I've heard alot of people saying the new game feels lacking, and plays "not like a Metroid" game.
That is basically what your saying as well. Ei. the series doesn't "feel" like it used to.

The game is now sitting at a 79 on metacritic, and that's mostly just because alot of reviewers are scared to give nintendo games bad scores.
"Its a metroid game, I have to give it a 10...!"

It doesn't review score as well as past games, and players don't seem as fond of it either (online talk).

It is a good game and I don't regret getting it but it's still the worse Prime game.
