A remaster of Metroid Prime
Get behind the visor of intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran in her critically-acclaimed first-person adventure. Step into the boots of Samus Aran as you navigate the winding paths and interconnected environments of an alluring-yet-dangerous alien planet. Use powers like the iconic Morph Ball and Grapple Beam to revisit hard-to-reach areas and find a path forward. With revamped graphics, sound, unlockable art, and updated control schemes, Samus’ 3D platforming debut has reached greater heights. Calm and capable, Samus takes on this solo mission...but she is far from alone.

It's the Metroid of all time.
The feeling of discovery and progression in the first half is great, with the world building and upgrade path being paced great. You discover new items/areas as you learn more!
The remaster improves fidelity and framerate which I really liked, but the audio and gameplay remain feeling older. Especially the heavy backtracking and spongy enemies make the second half of the game a little frustrating. Going into the game blind as well makes it frustrating when missing a single ledge or path that was the only way forward.
It is a legendary game for a reason, spawning a whole genre, but keep in mind these drawbacks!

Incredible gaming experience. I love Metroid, but since I didn't have a Gamecube, I had never had a chance to play this game. I am actually thankful for that, as I am still able to experience things like this for the first time, in higher quality graphics, at this stage in my life. Easy 10/10!
Metroid Prime has not aged a day. That is to say, Metroid Prime Remastered is just as annoying as Metroid Prime was in all the exact same places.
A complete lack of touch ups or re-works to the original in any significant manner may disappoint returning players (as it did me), but the truth is that Metroid Prime is still a contender for the best entry in the franchise, and possibly the greatest Metroidvania ever made. It shows absolute faith in the original product, and I believe that that was ultimately the right call.

While still being a good game it probably is a little bit overrated. This game is super tedious compared to the 2D games. Traversal and backtracking is so slow and the enemy respawn is very annoying. It gets a little old after a while. I much prefer the 2D games.
Great until the last stretch.
