    Beyond: So Far, So Good!

    I’ve been playing this game for hours the past couple of days, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is stunning. The atmosphere, the graphics, the satisfying first-person puzzle/combat loop; it's all perfect Prime DNA. The Control Beam is the coolest mechanic so far. I'm hooked on scanning every alien thing and figuring out how to progress. I’m not finished with the game yet but I can tell it’s the beautiful adventure I was waiting for!

    Metroid Prime 4

    I recommend this game it is an amazing addition to the Metroid series as it captures the same story telling and environment setting that made the previous games great.

    A worthy successor to the original trilogy

    While it's hard to recapture the magic of a series that was, for me, revolutionary at the time, Beyond gives it an impressive try. Much hubbub was made online over Vi-O-La (the motorcycle), the open world desert area, and the few Federation marines Samus finds stranded on the planet. To hear some talk, all of that ruined the series. Thankfully - and pretty much as expected - none of that's true. The marines are fine, the motorcycle is fun, and the game sends Samus through several different zones/areas to explore, gather power-ups and abilities, and progress the story. The lack of guidance in prior games is gone, now with occasional waypoints shown or tips from a marine (plus an area-scan you can find to reveal hidden items), but it's still Metroid Prime as I know and love it.

    Enjoyable series addition

    I've played the majority of metroid games and all in the prime series. This game is yet another enjoyable addition with beautiful graphics. As a reminder, buyers can get the switch 2 upgrade for $10 (on the Nintendo store) after purchasing the switch base game. So, this was also a very cost effective way to get the upgraded game.

    Best Game of 2025

    The most incredible Switch game I’ve ever played. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a euphoric experience playing a video game. Highly recommend playing with a stereo or surround sound system, the audio in this game is unforgettable.
