Critic Reviews for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is an excellent, if relatively uneven, revival that reaches heights worthy of the Metroid name in its best moments.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is enjoyable enough, and has glimpses of vintage Metroid shining through, but this game could and should have been so much more.

Overall, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is worth the wait. The new story characters are not in any way overly chatty, and this is still the mysterious and moody alien treasure hunt Metroid fans have come to love, but now with a funky alien bike. I still rate the original Prime trilogy over this, but those games were pretty much faultless, whereas this is just thoroughly excellent.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers an excellent 3D Metroid experience that's even better on Switch 2. The game's graphics are a sight to behold throughout, but really shine in its dungeons, where the attention to detail and intricate level design keep you hooked. While the new overworld that connects them feels somewhat barren at times, traversing it via motorcycle helps break up the more slow-paced exploration of its dungeons. However, having to traverse an entire desert to install an upgrade can often feel tedious. Still, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a sight to behold that nails the core gameplay and combat of a 3D Metroid game. Check Amazon Check Walmart
