Definitely play this on Quality Mode rather than Performance. It still runs in 60 FPS and looks WAY nicer. Ridiculously good-looking game.

Probably the best-looking game ever published by Nintendo. The graphical fidelity actually looks modern and the art direction is great too.

...most of the time anyway. The tower at the beginning of the game looks exactly like a giant vagina, anyone notice that?

Really enjoying the game thus far. Game is beautiful. I know there is better but something about the environment and the color choices that really makes this game aesthetically pleasing.

Some reviews say not enough encounters and some say not enough puzzles. Personally I think there are some “empty” moments but only because I think I’m used to other FPS games just being crazy chaotic but it’s so cool to look around it doesn’t bother me.

Still pretty early but it’s made me really appreciate buying the Switch 2 if nothing else.

They all sit in the timeline of after Super Metroid, but years before Other: M , and Fusion sits years after Other:M

The timeline goes:

Metroid > Metroid Prime series (all of them) > Metroid 2 > Super Metroid > Metroid Other M > Metroid Fusion > Metroid Dread

The only real reason to have the Metroid Primes all set before Metroid 2 was so they could bring back Metroids as an antagonist (since they get eradicated in Metroid 2, outside of the one survivor and later Federation clones or whatever)... and for whatever reason they forgot this after the first Metroid Prime because that sub-series hasn't done ANYTHING with Metroids. Hoping maybe Prime 4 will have some Metroids. Maybe even some of the woefully-underutilized evolved ones.

IIRC- metroids only “evolve” past the floating blob style on their home planet. There are variants and sizes but the different “types” are only able to evolve or grow on that one planet…because reasons.
