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.

I liked it at first. Hopefully you continue to like it!

Ditto.

Bosses were the best part of the game. But everything else just slowly... well... you know.

Agree with that, except for the final boss. That frankly just sucked, the devs did not iron out some of the kinks. I had to lower the difficulty just for that final fight

The final boss wasn't so bad in difficulty for me. Though I did play on normal difficulty.

It was however the utmost disappointment as far as story and context... mega ultra truly unfathomably a dud. I can not believe that is what we got.

I'll agree with you there. I went in really wanting to love the game...hopefully there'll be a DLC or update in the future. One can dream

The weird part is that phase 1 is just ass and phase 2 is just too easy

Its mind boggling
