@StarPoint Most of your impressions on Metroid Prime Trilogy match mine; I played through all three over the span of a year back in...2017 or 2018, hard to recall which. If I were to rank them though, I'd shuffle the first game and Corruption around. It's true that the latter is more linear in comparison, but the music (especially the themes for Bryyo and Rundas), character variety, planet variety, and boss fights ever so slightly give it the edge over Prime 1 in my book. All three games are pretty awesome in their own right. If the rumored Switch remake is genuine, I'd certainly buy them again. Mainly to have them in physical format since I obtained MPT through the Wii U eShop.
@Maximumbeans This one is in my backlog too. My hope is to get to it within the next few months. [Insert "Tyranexx says this about a lot of games" disclaimer here]

120%ed Spyro the Dragon recently. The PC remake that's part of the Reignited Trilogy, that is. Really brilliant update that preserves the feel of the original while modernizing the controls and presentation.
It's more simplistic than some of the sequels, but that's the main reason it's my favorite. It's a game I can comfortably beat in a single evening, and each level is pretty reasonably paced.
Also beat Intelligent Qube on the PS1 for the first time without any deaths. Once you figure out how to get past that level 7 hump, you become a much better player.
@StarPoint I don't buy games day 1 too often - I prefer to wait for discounts and not grab too many new games at once - unless it's a franchise I'm really into or a game I'm extremely excited about. Metroid Prime Trilogy definitely fits the bill.
@BruceCM It's not as bad as many; I've read some have hundreds, if not thousands...mostly thanks to digital store fronts like Steam and GOG. The problem is I like JRPGs too much. At least I dumped MMOs some time ago.

Back to XC2, then, @NintendoByNature .... ? I don't keep track of my 'backlog', @Tyranexx! I do own over 2700 games on Steam, though & obviously haven't played half of those at least
recently beat the first ori, the blind forest. IMMENSELY frustrating precision platformer more than it was metroidvania. finished it and deleted it. Will of the Wisp was far better

To be fair, I did reorganize my backlog list recently to sort by priority and then platform (I previously just went by the latter), so my true "backlog" is shorter than before. I'm also trying to be less of a completionist.
