This game is soooo weird, but somehow makes so much sense?? Why wouldn’t Samus be a pinball lol

I grew up playing the free pinball game on older windows computers so I’m somewhat fond of it. Slap on some Metroid paint and I’m completely bought in. They really nailed the areas, the music is fantastic, and the mini games you unlock while playing are pretty fun and in line with what Prime is all about.

The best part about this game is that they somehow make in all boss fights a thing, and it works! It’s super fun to fight the bosses from Metroid Prime in this strange way, and I look forward to each time I advance to one of their stages.

I haven’t “beaten” the game yet, but I can see myself becoming addicted to the point where I have to. It’s just a matter of having a good enough run to collect 12 artifacts (just like in MP!)

I feel kinda bad giving this game a 2.5 after all the things I just said about it, but at the end of the day it’s pinball. A super weird, super awesome Metroid version, but pinball nonetheless. I personally find this to be a great game to pick up and play whenever you’re bored or just want to play a mindless game pretty quick, and as far as pinball goes it’s the best version I’ve ever played, but I can’t say I’d recommend to everyone.
