What a game.

Even though i haven't played all the metroid game yet, I think I can still confidently say that this...is the peak of the franchise.

The original managed to make the perfect conversion of a metroid game in the 3rd dimensions...and this remaster... basically keep every great about the original, but wrap everything with a gorgeous overall of the visual...to the point that I can't consider this game a simple remaster...It's a straight up remake.

This games world...is just incredible to explore. Every corner of it feels natural and yet so well design with dozens of things to discover or to come back to later on in the game with new abilities or knowledge to master this incredible masterclass of a world design.

Samus just feel great to control. Aside for some weird but extremely rare problem with the physics, this game makes controlling her so immersive and satisfying to boot. And every single ability you unlock are useful in their own way: between the graplin hook or the gravity ball that allow you more freedom to explore the world, the various weapon with theirs pros and cons, the different kind of vision you can use for puzzle or even in combat to spot certain enemy...this game has it all.

Also, unlike metroid prime 3 (that I also loved btw), this game give you so much more freedom about how you will explore this world. As soon as you unlock one ability, 3 doors opens, and each door will leads you to other doors that may or may not great you reserve or new ability for you to play with.

And the bossfight are fantastic, and the music immersive and yet memorable at the same time. And the enemy variety is great and god, this game is just fantastic.

Ultimately, it still have some issue, like the not always satisfying hunt for the artifact, or the rather simple enemy encounter that, while fun, can be kinda tedious sometimes, but other than that, this game is flawless.

And If this serv has some kind of teaser for metroid prime 4...omg...
