    I just finished the game yesterday, and all I can say is wow. It was my first time playing Metroid Prime and I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was done so well. The combat is fun. The music is perfect. And the puzzles are great. I loved exploring Tallon IV so much that I'm going to replay this game a bunch of times to try and cut down my completion time.

    Il gioco è perfetto, è molto più di una semplice remastered, il gioco è rimasto perfettamente uguale al livello di gameplay ma ha subito un remake grafico che rende tutto molto più piacevole.

    I played this game on my Youtube channel, and I'm speechless to say how good it is...Everything about it is so PERFECT. Much improved textures, others redone from the beginning, new elements in the scenery, new details and functions in the menu... Perfect.

    One of the best gaming launched in 2022 and one of the best game ever made.
    Metroid Prime is a colossal adventure of Samus in space, a major and unbelievable exploration game in first person, is unique and iconic.

    Despite being a 20 year old game, the mechanics are updated wonderfully for modern times and the visuals are among the best (if not the best) that the system has to offer. The same amazing soundtrack as always, and the same incredible world building and level exploration the original offered, along with frantic and fun combat that feels reminiscent of a 2D game despite being a FPS.

The same amazing soundtrack as always, and the same incredible world building and level exploration the original offered, along with frantic and fun combat that feels reminiscent of a 2D game despite being a FPS. This isn't to say that first timers won't run into various issues, being lost can be unrewarding and frustrating, but the reality is that in modern times it is easy to find solutions if you're no longer enjoying the experience. When you're on track, it's an incredible experience. While Metroid Prime 4 certainly could learn a lot from 20 years of other games in terms of first person movement and pacing when it comes to backtracking, it's still top in its class overall.… Expand

    Simply stunning! From dual stick controls to the classic and wii pointer. The visuals are outstanding. I had this game at launch on the GameCube and on the the Wii, in the trilogy edition. This is truly the definitive version. The love crafted into this game shows and doesn't deter even against new shooters. There isn't another game like this and I look forward with anticipation for Prime 4.

    The Original Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games of all time, and I’m still STUNNED that we got a remaster of this quality.

It’s a game with a phenomenal atmosphere as you explore a hostile alien world and recover your powers while uncovering the mystery of what happened here.

    One of the best games of all time gets a sudden drop, with a lot of work being done in graphics and control for it to be in parity with other modern games. The end result is an incredible experience that needs to be experienced on the Switch. 20 years on and still a classic.

    Nintendo just made a 9/10 game into a 10. The way the game handled on the GameCube is long gone and now plays like a modern FPS. The graphics have been updated and even though it doesn’t look like a game that would play on your your PS5, it’s one of the best looking games you’ll find on switch. The original story is still intact and now can be enjoyed portability on your Nintendo switch.

    The great thing about true video game showstoppers is that even if they have flaws, they're so amazing you really don't care enough to write about them. I'm so happy to be playing Metroid Prime again, and I'm thrilled to find that it stuns and amazes just as well as it did in 2002. Here's hoping it becomes the Metroid series' viral breakthrough.

    Growing up on the GCN, I was worried for this Remaster. Metroid Prime Remaster is breathtaking, start to finish. This blurs the line of Remaster vs Remake, and for a $39.99 price tag, it’s a steal. Great job Nintendo.

    Game makers: take note. Metroid Prime Remastered is a masterclass in how to modernize a masterpiece. Twenty years after the series made the transition to 3D, this remains a classic that has stood the test of time. The updated visuals prove that with some optimization and visual tricks, the Switch is really capable of delivering great games. In fact, this is one of prettier – if not the prettiest –Switch games to date.

    A classic returns in Metroid Prime Remastered. A complete visual overhaul makes the world of the game look better and more detailed than ever before. A new dual-stick control scheme makes the game approachable and palatable for new players, while veterans can opt for controls that mimic the original. Underneath it all, though, the masterpiece that is Metroid Prime Remains unchanged. Some more quality of life improvements could perhaps have been made, but it is a tiny complaint for a near-perfect remaster.
