Metroid Prime Remastered (2023)

I loved about 75% of this game–the exploration and gradual increase in your powers is deeply satisfying, and the smoothness of movement and jumping is a pleasure. What brings it down for me are the bosses and the odd section where the difficulty spiked and it wasn’t clear how I should fight certain enemies. I resorted to walkthroughs a number of times to avoid wasting long chunks of time flailing around not knowing how to do damage. It’s a good game, but I’m not desperately waiting for Remastered 2 or Prime 4. ★★★★☆
