I’m just about to finish it and I think that’s really harsh score. I was thinking more like a seven. All the parts, apart from the desert are fantastic and I think it’s the second best Metroid prime in the whole series.

interesting to see that in docked mode the game is using a higher base resolution (1440p) and then downscaling it for the 1080p output resolution for Performance mode. Don't see that too often. Also means that the Switch 1 probably hampered a bit of this game unfortunately. Would love to see what a game built for the Switch 2 from the ground up would look like. Also nice to see that in handheld mode the game is running at full resolution at 60fps with no compromises (for Quality mode)
It's nice to see that there isn't a massive difference between Quality and Performance when it comes to things like draw distance, textures, etc. Performance mode still looks really good. I'll be playing on Quality though because it'll look amazing at 4K on my OLED.
Can't believe we are finally here after what felt like an eternity.
I will play Quality Mode for my first play through, I want to experience the game in full resolution first. Besides, 60 fps is still great. Then after NG+, I will try the 120fps.
Prime 4 is a premium experience on the Switch 2. It looks amazing and I am so excited to see what the next Prime game will be like.
