Customer Ratings & Reviews

Probably the best looking game on either the switch or switch 2, the gameplay is a marked improvement over prime 3. The npcs are not as annoying as some people say and the Moter cycle is very cool. BUT: The desert is boring the human story is full of cliches, the alien story feels like it doesn't matter, and the villian story seems incidental to everything else. Thr ending was just bad. Thst doesn't make the game bad, but it is a missed opportunity If you liked metroid prime 3 this is better, but as a story it's definefly worse than 1 and 2

Game looks beautiful, plays really well. Powerups are fun but unlike many other Metroid games there doesn't seem to be a point to use your powerups anywhere other than very obvious locations and I don't remember there even being an enemy that was immune to weapons of any types. If its your first time playing a Metroid game it's a great start. For veteran players it's an alright game. I know I bought the Switch 2 version of this game but the price is too steep for what I got from it. Finished it in about 14 hours 100%.

The visuals are awesome. It has great graphics and the music is eerie and intriguing. The action is fast paced and fun, levels have a great unique field to them and it’s just the right balance of challenge and progression. I enjoyed the game very much. I’m still working my way through it. I’m about 80% done. Another great thing about this game is that it calls us value versus games from other consoles because it’s only on Nintendo so if you purchase it the rest assured after you finish it if you plan to sell it, you will get a lot of your money back. This is a great buy. I hope to see them make more Metroid games.

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!

After 8 long years since it was announced, we finally have Metroid Prime 4. The visuals are excellent, the gameplay is terrific, the psychic powers and weapons are fun to use, and the boss fights are good. While the open world aspect is rather barren and the supporting characters are one-note, I still enjoyed my time with this game and I recommend it.

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.

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.

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.

While a bit divisive, I truly had such an amazing time with Metroid prime 4. That it’s peaks the gameplay rivals the best of what the prime series has to offer. And personally, I even really enjoyed some of the side characters their interactions with Samus and didn’t mind the trek through Sol Valley, as the moments of solitude gave me a good change of pace. I really loved my experience with the game and even after two play through find myself thinking about a third. Highly recommend!!!

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.

I love the Metroid Prime series and 4 is a great addition. The only downside of 4 is the new motorcycle mechanic. It is just boring and doesn't feel good to drive or fight with. Everything else is great. The game looks great on the Switch 2 and plays just like a Metroid Prime game should. It is also on the cart and not a game key card.

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.

Whether you have played a Metroid game or not, Metroid Prime 4 is an easy one to jump into. Visually it’s a stunning game with beautiful graphics and smooth gameplay. It is a first person shooter that prioritizes exploration and puzzle solving while mixing in fun boss fights. There is a story in the game, but the previous entries were more subtle with story, so this one has a just fine as a standalone!

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.

actually a pretty splendid time, the more linear stage design allows for extremely well done combat encounters and cool moment after cool moment for every area sol valley isn't very fun though so i'd try to lookup shortcuts and strats to speed up that section

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.

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.

The game has solid pacing, and ends without overstaying its welcome. No question this is Metroid at its core, but the direction may feel unsure of where it's headed. Long-time fans may leave disappointed that while this new adventure sticks the landing, the flight was relatively lackluster.

Great game overall Only issue is the fact it isn’t really a Metroid game It has incredible graphics and is probably the best looking Nintendo first party game But yea not really a Metroid game a heart

It's definitely a good game, but you can notice the big band-aid between different ideas. The plot is ...... let's leave it like that. It has really great sound/music and great visuals on the different level environments.
