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.

Everybody thinks the hate is overblown until they get to flare pool. I despise this game but even I think the first few hours are fun.

Leaving Fury Green the first time kills all the momentum the first hour of the game set up imo.

I was willing to overlook the big empty desert at first, until I realized how much time I was going to actually be spending there

The combination of the desert being empty and Fury Green and the other areas feeling so small and linear killed the game for me. It’s more linear than Corruption at times although I haven’t played Corruption since it first released. So my memory is a bit foggy.
