site, and it deserves a title like this. It's very well-rounded with the exception of the Draygon fight, and its Project Base physics lend a great deal of help to making the gameplay more smooth and very enjoyable.

Even though I haven't voted for hyper in the other categories, I still think it's the best overall when you consider how you can travel through the map with such freedom, and I love the new jump height.

Hyper is top3 hack in the grand total and will stay there for a long time. The Project Base gameplay being free-ed in a quality new map is a duo creation weve seen multiple time now, but Hyper stays the peak. Gives both one of the best speed game even outside of hack territory and a really good feeling of play. Your skills becoming swag n style is the best recompense you can give to a player becoming better at the game.
