I love this game so much. The gameplay is amazing. Each level is a new experience. I cannot imagine how much R&D went into this game. So many different mecanics and surprises. Absolutely no repetition. I never go bored once. Challenge is there, especially because postend game is even longer than the game itself. At a time where I find most game repetitive with predictible gameplay looos, this one is so fresh. And it also look charming (but not perfect: creatures are beautiful but I dont like the backgrounds). Music stages are so fun to play.

I was not thrilled by the first previews but endend up buying the game because of the last ones. And I love it. It is charming, intelligent, totally different from any game I've played before (which has become so rare, I am 45). There is a ton of content, I am impressed at how many discoveries and little challenges there are in each level. Also, it is not easy. At all. But the difficulty is about exploration, combining elements, thinking out of the box. It is definitely not a platformer, although some discoveries require some good platforming skills. So I give it a 9 and I am very surprised by the low score given here. For me it is one of the best game I have played this year. And I am having much more fun than with bananza or (arggggh that awful) metroid. So I think it is not a game for kids, more from grown ups with a taste for nature, biodiversity, and wonder.

@Steelninja Oh yes I am, I played the previous prime and also many other games from the metroid series. But this time each upgrade is not used to reveal new portions of the world. Once you have cleared a zone, going back is only used to burn or bomb a wall to get the upgrade hiding in plain sight behind. The is no intricate design where new areas, shorcuts or convenient save point appear. The back tracking felt totally unnatural. For instance #spoiler# get to the ice area, oh no a frozen door, get to the fire area for a fire chip, then to the forest to get it equiped, then to the ice area again... All by traversing the desert 3 times. This is backtracking indeed. But very bad one. My mistake.

I stopped playing the game after the third (ice) biome. I thought the first two areas were tutorials but after getting the third key I realized all I would get is a fully linear fps with bad forced back tracking. Ok it looks good but then I started playing AC Shadows and ... Wow. This is what good looking means. Plus it's fun to play, challenging, not linear at all. So I never thought I would say that but thanks Ubi for making me enjoy my Switch 2. I am really worried about Nintendo's ability to produce AAA games for the Switch 2 generation.

After something like 6h in I must say I am very disappointed. It is just 'ok'. Extremely linear with no feeling of getting lost or discovering hidden paths. The structure with 6 keys just tells you in advance how predictable it's going to be (I have 2 keys already). The save akd checkpoint system is from another age. Then the shooting is fine. Bosses are fun so far. But really far worse than the previous ones event Prime 1.

It would be a great frame for a new open world animal crossing game!

Has anyone managed to get a refund? The game cashes constantly. How could this be highlighted in the direct? Clearly unfinished.

I don't understand all the hate. This game scored 7/10 on here. And I had fun and laughed a lot playing through it. (Maybe being a gay boy helps) 😂
