Metroid Prime has precisely the atmosphere and terror that I want to expect from a Metroid game, this time amplified incredibly by merely being a first person shooter. I loved wandering into new areas and seeing all the new environments behind every elevator, especially Phendrana i fucking love ice worlds
There's something about seeing through the perspective of Samus herself, instead of the usual camera behind the fourth wall, that makes everything feel that much more real, and it gives the player so much more space to maneuver around in during combat as well.

I mighta gotten lost several times, but I would soon realize that a good amount of those times were just me being a dumbass. Phazon Mines were still ridiculous, though. I can live without every room being filled with like 6 space pirates.

Every boss was fun to learn, every area was pretty to look at, kinda shockingly so for the Switch, I liked this one a lot. I didn't really have all too many gripes with the backtracking, weirdly enough. Obviously it can get sorta tedious walking through the same rooms so many times, but it never got to me outside of phazon mines :(

74% completion in 17h 34m, looking forward to the next 2 Prime games but I'm probably still playing Dread next.
