No offence, but it sounds like the game was too hard for you. I beat the whole game without Dark Suit and one energy tank. The final Dark Samus fight is pretty easy and is in no way unfair. I have never lost to it. All its attacks are pretty easy to avoid and you're given plenty of time to beat her/it.
There's also no reason why you should have to wait 2 minutes in every light beacon if you're collecting the Dark Suit and as many energy tank as possible. I don't even do that on a non-Dark Suit run... I almost never stand still in light beacons. Prime 2 is also very easy to understand and memorize. I recently replayed it for the first time in 6 years or so and never got lost once. You've probably not played the game enough to understand and memorize the map. Like me with Prime 1, though I don't blame the game for that. I collected the 9 Sky temple keys in half an hour, how's that for memorisation of the world map? That was after 6 years of not playing the game. It took me far longer to collect the Artifacts in Prime 1. (again, because I'm not experienced in that game).
I don't think you should blame the game if you're simply not good enough for it. Don't play hard games if you don't like hard games.
As for variety in Prime 1: you have your generic lava world and ice world next to some pretty uninspired/generic human looking ruins. A farcry from the Aztec-inspired ruins in Bryyo in Prime 3.

The game wasn't hard. I stopped in every light beacon because I cared about my energy, as any self-respecting player should. The final boss isn't unfair because her attacks are hard to dodge or whatever, but rather because the game does a TERRIBLE job of explaining (through either text or visuals) a desperate player how they're supposed to beat her.

"Morphology: Dark Samus. Unstable Phazon energy form. Target can generate shield immune to all forms of attack except Phazon energy. Draw in expelled Phazon for use as a weapon.
Dark Samus has temporarily become a being of pure yet unstable Phazon energy. She can generate a shield that is invulnerable to all attacks, save one -- blasts of Phazon energy itself. Use your Charge Beam to collect Phazon energy that she expels, then fire it back at her. Direct hits will overload and disrupt her essence."
They literally spell it out for you, what more do you want?
I hate how people unfairly treat MP2, sorry.
As for caring about energy like any self-respecting player should, I'm sorry but that's a load of bull and you know it. That's your choice to do that, you're restricting your fun with the game. I never have low energy when in the Dark World as the enemies are pretty weak and you're only there for short bursts of time. They're also very generous with health pickups.
