Metroid Prime

Metroid Prime blew away all expectations at launch, becoming one of the highest-rated games of the year and one of the Nintendo GameCube’s high-selling titles. Despite taking some time to get used to the controls, it truly embodied the Metroid Prime spirit while delivering its own compelling gameplay, progression and epic boss fights. Such is the brilliance of its design that even the recently released remaster for Nintendo Switch is one of the highest-rated games of this year. Will it help push Metroid Prime 4 closer to completion? We can only hope.
