Metroid Prime Remastered

Thoughts

I feel like Nintendo did a solid job on this one. The look and feel are how I remember the original GameCube version looking back in the day! I really like the exploration aspect of the 3D environments, which also carried over to the sequel Prime games. It’s pretty easy to traverse each area of the map without running in arbitrary obstacles — not something I can say about Metroid Dread — so I really appreciate that. Each mobility upgrade you get makes a pretty substantial difference to how you get around each area, too.

I completed the game finally — it was a fun play-through! I remember getting to the final boss in the original game (Metroid Prime) back in the day, but for some reason I don’t recall actually beating it. This time around, I felt like the boss wasn’t actually that difficult at all! I think it helped that I had acquired most of the powerup items and all of the beam upgrades.
