The introduction of Ridley as the villain is excellent here, and he makes a perfect foil for Samus to battle. Learning about the world of Tallon IV and what wiped out the race that originally was really interesting, the world-building as a whole was quite well done. The relatively standard trope of a hero losing their powers and slowly regaining them is present here, but the story written around it helps keep it from feeling stale.
The story throughout the game isn’t necessarily revolutionary, but that doesn’t stop it from being intriguing. It doesn’t actually feel like a tutorial, which is an impressive balance to find. I love the way it also introduces the game mechanics during this introductory section without watering down the actual story. It’s a brilliant tone-setter that lets players know to buckle up for a wild ride. The story starts right off the bat with Samus answering a distress signal only to find that the Space Pirate crew had been brutally killed by their own scientific monstrosities. Metroid Prime Remastered pits Samus against the Space Pirates on the planet Tallon IV. With Metroid Prime Remastered, that same revolutionary feeling hit me almost immediately after the introduction cinematic as it did all those years ago. No longer stuck in the world of 3D, Metroid Prime helped lead the charge of 3D first-person shooters. When Metroid Prime was first released in 2002, it was a game changer for the Metroid franchise. Released as a surprise announcement during February 2023’s Nintendo Direct, Metroid Prime Remastered from Retro Studios gives a fresh coat of paint to one of the greatest action-adventure games of all time.
