Review Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Phenomenal gameplay with so many awesome upgrades, abilities, and attacks
Absolutely astounding stage designs
Gorgeous environments and great characters

Intuitive gameplay controls
Challenging boss battles
Stunning visuals
Flawless performance
Intriguing story premise

Probablement le jeu Nintendo le plus beau à ce jour, avec des modes 4K/60 FPS et 1080p/120 FPS
La narration, directe et indirecte, qui enrichie encore plus le lore
Le mode souris des Joy-Con 2 est intuitif, fluide et s'intègre parfaitement au gameplay
L'atmosphère, l'exploration méthodique et le sentiment d'isolation de la série sont parfaitement respectés
Les pouvoirs psychiques enrichissent l?architecture des niveaux et les énigmes sans dénaturer l'expérience
Les contrôles sont précis, avec un gyroscope en portable bien implémenté
Bande-son atmosphérique et bruitages soignés
Absence de temps de chargement
Les boss, toujours des moments à part
Du late game bien pensé

Beautifully exotic, an ethereal atmosphere, like only the Metroid Prime series knows how to offer.
In the majority of the title, this wonderful feeling of isolation, exploration but also fear of what we are going to face.
Inspired artistic direction, giving personality and coherence to the game's image, covering a wide range of non-"next-gen" graphics.
The gameplay perfectly serves the objective of a game that is more focused on adventure and less on FPS, by making the player think, without handing everything to them on a silver platter.
Very good music, excellent sound quality.
Technically flawless and absolutely problem-free.
