Even as someone who's known a lot of fear, the fear of being alone is crushing. Not knowing where to go, what to do, if the next area is hostile or beautiful or somewhere inbetween. And that's the beauty of Metroid Prime. It has this aura that the other games really don't have.

The trilogy follows a weird sequence. The second game focuses on the moments right before and after death. The third focuses on the moment of death and what you could do to stop it. The first however focuses mainly on a corpse after it dies, and the vultures that pick said corpse clean.

Prime has that weird aura. Where everything is dead, long dead, excluding the Space Pirate Vultures who try to pick a corpse of a planet of it's one evil yet alluring resource after it's fall. Where everything is dead, perished, except for the horrors that rose after. And where for a few moments. Where everything is quiet and away from the evil and the vultures and the dead. Where those moments of wonder and mystery give themselves up and show in the most beautiful way.
