Nintendo's highly anticipated sci-fi epic, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, has finally landed on the Nintendo Switch after an eight-year development journey. Fans of the iconic series, which has been thrilling gamers since 1986, can now immerse themselves in the latest installment, taking on the role of space bounty hunter Samus Aran. This new chapter in the Metroid saga builds upon the first-person action-adventure format introduced in 2002's Metroid Prime. Players will explore a distant planet on foot or by motorbike, navigating through treacherous jungles and deserts in Samus's iconic armoured suit. The game features an innovative control system, allowing players to use the detachable controller handset like a computer mouse to enhance their experience. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has received widespread critical acclaim, with a Metacritic score of 81 out of 100 based on 71 reviews. This positive reception is a welcome relief for Nintendo, which restarted development from scratch in 2019 after the initial title failed to meet their standards. Retro Studios, the US-based development house behind the first three Metroid Prime titles, took over the project, bringing their expertise to the table. The years of anticipation have made Metroid Prime 4: Beyond a highly anticipated title, joining the ranks of other long-awaited games like Half-Life 3 and Beyond Good and Evil 2.
