Deeply wanted to love Metroid Prime 4 more than the game would let me. Every time I felt like I could get excited by something, it let the air out of the balloon for me. Decently fun, but not at all fulfilling in the way that it needed to be.
"The more I let Metroid Prime 4 be what it wants to be, it's pretty good at that. It's not amazing at it. It's not doing anything new.

If you're looking for more exploration, this isn't the game for you."
