Customer Ratings & Reviews

I liked it a lot! About to start my second run through on hard mode. Buttery smooth gameplay, and the graphics are amazing. A must have for NSW2 owners

It's not the best game out there, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy every part of it (except the open world part). It's a flawed game, and definitely difficult to recommend, but if you think its for you its worth giving a shot. It is also one of the BEST uses of the Switch 2 graphics and worth it just for the stunning world it offers.

It does not take long for Metroid Prime 4 to throw out any facade of being a Metroid game. The art and sound design are spot-on, but your attempts to soak in the atmosphere will be dampered by being constantly told where to go, what to do, what you're looking at, etc. The mouse controls and 120fps output make this one of the smoothest games Nintendo have ever released, but the gameplay is dragged down by every area being built like a level to be completed instead of a part of an interconnected world. Thankfully, as a basic first-person shooter, the game is *good,* but it falls short of being great. Mainly, this is because it regularly sacrifices gameplay to further its story, but that story is abysmal. Like, genuinely astonishingly bad. Do yourself a favor and pick up the significantly better (and cheaper) Metroid Prime Remastered instead.

A very beautiful game with great music, but has gameplay that's a little too slow for me and a lackluster story.

This game has blown me away with the gameplay, graphics and sound. If you like the metroid prime series this is a game to get!

Maybe I'm not in alignment with many other reviewers, but I thought this game was outstanding: the graphics, the art design; the music; the setting; the boss fights are all top notch. The story is so-so and could have been better but I don't exactly look for Academy-Award winning story telling in video games. Many people have derided the desert, but I actually liked it and driving around exploring it. It has a certain eery desolation that in my opinion complements the other aspects of the game.

The first couple hours were a disappointment as it only feels like a Metroid Prime game in gameplay, though once it eventually let me explore I was happier. Open world was not a great choice in this particular execution as the planet feels lifeless between zones that have no connection outside of the open world that I traversed between them.

The Metroid Prime Trilogy defined my childhood growing up. After 18 long years, Prime 4 is finally here. And while there are some obvious and sometimes down right frustrating flaws, the core of the Metroid Prime identity is still there, and more gorgeous than ever thanks to its 4K and 120hz offerings. Not the best in the series, but still a memorable experience.

This game was absolutely amazing. I had a blast with it. But honestly I would have given it a higher rating if it wasn't such a hassle to get from Best Buy. Overall still an incredible game and don't worry the characters are annoying but don't last long so it really feels like a Metroid game at times. 9.5/10

There is so much artificial padding in this game and the desert is awful. The graphics are amazing and the 120 fps mode is dope. Volt forge and the ice zone are really good, but not much else of the game is that great. Also has AWFUL writing.

Easily one of the best looking and most atmospheric games on the system. I enjoyed it quite a bit

This is my first Metroid, so take this review with that in mind. I really like it. Found the gameplay very good and the world interesting to explore. While I know Metroid fans have mixed thoughts on this installment, I really like it

Phenomenal game. Don't listen to the haters - combat is great, graphics are top of the line,

Its a pretty good game, but it is different than previous prime games. It does not hide its linearity very well and doesnt have many new things. It has pretty fun combat, but its a just a bit more refined version of any previous metroid prime game. I enjoyed it, but there are a lot of problems that I overlooked.

Best Mertroid yet! Fun game with exploration and a good challenge

Graphics are fantastic. Gameplay is great. Storyline tracks beautifully.

This game brings everything that I enjoyed about the previous entries in the title, with the benefit of significant performance and visual improvements. The game feels like a step forward for the series without leaving behind the core that makes its Metroid prime.

Prime 4 plays fine but is unfortunately hindered by an unnecessary and empty-feeling desert hub that connects all the duneon-like areas. The lack of connectivity between the areas feels a bit bad but the overall exploration of those regions is generally fun and atmospheric in isolation. This game feels like a GameCube/ps2-era action-adventute game. But not entirely like a Metroid Prime game. It is worth picking up on sale.

It was great to play this game after a 16yr drought of Metroid Prime games, they really captured the elements of the original Metroid Prime games, and added some awesome new features.

Excellent game, awesome graphics and gameplay. Game bosses are great.
