Writing a Metroid Prime 4 Beyond review in 2025 honestly feels a bit surreal. After years of delays, a full development reboot, and the jump to new hardware, Samus\u2019s latest outing finally lands as a first-person adventure that, at its best, recaptures the moody, exploratory magic of the original Prime trilogy. Viewros is dense, strange, and rewarding to pick apart, and when you\u2019re alone with your visor and a half-lit corridor, it feels like Metroid is truly back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The catch is that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond also wraps that core in modern design decisions that don\u2019t always help. A talkative companion, a bike-focused hub that overstays its welcome, and amiibo-locked extras sit on top of an otherwise excellent structure. The result is a game that\u2019s often fantastic when it trusts itself \u2014 and occasionally frustrating when it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
