Game makers: take note. Metroid Prime Remastered is a masterclass in how to modernize a masterpiece. Twenty years after the series made the transition to 3D, this remains a classic that has stood the test of time. The updated visuals prove that with some optimization and visual tricks, the Switch is really capable of delivering great games. In fact, this is one of prettier – if not the prettiest –Switch games to date.

An excellent remaster of one of the best games of its generation, that looks and plays so well you could easily mistake it for a modern game.

Metroid Prime Remastered is an easy game to recommend to veterans and newbies alike. Atmosphere, environmental narrative, combat, puzzles, platforming. It does a little bit of everything, and it does it everything well, even by 2023 standards. Samus is the queen of the metroidvania genre and today she reminds us again why.

There was already a lot to appreciate about Metroid Prime on the GameCube, and on Nintendo Switch it works better than ever before. It feels much better to be able to play with regular joysticks, and the graphical upgrade makes the game one of the most impressive Switch launches yet.

While some elements of its design feel antiquated, stunning changes made to Metroid Prime's visual design, performance, and controls are enough to breathe new life into one of the greatest video games of all-time. Whether this is your first journey to Talon IV or a return trip, Metroid Prime Remastered is well worth your time and attention.

Metroid Prime Remastered is a faithful beat-for-beat recreation of the GameCube classic with a comprehensively polished visual makeover. It remains a solid adventure shooter, even if its straightforward approach to player progress is a little unexciting these days. I’ve certainly not hated my time with it, though I do hate its refusal to properly credit the team that worked on the original...Maybe it’s the industry’s attitude toward attribution that could use a remastering.

When it was released, the game was outstanding. Nowadays, it can’t be rated as highly, and it doesn’t really stand out in any aspect. Still, it’s a good remaster, faithful to the original.

honestly I would rate the game a 7/10. I just finished the game and it felt like a chore. waaay too much unnecessary backtracking and they don't even give u pins for the map so you have to rely completely on memory or just wonder around trying to remember where you saw that area that you couldn't access before and then you have to come back to the same area at least 5 times, and the more new areas u discover the more backtracking u have to do now. the enemies also weren't that interesting. It was a good game overall but the backtracking killed it for me. The sound track though is fantastic!

This game did not age well. Yes, you can see how all modern games draw inspiration from this design based on exploration.
Awful controls, no fast travel, ton of backtracking, MANUAL SAVING where you have to replay 2 hours if you forgot to save before a random boss fight. Absolute abysmal original sound design gets annoying after 15 minutes.

I did not have a great experience with this game. Didn't end up finishing because I found the backtracking to be tedious. However, the art style, atmosphere, music, and graphics were great. It's a well designed game with smooth controls and interface. Just not my cup of tea as is the case with most games of this style. Is definetly worth a try though!
