Overview
- The first main Prime entry since 2007 is out on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, marking Samus Aran’s return to the series’ first-person exploration formula.
- Aggregators place the reception at roughly 80 on Metacritic, with outlets highlighting striking visuals, immersive world design, and inventive encounters.
- New psychic abilities such as the Control Beam and Psychic Glove add puzzle and combat twists, while core scanning and backtracking remain intact.
- Critiques repeatedly target the sparse desert overworld and Vi-O-La motorbike segments as underused or tedious, alongside weak supporting characters and chatter.
- Switch 2 impressions note higher-end options, with one outlet reporting a performance mode at 1080p and 120fps.
