Metroid Prime Remastered

Revisiting Samus Aran’s GameCube debut on Switch is delightful, because it shows just how timeless the original Metroid Prime was when it launched in 2002. The modern tweaks added in the Switch remaster do a lot to modernize the control schemes of the first-person action-adventure game, but beyond those and some visual polish, much of Metroid Prime Remastered remains the same. Even with its 21st anniversary coming up, Metroid Prime shines with its excellent design and atmosphere, and now that it controls more like a modern action game, it feels better than ever to play this classic adventure on your Switch.

A Good Match For: Anyone who wants an atmospheric, sci-fi adventure game with light horror elements

Not A Good Match For: Side scroller purists
