A Little Background (Without Spoilers):
For those living under a Chozo statue, Metroid Prime 4 is the long-awaited sequel to the beloved Metroid Prime trilogy. Taking place after the events of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the game sees Samus Aran, the galaxy’s most formidable bounty hunter, once again facing a universe teeming with danger. We can confirm that the game feels like a true successor, capturing the isolating atmosphere and exploration-focused gameplay that made the original Prime series so iconic.
