Metroid Prime Remastered Review

Metroid Prime Remastered reviewed by Samuel Claiborn on Nintendo Switch.

Metroid Prime has been one of my favorite games for decades, but I’m still shocked that its bones are so strong. 21 years later, in 2023, Metroid Prime Remastered had to do so little beyond modernizing the controls and updating the graphics to become one of the best games you can buy once again. This ultimate solo mission is a respite from the noise of hint-giving companions and lengthy cinematic cutscenes that make up much of today’s single-player games. Those things have their place, but Metroid Prime Remastered shows that you can tell a story and create a grand adventure by building an amazing world and creating unique and fun tools to explore it with. I strongly encourage you to delve into Metroid Prime Remastered, and get lost.

This game is honestly such genuine and heartfelt gift for Nintendo fans.

This game made me a Metroid fan. Simply amazing experience.

The unmatchable atmosphere, ethereal music that sounds like it was made by aliens, crazy and beautifully designed creatures, silent narrative that is so refreshing. This game throws you into an alien planet and doesn’t let go, a true timeless classic.

The Remastered is an improvement upon perfection
Truly a Deserved 10/10

[teamtim]

A true classic and example of how a 21 year old game eclipses today's halfbaked releases.

100% deserves a 10. Still as great as the day it came out.

Easily one of the greatest games ever made. A true masterpiece!

Metroid Prime has been my favorite game for 20+ years. It still amazes me how great it is!

The intro track to this game played throughout the review still to this day.. 20 years later.. sends chills down my spine. This is a dream come true.

This series is why you can never count Nintendo out. This game is a masterpiece. Retro Studios and Nintendo know how to make a game.

With how great this and the Dead Space remake are and RE4 remake coming out too, this is looking like the year of the remake.

For those who like adventure games and are not really into FPS game: don't sleep on this masterpiece. It's not a traditional FPS campaign, it's an adventure metroidvania game in first person view. It's a unique experience and one of the top games ever made.

The modern graphics complement the environments amazingly. Its unreal how much detail and lore is stuffed into every area and makes it actually feel like a real place with real a history and ecosystem.

This is what a 10 is for a game. This game is simply perfection : gameplay, atmosphere, graphics, sound, music… And to still be one of the best game ever 2 decades later is nearly unheard of. Pick ANY from that era, they just don’t stand the rest of time ( even the incredible RE4 is dated in some aspects ).

Scrolled to end of the review to see a 10/10 score with the reviewer telling me to get lost.

Couldn’t have been more satisfied!

[philatio]

Honestly, the game looks beyond incredible for the Switch. The lighting, the textures and the models are leagues ahead of what the somewhat aging tech of the Switch is offering.

Retro studios are wizards, genuinely looks like an early-mid PS4 game and the fact that it runs so WELL is amazing too.

[spiderdude]

One of the best remakes ever. Everything meshes together perfectly. An improvement for already incredible game.

[Dark-ujjq]

You know a game is one of the best ever made when you can play it again for the 10th time and not only still find new things out about the world but also have it be as satisfying as it was on the first playthrough.

[lordmango]

This game and Fusion put me on to the Metroid series and Metroidvanias as a whole. Couldn't be more grateful

A testament on how awesome the Metroid series is
