Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Honestly I thought this was pretty solid. It seems like a lot of people wanted The Force Awakens of Metroid Prime and this is not that. If you can accept that they tried to do something different and appreciate it for what it is, I think it's a solid FPS with Metroidvania elements... maybe sometimes even some Zelda elements (dungeons). I do have a few nitpicks: Samus should talk and it's weird that she doesn't. Since you can't see her mouth move, I do fully believe she had lines at one point probably late into development and they removed them. It's fine to have her be a bad ass woman of few words but when people ask her general questions like "where are we" "what do we need to do" etc it's weird when she's just silent. It's not like Zelda where it's implied Link is talking sometimes. The green crystals... I have a few left and can't find them anywhere. Fuck those crystals. I don't mind the characters talking at Samus, even over the radio, but we could probably scale it back slightly. Let me ride around smashing crystals on my motorcycle, Miles. Fast travel would be nice. I hope they get a chance at Prime 5, I feel like they have a lot of stuff here with potential that just needs some refinement. Having a fresh start without inheriting some other studio's work would be good for Retro, I think. As for a score I think somewhere in the 8s would be appropriate. I need to reflect on it more.
