I really love this game! Just can’t stop fighting bots, so satisfying! And that they had a demo made me pre-order. Amazing to play something like this in handheld mode, wow! Now I consider trying Resident evil requiem after 100% in Pragmata
I like that there are more additions to the single player game than previously revealed. The bosses you need to find look nice, the new power up and the new badge system sound really nice on top of the challenges! Yes, I do not like the price of it, but there is some really nice stuff in there... I need to think about it...
ps: the new assist mode is really nice when playing with kids. They want to choose their character but are not good enough to get to the end of the level
Yes I know Ubisoft is not a great company. But, this games takes me back to such fond memories… Playing this of DOS…drawing Rayman at school… And there is a physical release on switch. I already preordered. Feel dirty and happy at the same time…
Really interesting that they expand on such an old game. Really loved D2 when I was a wee lad! But for that price you can almost get Hades2, Absolum, Silksong... Also I do not feel like spoiling my memories for that amount of money
@Otimus yes this is exactly how I feel! Went in with zero interest, came out really enthusiastic! Playing the demo a second time right now 🥳 Enjoying this surprise game
@Ganner I am playing Galaxy 1 for the first time, it is so good! I am looking forward to Galaxy 2, you make it sound really good! I was not allowed to play MK when I was a wee lad, maybe I should try it now I have my own credit card 😈
I am happy that most of the games are not interesting to me, since I have plenty to play as is Pragmata really made a case for itself though, especially after playing the demo. I am getting interested in that title! (Elliot is also looking nice btw)
This game was not on my radar, but the demo was great to play, smooth and interesting! I love proper physical releases so the key card is a bummer. If there was a proper release I might have bought it day one. Now I wait and see for the reviews and a possibly for a sale.
I was hoping for some more levels in this crazy game. This is a bit thin for 20bucks I think. But I love this game so much, so I will get it :S The Toad brigade and koopalings sound like fun!
I dont feel like Prime 4 today and with 90hours I am somewhat ok with Hades 2 for now. So it is back to my favorite of 2025: Absolum! Also just received the soundtrack of Absolum on vinyl, so will be rocking those tunes as well
I played the game for about 7h or so and stopped. There were good bits of Metroid in this game but most of the stuff I did not enjoy, or found really annoying, like Miles and the other NPCs. With games like Hades2 and Absolum I have plenty to enjoy en I will finish MP4 later.
Nice article, loved reading about your passion! Not a big Marvel fan myself (really love X men though), but a big beat m up fan, looking forward to playing this game when the physical comes out
I would guess the low reviews of both critics/players and the high price tag puts people off. I would also pass on a game this expensive if I was not a big fan. Well, to be honest, after playing it I would also advise people to pass if they are not big fans. For a lower price one can get great games like Hades2, Silksong, Absolum, etc...
@Aswannsong haha a bit harsh but I agree I don’t and just can’t watch marvel films. And the more I see from MP4 the less excited I am. I actually cancelled my preorder today because I want to see what this is all about before buying. When some of you play the game at launch, let me know how it is!
I am not sold on the bike yet. I am a huge Metroid fan, but I have a weird feeling with MP4, it must surely be great, but I will see and play it first. If so, I will get this amiibo asap
Thanks for the great review! I was already looking forward to this one. Bought it and already had a great evening with this game, i am hooked! Smooth combat, interesting moves, really tough but also addictive, nice!
The midlife crisis bike, the open desserts, the squad fighting in the earlier trailers. Nothing makes me excited since none of it feels very metroid to me. But still I think this can be a banger of a game, retro has done it before multiple times! Lets wait untill we have the game in our consoles!
Somehow I was meh about the midlifecrisis bike for Samus and I do not see the openworld working. But I was excited for this super cute and relaxing Yoshi game. Haha, did not see that coming. I like the Wonder s2 edition and the Galaxy games, but prices are a bit too high to buy them right away. Maybe later, maybe never, ill see. First MP4 this December, I am curious how it will be!
Hmm a nine from nintendolife for both kirby and bananza…? For me those games are at a different level. I would agree more with ign‘s reviews for both these games.
Would have been nice if there was room for an exception this year, with stricter enforcement next year. Kind of a transition so to say. This makes nintendo look really bad in my eyes. I love speed running and how it is often tied to charity and enjoyement of games to the max!
Nothing really, out of lack of time I plan not to get excited about mor than I already am. I am enjoying Bananza too much and as always playing Dread. If I have time I would like to play super metroid again. So, I am good until Prime 4 launches and then I will dig into that like a mad man
@larryisaman yea bananza is great right? Also surpassed odyssey for me! I finished the main part two days ago and now I am still playing Just a great game to spend my time in and enjoy some bananas

Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
