VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “After an eight-year wait, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is finally here. While it’s inferior to the three games in the original Prime trilogy and also recent entries like Metroid Dread, it remains a rock-solid action-adventure game that at times flirts with greatness. The moment-to-moment action is thrilling, the boss battles are among the best in the entire Metroid canon, the art direction and music are exceptionally good, and the technical performance impressive. With more complex and interesting levels, and fewer distractions and half-measures, it could have been a Game of the Year contender. Hopefully Retro will nail the next one.”
