Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have enjoyed this game quite a bit. It has pretty decent exploration even though there is a fair bit of hand holding. I didn’t find the NPC’s extremely annoying only slightly here and there. It has an open world area that feels forced into the game, but the main areas are solid. I have played all of the Metroid Prime Games to completion, 4 is not the best one but it’s definitely the best looking one. I would say it was worth the price to play it.

Excellent gameplay and atmosphere. Feels polished and rewarding.

The visuals are impressive and gameplay is unique, different than other Metroid games still very good. Some people are giving lower ratings saying not quite the same but each game should be different. They're a high expectations because the game took so long but it had to go in a different direction. I like what I have played so far.

Awesome remake. Good story good gameplay and incredible graphics

Ive always been a fan of metroid and i was stocked for prime 4! Its a great game and has its flaws but it makes up for it in its world design, music, and atmosphere! Its also a very good starting point if your interested in the metorid series as it doesnt require knowledge of any previous titled to fully enjoy

This is by far the best looking game Nintendo has ever produced. Mouse controls are very responsive, 4K visuals and 120 fps run very well. Level design can be questionable in some places, but overall solid game. By far the best combat in any Metroid Prime game to date. A must have in any Switch 2 collection.

Overall I enjoyed my time with Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. A much more straight forward adventure to previous games in the series with a 12 hour campaign. Many of it collectibles are very visible and easy to find. My biggest issues is the lack of environmental puzzles that span multiple rooms or areas that slow the pace down. This one is more combat heavy but has a lack of diverse enemy placement and types of enemies that create much challenge. Many of your increased arsenal changes the flow well, enemies can be frozen for a good set of time allowing you to deal with enemies more easily. Electrical blast that arc to multiple enemies to slowly whittles their numbers. It a good games but not tightly knit together to over games in the series.

This game is an absolute must-have, especially if you played the original Metroid Prime on GameCube. It keeps that classic Metroid feel while looking and running great on the Switch 2. Exploration, atmosphere, and gameplay are all top-notch. Totally worth it for longtime fans.

Despite some minor flaws, this game not only looks great but plays great too. Such a fun experience and a great entry point for people new to the series.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a visually breathtaking title that pushes the hardware to its absolute limit with gorgeous lighting, atmospheric environments, and incredible music. The tight first-person combat and inventive, challenging boss fights are easily highlights of the experience. However, the game makes a few divisive choices that hold it back from true greatness. The new central desert overworld and motorcycle traversal feel heavily underutilized and introduce tedious backtracking and progression padding. Additionally, the constant radio chatter from companion NPCs breaks the classic, lonely isolation that fans love about the series. Ultimately, it is a highly polished and incredibly fun adventure with stellar high points, but the pacing issues make it feel a bit bloated compared to the original trilogy.

Fantastic game! If you have enjoyed any of the Prime titles, this will be an easy transition for you. If this is your first Prime experience, you’ll love it! Great graphics and gameplay. Cool story.

Wonderful soundtrack, beautiful graphics both in handheld and docked, fun puzzles and epic boss battles. I don’t think the game gave enough time to really develop a relationship with the characters. Some people may not like how linear the game feels. Some parts feel a bit empty. Overall I was happy that this game showed what the Switch 2 can do and it excites me for an other Prime game down the line or even a follow up to Dread

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond is a great return for a beloved, sort of dormant franchise. It looks great, plays better than ever, and goes in a bold direction. I've enjoyed the game thus far.

Haven’t found a game on switch that graphically made me stop to take screenshots, world is stunning on Switch 2 and gameplay is challenging enough for casual gaming

The graphics and gameplay were great. The story line was not that great and I disliked all the side characters talking.

Metroid Prime 4 is fine, but it definitely makes some goofy choices. The core Prime vibe is still there: atmospheric alien planet, tight FPS exploration, and Samus things. But then you’re riding a motorbike across a mostly barren desert, juggling psychic powers that feel like they were patched in from another game, and occasionally sitting through cutscenes that don’t add much. It’s enjoyable, but it never quite reaches the elegance of the original trilogy.

This game is very fun, especially once you learn the mechanics of how to use the controllers. It was a bit frustrating to start, but you get the hang of it quickly. Gameplay is fun, typical Metroid style. Delivery was fast as always with Best Buy. No compliants here!

Metroid Prime 4 is quite a good FPS with fantastic frame rate and graphics and a showcase for the Switch 2

No pun intended - this is a prime example of what a modern Metroid Prime game should be. I’ve seen some mixed responses online, but as an avid fan of the series, this is truly a great place to start. I loved the story of this game, and I was completely enamored with the world design and visual storytelling throughout. To me, this is the best Prime game to date. I adore how Retro Studios crafted a unique and beautiful alien world. Please, please try this out if you’re even remotely interested. It’s a stunner!

If you’ve played the other Prime games before, you’ll know what you’re getting into. If not, just know this isn’t your typical first person shooter. There are some things I think they should remove for the next game (I sure hope there is another game), but I honestly loved my experience. Very fun, plays smoothly, and art direction is really good.
