18 years after Metroid Prime 3 launched and eight years after the sequel was first announced, Nintendo and Rare have finally finished Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The long-awaited follow-up arrives later this week on Switch and Switch 2. And on December 2, ahead of release, reviews from critics went live across multiple outlets. In summary, Prime 4 isn’t a bad game. But it doesn’t sound like a masterpiece either, falling short of past entries in the first-person shooter series.
