FANTASTIC game. i never played the original prime, so remastered is my first experience with the prime series, and GOD i had a good time.
the gameplay feels tight and satisfying, the graphics and music are great, and the game's consideration of small details about the world (like the biology of EVERY ENEMY) made the world of tallon iv feel like a living ecosystem. the overall design of prime as a game is really well done.
it's not perfect, i think fast travel would've been a really nice qol feature due to backtracking being tedious at times (ahem, magmoor), the static effect from some electrical enemies would honestly cause me some sensory issues (ESPECIALLY in those narrow caves with sentry drones in the research headquarters, where it felt like you literally couldn't make enough space to avoid the static), and there's a couple other small issues. but holy shit, this game blew me away.
glad to see metroid has been getting more love recently with both dread and remastered. definitely interested in playing prime 2 and 3 now.
