I really wish Other M had a version where all the story beats were removed entirely
That's the one I haven't played. Then I had to look up who this weird "Adam" character was in some of the following games...
I remember the plot was odd, but reading a random wiki didn't make the story really stick for me.
When I played Metroid Other M I went from "Oh shit, Adam's here. This is going to be awesome." to "I'm fucking glad you're dead Adam."
(Adam was in Metroid Fusion as an AI upload where he was said to be Samus' ex-husband and that she liked him due to him being the one man not intimidated by her being a planet destroying killing machine shaped like a woman)
What went on in that game? The plot synopses I've found have lacked detail; he just comes off as vaguely controlling and uncommunicative.
Basically Adam spins the whole game gaslighting Samus into thinking she's worthless, and because she's a girl she falls for this bullshit because she likes Adam's cock... it gets to the point where there are creepy scenes where Adam refuses to authorize Samus' Varia Suit because he actively wants to see her in pain to "test her resolve" or some shit (Read: Because it's Tanabae's kink)
It's insanely misogynistic and nothing about Samus as a character in Other M lines up with the character as shown in Metroid Prime, Super Metroid (the game Other M is a direct sequel to) or Metroid Fusion (the game Other M is a direct prequel to)
Ugh, okay - I suspected something hinky was going on with Adam just from the summaries I'd seen, but I'm just as happy to give that game a miss now! Think I like him better as a brain in a box, but it still colors their relationship...
