Customer Ratings & Reviews

Alright, I know this game has flaws, and according to some, those flaws are enough to drag down the entire experience of playing Metroid Prime 4. But for me, those flaws might as well be nitpicks compared to everything this game does so, so right. The art direction is the best of any Metroid game, and maybe any Nintendo game. The combat is excellent, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the boss fights. The more linear exploration is a negative for some, but allows the game's pacing and organic storytelling to flurish, similar to Metroid Fusion. On that topic, the story has its problems, sure, but it also introduces a lot of fascinating concepts. And trust me, if you give them a chance, the characters do grow on you (Even Myles). And that soundtrack? 10/10, as is expected for Metroid. I'd recommend this game to just about anyone who can enjoy a game for what it is, rather than focusing on what it isn't. After all these years, no other game gives me the same feeling the Prime series evokes, and Prime 4 has all of that in spades.

I know this game has received a lot of negative reviews online for a many reasons. I have finished the game, and I have played the first prime game. Overall this game isn't as good as previous prime games but it's still a good game worth playing especially if your a Metroid fan. Just because this game isn't a 10/10 or a 9/10 game doesn't mean you should avoid it. I personally give it a 8.5/10. This game does a good job immersing the player in the world and is very impressive graphically. I didn't encounter any bugs or frame rate issues. The gameplay is just like previous prime games and is more linear kinda like fusion. Another highlight is the boss fights are really good. Also I will clear up majority of the negative points people bring up online. 1. The NPCs voice lines and dialogue Majority of the NPCs dialogue is when you first encounter them or if a story event is occurring. Beyond that the engineer will guide you along once every 15-20min if your in the open desert area. If your not in the desert he will NOT talk. 2. The open desert area is empty and boring The desert is a bit empty but it still has things to do. Also you get to ride a motorcycle which is actually very fun. There's mini dungeons, crystals, side quest items, enemy encounters, etc. 3. I have to collect crystals to progress in the story, this is bad. Yes, this does happen towards the end. I don't see why people are bringing this up because this was in prime 1, but in that game you had to find a more challenging item compared to crystals. It probably took me 15 min of crystal collecting to finish the required part. I did collect crystals and did mini dungeons as I was progressing through the story. Conclusion If your a fan of Metroid, yes you will enjoy this game. It's also very beginner friendly so if your new to this series you could start here. It's not a bad game, don't believe all the negativity online.

Really like this title in for the Metroid Prime series, which continues the thing I like most about Metroid games is that each entry feels like a vastly different game than the one that came before it. The sci-fi elements in this game, like the other Prime games, just put this series on another level that I can't get from other sci-fi titles. Has some quirks, but those quirks don't annoy me because I've seen worse in other games. Just hope it takes a shorter time to get another Metroid Prime game than it took to get 4.

I must say that as Metroid Prime fan I really enjoyed this game despite what the "critics" say. It does have a little too much dialog for my liking but the experience overall was definitely great. Great visuals, great soundtracks, boss fights were really awesome and it really gives you a lot of hours full of fun. If you enjoyed the other Metroid Prime games you will definitely enjoy this one as well.

Simple controls and gameplay. Its a great game think its built for pc to be honest though.

Visually, Metroid Prime 4 is stunning. Alien landscapes are rich with detail, lighting sets a haunting tone, and the soundtrack elevates every moment with eerie, unforgettable themes. Boss battles are intense and memorable, pushing your skills while delivering pure adrenaline.

Great game, not the best Metroid prime but still amazing. The open world areais very empty and boring .

Bought this for my 8 year old. It’s his first Metroid game. He absolutely loves it. It looks amazing on 4k, switch 2 console.

If you like Metroid prime,this doesn't change the formula too much the NPCs aren't as annoying as most reviews say,it's a good game,I wish it would have came on the day off not a few days after,tbh that's why I don't see the point of preorders of you guys can't get it to me on release.

Love this game! It’s epic and gorgeous. Controls like a dream too.

Solid game and great entry point for new Metroid players. Definitely not the best in the series but I enjoyed every second of it!

Great game, have been highly enjoying this. If you like the Prime series you will definitely enjoy this game!!

Good sequel for the Metroid Prime series. Enjoyable gameplay and combat.

It's gorgeous and nostalgia i'm glad I got to experience the new one

I waited for it for years and the best, I finally arrived and I don't regret playing it.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond is a good game not an excellent game, specially after 8 years and all the hype that was created. I am really waiting for Metroid Dread 2 !!!

The reason why I give this a four star rating is because the graphics on the game is clean and the frame rate is also fast. I also like how you can use one joycon controller for a mouse and it really works well. I enjoy the gameplay and also the story is interesting. But it follows the same formula as Metriod prime 1, 2, and 3 nothing really new besides her psychic powers.

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

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.

Some parts of the game are brilliant. Others a little messy. I didn't mind the NPCs until you have to keep them alive in one big boss battle and their ability to stay alive is terrible ending your game if they die.
