Review

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond manages to deliver a visually captivating experience that feels rooted in the beloved legacy of the Metroid franchise. However, it tends to play it safe, offering a linear gameplay structure that may not satisfy those seeking the unpredictability of prior entries. While the new psychic abilities add a fresh twist, certain areas feel underexplored and the game’s pacing can be disrupted by the hand-holding elements. The stunning graphics and atmospheric design alone make it a worthwhile experience, though it doesn't quite reach the heights set by its predecessors.

Reviewers have highlighted the stunning visuals and solid gameplay mechanics, but have pointed out flaws in linearity and some narrative pacing issues. While some praise it as one of the best titles for the Switch 2, others view it as a weaker entry in the series, struggling under the weight of high expectations.
