You know, I gave it some thought, and I realized what that statue boss reminded me off. While this is more "Metroid" than "vania" on the scale, this one boss gave me the vibes of some 2nd phase Dracula encounters. It just came to mind this time around. But anyway, heat resistance, fantastic! From very early on, that was a major limitation in terms of where you could go, but here we are now. Of course, it's also accompanied by even more danger, can't make it too easy now huh? And speaking of it being more on the "Metroid" side of things, I love how the inspiration shows through. The Chozo inspiration is definitely there, but now I'm wondering about the more organic aspect of things rather than just the technological we've dealt with so far. But first, gotta deal with that dangerous station AI. Definitely looks more manageable than the prior two, all things considered, but still tough. And so, onto the Derelict Ship! There's definitely something about that corridor and the buildup to this location that really adds this mysterious feeling to it all. Nothing like a transparent hallway with only the void of space around you to give you that sense you're headed somewhere very interesting!
