YouTube video by Back Log Banter How Metroid Prime 4 Fails

Our insanely in depth Metroid Prime 4 review is here. @abrambuehner.bsky.social absolutely adored it, while I found little to love about it.

I promise you won’t find a deeper analysis of all things Prime 4 anywhere else- no matter your thoughts on the game, this is for you.

Simogo legacy collection on switch 2!

Device 6 is a masterpiece from the fine gents @simogo.com.

Its unique presentation still hasn’t been replicated a decade later, and its clever use of device rotation makes it one of the most engaging mobile experiences I’ve had.

And the puzzles are just my speed… here are the notes I took.

I finished Metroid prime 4.

An absolute mess of a game that does very little confidently, instead opting for a jumbled mess of half baked ideas that diffuse its own identity. Lots to say about this one.

To say I’m disappointed would be a major understatement.

No, I could never finish Prime 1 after 3 times trying it. I did finish 4 though, for what it’s worth!

THATS MY DEV DIVE ALUMNUS RIGHT THERE

Holy shit I need to play this

Go take your whimsy pills

Which Prime 4 area has been your favorite so far??

Halo Level
Plant corridor
Arizona
Abandoned factory (lectricity)
Abandoned factory (cold)
Abandoned factory (hot)

Animal Crossing New Horizons is right there ????

Does this individual perchance kill monsters

It’s definitely too fast and confusing imo. I feel like I have very little control over what I’m doing in city trial, which leads to it feeling vapid and aimless

Reserving full judgement for once I’ve seen it through!!

I genuinely can’t play this game for more than 30 minutes without feeling aggravated and bored. Super stumped by this one, I think it’s one bungled design decision after another.

I’m sure Prime 4 is a great game when you don’t have me in my ear telling me it sucks

3 hours in, Prime 4 is truly awful. It’s all the slow, clunky, dry, tedious and confusing parts of Prime 1, but without the exploration (so far).

Reserving full judgement for when I’ve gotten further in the game. These are early impressions.

Terri I recorded this in March I've been cooking this for a year almost

You have insane taste actually though this is my shit

Over the weekend, I played through TWO games by @thechineseroom.co.uk, and really truly enjoyed them both. Their skill in environmental storytelling, atmosphere, sound design and music create tense and immersive games that few teams match. Go play Still Wakes the Deep and Amnesia A Machine for Pigs!

HEY! YOU! Did you see I interviewed @mergeconflictstudio.com about GEMPORIUM??

FIVE whole people making ONE cute game, and this is the full, unfiltered story- brimming with truly indie game heart.
