I must say— this game has to be one of the most “you either love it or hate it” kind of games I’ve ever seen. I’ve heard many call MP4:Beyond a mediocre 5/10 mess (and most of these people I can tell are genuine Metroid fans judging by their critiques); I’ve also heard many praise this entry as being worthy of the Metroid Prime label, with some even calling it the best in the franchise. It sits with a highly polarized User Score across different sites (high on MC, not as high on HLTB nor Backloggd).
The consensus is clear: MP4:Beyond is a compromised experience. How impactful these compromises are on your personal enjoyment, however, varies radically from person-to-person.
Not even M&L:Brothership was this divided. I don’t like saying this… but it seems a lot closer to discourse surrounding PM:Color Splash or The Origami King, where you’ll have some “die on a hill” for the game, but a majority left feeling very disappointed.
