Seeing as I missed the GameCube growing up, this was my first opportunity to play Metroid Prime. Despite technically being a first person shooter, the game does not necessarily emphasize that aspect, as it maintains the Metroid formula with an emphasize on exploration and atmosphere, which it does excellently. The bosses provide a challenge but are nowhere near the difficulty of the bosses in Metroid Dread. My minor complaints involve the large amount of backtracking required and the somewhat sluggish movement, but neither of these bothered me as much as the brightness problem. It’s possible that there is a hidden setting somewhere that you can change to fix this, but the darkness in some rooms became very frustrating to navigate. Overall, still a great game that does a fantastic job of taking what works in 2D Metroid and transferring that to a satisfying 3D experience.
