This was my first time playing a Prime game, and it was a blast! The exploration was pretty dang fun in 3D, and most of the time combat was pretty great. I used the newer dual-stick control scheme and it felt so nice to play. The game has such a strong atmosphere that I just couldn't get enough of. Although I will say, the game was also quite irritating at a few points: namely the Thermal Visor sections.
The Thermal Visor in this particular version of Prime is, for some god-forsaken reason, needlessly fuzzy and difficult to perceive enemies and obstacles, meanwhile in the original game it still has visual clarity. I don't know WHY the devs decided to make this actively worse, but it really hurts these sections of the game.
Aside from the bit with the Thermal Visor, the only other issues I had were 1) that the Omega Pirate fight was REALLY just unfun for me and 2) that it would've been nice if there were just a couple of extra Save Rooms sprinkled around as well.
Otherwise, I had an absolutely wonderful time with this game. I really hope they give this treatment to Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch as well (but please for the love of god fix the Thermal Visor).
