Metroid Prime was my entry point to the Metroid franchise when it first came out, and it absolutely still holds its high quality even to this day. Unfortunately, it lacks a few quality-of-life improvements made to the genre, such as a way to track which upgrades you have already acquired, but the fact that exploring the game world is such a pleasant experience helps soften the blow of the constant backtracking required at times.

At the end of the day, the remastered graphics and modern control styles do a great job of elevating this game to modern hardware, thus allowing this classic to cement itself yet again as a must-play for fans of deep 3D exploration and intricate level design.
