Summary

A 3D exploration-focused metroidvania with first-person shooting mechanics and the first 3D entry in the Metroid series, Metroid Prime follows Samus Aran after the events of Metroid (1986) as she boards a Space Pirate frigate, then chases her escaping archrival Ridley into the intricately structured Tallon IV, a planet full of deadly wildlife and former home to the advanced and ancient Chozo race.

Even better on Switch, final fetch quest is not great

A beautiful rebirth of the series for a new generation (me)

Did for the Metroid games what Maroi 64 and Zelda OOT did for their respective franchises: brought it into the 3D gaming space and revolutionised what was possible for an exploration game in the 1st person. I think the 2nd game was better though because of the added challenge.

Perhaps borrows too heavily from Super in some aspects, while also lacking some core aspects of the series, such as Shinesparking.
With such a strong vision and execution it almost does not matter, though.

Fun and novel when it isn’t repetitive and annoying
