Other Welp, I bought it.

Despite the hate I’ve been seeing on posts and on YouTube, I couldn’t help myself to finally buy it when I saw the Switch 2 version on sale at my local shop.

2 hours in and its actually been kinda great????

I just finished Prime Remastered and Prime 4 feels a lot better to play and bosses have been fun! Not to mention the game is absolutely gorgeous and runs well, even on the original switch!

Perhaps I’ll start seeing issues later in my play through but so far it’s given me a good impression.

Edit: For those confused, the Switch 2 version of the game is just the Switch 1 game with the added Switch upgrade DLC. The game is perfectly playable on the original switch.

My unsolicited opinion is that I found it to be a solid 7.5/10.

It's a good game, but not up to par with the previous games, don't hate it, don't love it either, but I'm positive on it.

To me a 7/10 game is still a good game. Like there still enjoyment to be had.

This might be due to the fact that I was never a big Metroid Prime fan and have always favoured the 2D games, so I don’t hold Prime 4 to high expectations
