We gave the remaster a 10\/10 in our review, with Sam Claiborn writing, \u201cThis updated version goes above and beyond the typical coat-of-paint remaster by adding modern controls along with fabulously improved models and textures \u2013 it\u2019s a perfect example of how to both honor a lauded classic and bring it up to code.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I completely agree with that assessment. Despite loving Super Metroid on SNES and the 2D handheld follow-ups, I never actually played Metroid Prime until this remaster came out \u2013 and it quickly became one of my favorite games in the series. Thanks to Nintendo\u2019s upgrades, it feels almost indistinguishable from a modern release. It\u2019s an absolutely killer FPS game that takes everything that makes 2D Metroid games great (the giant bosses, the lonely atmosphere, progress that\u2019s gated until you get an upgrade, etc.) and blows it up into 3D. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It really is one of the best first-person shooters ever made. It\u2019s incredibly fun to play, even in the 2020s. The only real quibble I had with it was the lack of fast travel, which is a choice some game developers still make these days. I also had trouble finding all the Chozo artifacts on my own and ended up using our guide to locate the ones I\u2019d missed before heading to the finale. But overall, this game is an absolute joy from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If, like me, you were somewhat disappointed by Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, I\u2019d bet good money you\u2019ll like this one better. If you\u2019re looking forward to Metroid Ravenous, this remaster will help hold you over until it comes out next year.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Those who prefer their games to come on cartridges can save money on tons of physical Switch games as well \u2014 just not Metroid Prime Remastered, unfortunately. But plenty of other Metroid games do make the cut.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-4218469134 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Chris Reed Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oyster.ignimgs.com\/social\/avatars\/users2\/12\/6078782-1585678621.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/oyster.ignimgs.com\/social\/avatars\/users2\/12\/6078782-1585678621.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><span class=\"stack jsx-2959124702 jsx-702910195 author-sign-off-header\"><\/p>\n<p>Chris Reed<\/p>\n<p>Senior Commerce Editor<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-1220387432\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Chris Reed is a senior commerce editor and deals expert for IGN.
