I think he is absolutely 100% spot on, except for the distain. The game is good, but he is right it isn't Metroid. Metroid is about mapping out and connecting a planet's multiple paths. Prime 4 is a linear experience with a focus on gun fights. It is more like Halo than Metroid. It should have been called something other than Metroid. Still enjoyed it, once I stopped expecting Metroid because it isn't Metroid.
Oh and **** Nintendo for hiding desert music behind an Amiibo. That is gross and disgusting. Music would have helped the desert not feel so boring but I'm not paying $40 to get music. I have for a while, and will continue, to view Nintendo is the most anti-consumer game company other there. Like Mario 3D All Stars missing Galaxy 2 so they could sell it later + separately, which is bad. But it being a limited digital release, WTF? And for the love, where is WWHD and TPHD ports to the Switch? Oh right, not happening so they can lock the GC versions behind a subscription paywall. I love and hate Nintendo. Their games are good enough to keep me coming back for their top titles, but I also feel zero guilt in emulating their old stuff.
