The game is very light on story, and you’ll only get that much through the constant use of Samus’ scan visor. After losing her gear while taking out their ship, Samus needs to explore Talon IV, power herself up, and find a way into a meteor’s impact site to end the Phazon threat. Formerly colonized by the Chozo race, their civilization is now in ruins and the Space Pirates have moved in, mining a dangerous resource called Phazon. Metroid Prime follows Samus Aran as she explores the planet Talon IV. And let me tell you, I’ve finally seen the light. Despite that experience, I jumped at the chance to give the game another shot with the surprise announcement and release of a remaster on Nintendo Switch. Still, as a student of game design, I saw it through to the end. The controls were clunky, combat was awkward, and platforming only worked about half the time. Playing through Metroid Prime on my Wii U, I absolutely despised the experience. Oddly enough, as a game more focused on action, I enjoyed Other M the most out of that list. Before that, I had tried the original NES title, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime Hunters, Other M, and even Metroid Prime. If you’ve read my Metroid Dread review, you’ll know that despite several attempts, that was the first game that really got me into the series. When it first launched in 2002, it received critical and commercial success, being lauded as a step forward in the FPS genre. Metroid Prime by Nintendo and Retro Studios is regarded as one of the greatest games ever made.
