About
Suit up for an iconic adventure
Intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran receives a distress signal from a wrecked frigate in orbit around planet Tallon IV. Upon investigation, the frigate reveals itself to be a Space Pirate research vessel home to terrifying genetic experiments using the mysterious Phazon substance. There, Samus encounters her nemesis, Meta Ridley, whom she pursues to the surface of Tallon IV. It’s up to her alone to explore the planet’s interconnected regions, investigate its dark secrets, and end the intergalactic threat posed by Phazon.
Experience this critically acclaimed first-person adventure like never before with remastered visuals, audio, controls, and more.

With Metroid Prime Remastered, the seemingly impossible has been achieved: a masterpiece has been made even better. The minor issues we have with the motion controls and the occasional visual hiccup pale in comparison to the enhancements that have been made here. The visual improvements are extensive, right through to the minor details, and it all comes together to create one of the best-looking games on Switch, remaster or not. The new twin-stick control setup works flawlessly for both veterans and newcomers, but if you're itching to go back to the original GameCube controls, that option is there too. With an expanded gallery feature to round things out, Metroid Prime Remastered feels like a new benchmark in how older games can be thoughtfully revitalised for the modern age.

It's not a perfect game, but damn it sure feels like it. Everything has been visualy overhauled in what I'd say is the prettiest Switch game to look at. Other than that, gameplay wise it's the same Metroid Prime, but the new dual stick controls somehow make the experience even better than it originally was. Not sure what else to say other than this is a MUST buy, at only $50 CAN nonetheless.
Pros: It's Metroid Prime, dual stick is a gamechanger, environments and effects look immaculate
Cons: The artifact hunt is still present, phazon mines is still annoying to get through, and uhhh... that's about all I can think of
10/10
