With Metroid Prime Remastered, the seemingly impossible has been achieved: a masterpiece has been made even better. The minor issues we have with the motion controls and the occasional visual hiccup pale in comparison to the enhancements that have been made here. The visual improvements are extensive, right through to the minor details, and it all comes together to create one of the best-looking g...

Already a masterstroke of design and execution on original release, Metroid Prime Remastered goes one better in cementing Retro's debut Metroid outing as one of gaming's greatest evolutions of a series. Still as brilliant to replay all these years later, now with added customization and improved technical details that are unmatched on the Switch at present. It may not ease us of Prime 4's ongoing ...

As a whole, Metroid Prime Remastered is a reminder of Retro Studio's masterful game-making abilities, but also how great a 3D Metroid game can be. The present and future are both very clearly bright for the Metroid franchise down at that little studio in Austin, TX. After years of stagnation, the Metroid Prime series now feels fresher than ever.

Samus is back and looking better than ever. Of course, Nintendo’s iconic space bounty hunter had already graced the Switch with 2021’s superb Metroid Dread – but for many fans, Metroid Prime is the real deal. This was the game where she made her transition to 3D, and one which has never been bettered.

There, Samus encounters her nemesis, Meta Ridley, whom she pursues to the surface of Tallon IV. It’s up to her alon...

Metroid Prime Remastered is an amazing update to a classic game. Despite some remaining issues like clunky combat and platforming, the new control scheme and visual updates make this a must-play in the Switch’s library, even for those who didn’t enjoy the original. This is how you update a game for modern audiences.
