I'd say try it out, don't just assume some random reviewer is the source of truth on a game. Most people view Metroid Prime as an incredibly good game. But again, it's not halo. The point of the game is not to be a high action shooter. It's a first person exploration game with shooting. The combat is perfectly fine. Sometimes it is just taking out a few enemies easily, sometimes it's very intense and you get torn up. But it sounds like you are already trying to pre-judge it from a "it should be like halo/etc" perspective. Yeah the combat isn't gonna be as challenging and as constant as an action focused shooter because that's literally not Metroid's genre, but that in no way means the combat is not good and has no challenge. You mostly explore and find things and figure out how to get to new areas and get upgrades and take out enemies you see and occasionally there are intense battle sequences and big boss battles. That is Metroid's formula. Just don't expect to be having to blow away endless hordes of enemies, because it's a Metroid game, not an action shooter game. If you expect it to be Halo or CoD in a Metroid world you will be disappointed, and it sounds like that's what you want. It's Metroid. The combat isn't bad as you say you think it will be, but it's Metroid, so combat isn't the focus, it's just a fun part of the game. But if all you want is to fight hordes of enemies then Metroid is not a genre for you. Having played through Prime Remastered I can say the game holds up extremely well after 20 years. One of my favorite gaming experiences on the Switch. |
I'll give it a try soon.
