Sometimes you are sure a game praised so much for over two decades, won't meet your expectations. Thankfully, it is not the case with Metroid Prime. It was my first ever playthrough of it and I loved it from top to bottom.
It plays like a dream, controls are tight, movement feels good, combat is fun, with enemies being very agressive. Every enemy, boss has it's weakness and it's up to you to learn about it. Bosses are varied and never just a simple shotting until health bar reaches 0%. Game's atmopshere is insane, music is top.
But the biggest star of the game is world, sense of wonder and level design. IT IS SO GOOD. In an age of AAA video games scared to even remotly trust in player's skills, here's a 21 year old game which totally understand what video games are all about. You will be in awe of design of this game. With every hour you Discover more about the world, how it is connected and what actually happend with that place. It's the best world building I've encountered in video game, next to Dark Souls/Hollow Knight/Outer Wilds.
+there is totally nothing else like it, AAA metroidvania games are non existent, and indie devs are going only for 2D style of it.
It feels fresh 21 years later, and its one of the best looking Switch games thanks to remaster.
Could not recommend it enough. If you love this medium, do yourself a favour and play it.
It is 6th game I've ever gave 10/10.
