I was hoping for more than a cromulent 3D Metroid, but I’ll take it for what it sounds like it is.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond feels like a game stuck between two worlds. When it’s emulating the series’ past, Beyond is an entertaining, if overly conservative, sequel. However, as the shadowy corridors make way for open-world fetch quests, and Halo-style expeditions with AI companions, it’s left feeling like a diluted experience that doesn’t fully deliver on the spirit of earlier entries.
exactly what everyone was worried about. it sounds like it’s still worth playing but doesn’t reach the highs of the series, and those open world bike sections look boring and unnecessary

I’ve seen other reviews literally say it’s the best game all year.
I really wish people would chill. I don’t understand the doom and worry over an 8/10…

This is one of those series where a game that doesn’t do well can make sure you won’t see another entry for ten years.

I wouldn't worry. Dread was extremely well received, and set up a big plot hook for a continuation.

Its a Nintendo game. Of course some people are going to call it a 10/10 game of the year.
People said that about Zelda BotW, and then Tears came out and made all of those people look like idiots.

I have literally never once heard anyone call BotW anything other than a masterpiece. I’m sorry, really not trying to come for you, but I think it’s fucking nuts to call that game a 6/10.

Were you around when it released? There was a somewhat small but steady voice online that disliked the weapon degradation, lack of traditional dungeons, the small scale of what dungeons there were, and the clunkiness of the UI.
