US EditionMetroid Prime 4 Beyond on Switch: This Was Worth Waiting For

- After an 18-year gap since Metroid Prime 3, Retro Studios faced high expectations for Metroid Prime 4's revival amid a rocky development cycle.

- The reviewer still recommends Prime 4 for Nintendo Switch 2 owners despite flaws, noting the Nintendo Switch 1 version is playable though visually downgraded and slower to load.
- Modern big-budget expectations limit the amount of player loneliness Metroid can now offer, and reviewers call Prime 4 an uneven revival that balances series tone: solitude versus chatter across its roughly 15-hour runtime.
