Metroid Prime needed to do something different, so it seems they went for a Ocarina of Time structure when it comes to exploration with a hub and area's attached to it. Or Wind Waker with the Great Sea is perhaps a better comparison. I like that, so will be looking forward to it.
The reason I say it needed to do something different is because else it will not have a chance to grow it's audience. Prime2 sales was less than half of the original only 2 years later on the same console. Prime3 sold only little more then Prime2 on a console that sold almost 5 times that of the GameCube. Even the Remaster is one of the few games re-released on the Switch that did not outsell the original.
Let's face it half of the original Prime audience loved it and are superfans, the other half did not return. Nintendo decided to sprinkle a bit of Zelda in the new entry to try to grow the audience. I can fully understand that. But it also means that reviewers are on the cuff about it with scores being all over the place.
