I have been a huge fan of the Metroid series since Fusion and have played them all over the years. The 2D ones have always been really great.
Prime 1 is one of my top games of all time. I never enjoyed Prime 2, when I was a kid or more recently as an adult. I only played Prime 3 a bit as I did not care that there were other people.
Metroid has always been about being alone and surviving.
I have been playing Metroid Prime 4 recently and It is very much the opposite of a Metroid style game. In fact, it feels quite linear and there is a lot of help telling you where to go pretty frequently.
The gameplay is not bad, but it is more like a generic shooter than a Metroid game.
What are your thoughts on the Prime series and Prime 4?


my switch is unfortunately in pieces on my work table awaiting new batteries which i keep forgetting to order… maybe when yuzu or whatever it’s called now gets good enough.
