i think we as a society need to come together and admit that metroid prime isnt that good. its bosses are trivial and tedious, its backtracking is far worse than any other metroid game up to that point. its got that chunk of padding where you gotta collect the chozo artifacts thats like the wind waker triforce shard hunt but even worse. and the final boss is so goddamn boring. bosses where all you gotta do is wait for minutes on end until it does the one thing that can make it vulnerable because its completely immune to all of your attacks unless you stand in a pool of phazon that he himself spawns is just bad boss design. it takes the worst elements of nintendo bosses and cranks it up to 11.

I won’t pretend that some of how favorably I view Metroid Prime Remastered comes down to it feeding into the nostalgia...

I do agree with some of the backtracking issue, but I think that's mainly due to Samus handling tankier than in the 2D...

I’d never played a first-person game before (other than Pokémon Snap, which is on rails), and it was just so hard to tell where I was in relation to the world while jumping and such that it was too much to process. And I don’t think I’ve played a first person game since (other than New Pokémon Snap, which is still on rails)~
