About 1 hour in, I've beaten the jungle area boss and gotten the first key. The nerd NPC doesn't really bother me so far. The game is gorgeous in 4k. The controls work well, though I think the Wiimote remains the gold standard for the Prime series. The new psychic powers are interesting so far. The level design has been very 'Metroid Prime' so far. One concern I have is that the percentages I have for the items and especially scanning are really high for having only played 1 hour and how little it seems like I've gotten. The scanning is already at 24% complete and I haven't even left the first area yet.
So overall I really enjoyed the first hour, but outside of the visuals it hasn't blown me away since it's been more of the same.
