The difference in time-space flow between Metroid Prime 4 and Sektori couldn’t be greater. Just reflecting on two games I’ve been playing this week

I beat the first level finally. Once. Getting to the point where I can sense things beyond my cone of vision. Good use of motion style for peripheral awareness of power ups
