Metroid Prime is one of the greatest games ever made. The pacing, drip-feeding you items at just the right speed, is immaculate, the world design is a true evolution of Super Metroid in the third dimension, the immersion and atmosphere are both amazing, the controls, although strange by modern sensibilities, fit this game perfectly. There is only one criticism I can come up with and that is the fetch quest near the end of the game. It feels pretty padded out. Overall, recommended to everyone.
This one didn't really hit for me. Great looking, good story, but boring gameplay. I think the old GoW had much more variety, more exciting battles, deeper gameplay, and a much better pace. Thinking back on what stuck out to me about GoW 2018 and I can't think of much. The first battle with the stranger sets the tone extremely well but there's nothing that ever lives up to that again. Fighting the same troll 6 different times, all counting as a boss, is not my idea of memorable. This game may just not be for me.
I like Darksiders, but don't love it. It's got all the pieces, but they don't quite come together cohesively. It apes Zelda, Metroid, and God of War, but in trying to be so broad, it doesn't do any one particular thing as well as those. It's combat is decent, but lacks impact, opposite of God of War's simple yet punchy combat. It has a pretty good overworld with a cool aesthetic, but not nearly as fun to explore as Zelda or Metroid games. It's definitely a fun romp for fans of the genre.
