This thing lives or dies by its atmosphere, so it's a good thing it's one of the most well realized, enthralling, and no-this-isn't-a-buzzword genuinely immersive games ever made. The effects the environment can have on the visor... how hasn't every first person game been copying this.
I have some quibbles ranging from minor to somewhat major, the bosses could use work, I wish more movement options unlocked ala 2D Metroid's screw attack or speed booster to make backtracking later feel more rewarding and less occasionally obnoxious, combat in general could have done with some punching up etc but the actual act of just going through this incredible world renders a lot of that moot. Yamamoto's OST is incredible. I really hope that Retro finally shipping something again and seeing the positive reception its gotten gives them the confidence to really deliver in the home stretch of Prime 4.
