Nintendo-Town
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
La prise en main du Joy-Con 2 en mode souris peut être inconfortable pour les grandes mains sur de longues sessions
Personnages secondaires parfois trop bavards ou Captain Obvious
La multiplicité des boutons et des modes (visière, pouvoirs) demande un temps d'adaptation
Le système de sauvegarde vieillot

GameOver
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.
The "Sol Valley" hub, which includes the Viola motorcycle section - although commendable efforts have been made to give it meaning - offers nothing substantial.
Retro Studios' choice to require the player to complete a lengthy collection/quest search before Act 3 is unacceptable. This deals a heavy blow to the flow of the game.

Games.ch
An attractive mix of first-person shooter, puzzle, and platform game.
Several skills and cool gadgets
Great boss battles
Various fields of application
First-class music and good sound effects
Elegant graphics, although not exceptional, on Switch 2
Different control variations, all working well (including mouse function)
Linear kernel
Individual bosses can potentially be a bit too difficult compared to the rest.

Artistic direction, sumptuous Exploration, particularly satisfying The new psychic abilities, terrifying! The soundtrack, solid and captivating The "Joy-Con mouse" gameplay, fun 60 or 120 fps, your choice
The desert, too vast for nothing Some textures and details lacking on mobile Some bosses lack a bit of madness No French dubbing for a total immersion

GameSpot
Impeccably crafted metroidvania exploration and atmosphere
Tense and exciting boss battles with cool creepy metroid-infused designs
Beautiful-looking environments, especially in more industrial wreckage biomes
Story of the Lamorn is well-done and melancholic
Riding around on Vi-O-La grew on me over time, but?
? riding between mission hubs sometimes feels tedious
Controls for Psychic powers and Vi-O-La can feel too fiddly
Federation characters are broad military archetypes and not very interesting

ActuGaming
The return of Samus Aran, let's not deny ourselves the pleasure
A gameplay that is always ultra-responsive.
A more present but well-balanced narration
More powers and a smooth progression
A real technical reference for the Switch and the Switch 2
Lack of craziness in the structure and level design
Only English voices, surprising coming from Nintendo.
Motorcycle quite accessory
A somewhat sparse open area

Vandal
It shines when it is pure Metroid Prime with its exploration, puzzles, and iconic atmosphere.
In audiovisual, it is very well resolved, both technically and artistically.
Desire to innovate, with unique skills, sanctuaries and some interesting bosses.
The integration of an open interconnected region disrupts the pace and does not adapt.
The sequences with NPCs are more numerous than expected and take away space from the classic gameplay.
Samus Aran has many skills, but they are not sufficiently exploited.

The faithful to the previous saga
Some new powers that change what we were used to.
The battles against the final bosses
The soundtrack is spectacular
On an aesthetic level, it's truly incredible.
Some action moments can become boring.
In terms of rhythm, there are sequences that are better than others.

Multiplayer.it
Strong playful, visual and auditory identity
Beautiful design of enemies and bosses
Pleasant collaboration with the various characters.
The main areas range from very good to excellent.
Good facial animations
The controls of the motorcycle arcade are in contradiction with the rest.
The desert is conceptually old and has a bland design.
Samus "muta" is anachronistic, with dubbing.

NPC (Non-Player Characters)
No connected world / open world part is superfluous.

MeriStation
The soundtrack, among the best of the year.
The final bosses.
It is a great technical showcase for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Keep the essence; remain a unique, epic and diverse experience.
The NPCs, the desert, and the motorcycle are what we feared.
Without dubbing in Spanish.
The weakest level design in the saga and mediocre backtracking.
The story, its duration, and its ending.

A technical slap on Switch 2
The fundamentals of the series are still there
Impressive sound design
Interesting level design in the "classic" areas.
The open world empty and useless
The motorcycle that breaks the rhythm
The mouse mode of the Joy-Con 2 is uncomfortable.

GamersGlobal
Three levels of difficulty (the difficult level must be unlocked)
Precise use, whether with a controller, a motion command or a mouse function.
The design of dungeon levels often leads to an interesting change in the environment.
Boss fights are mainly highlights.
Some powerful script sequences
Exploring highly atmospheric areas is enhanced by small puzzles and jumping passages.
In many places, one comes across incentives to come back later with more skills.
The story has a few twists and turns.
The battles against alien fauna and machines are happening quickly.
An excellent artistic design presents attractive perspectives on the abandoned planet.
A flawless 4K/60 performance (1080p / 120 fps performance mode untested)
Sensation of a well-fitted helmet in the interface and details such as drops on the visor.
Nice graphic details like hot air around the gun barrel after continuous firing.
Very present soundtrack with frequent use of choir singing.
Powerful sounds for beam weapons, motorcycles, and alien technology.
Possible loss of progress in the absence of the "Save and Quit" function.
Sometimes, overly intrusive control hints appear when the correct skill is not used against a boss or puzzle.
The aids are signaled by radio at certain locations, whether you want it or not.
Boring and open concentration area with artificially scattered tasks and collectible objects.
Backtracking multiple constraints around the world without added value.
Exploring the hub will only be profitable from the second half with all the skills.
Standard fights are often very simple, without interesting situations due to the environment or enemy combinations.
All too often, only an increased ammo limit is offered as a reward for optional exploration.
Some textures and moderate effects
Some sequences, such as long elevator rides, clearly hide loading times.
However, sometimes there are sections with multiple consecutive loading screens.
No German voice
Samus never speaks, but only screams when she is touched.

Elegant graphics with superb lighting and many details.
Powerful performance with two modes (4K/60 FPS, 1080p/120 FPS)
Well-thought-out level design
Shooting battles feel smooth and intuitive.
The riddles are fair, without representing extreme puzzles.
The upgrade system remains up to date thanks to a good pace.
Dense atmosphere, exciting game world to explore
Psychic powers integrate well.
The Vi-O-La motorcycle drives perfectly.
Orchestral soundtrack and good sound atmosphere
different control modes
Help accessible at the touch of a button
Companions like McKenzie can be annoying.
The open world as a hub of connection would not have been necessary.
Some textures and shadows with low resolution
A lot of backtracking, which can sometimes be quite tedious without a teleportation function.
No free backup available at any time.
Escort missions can be boring.

+ Superb artistic direction and very controlled atmosphere
+ Interesting and well-integrated psychic powers
+ Subtle and well-executed narration
Varied gameplay thanks to Vi-O-La and classic abilities
+ Very beautiful both as a portable and as a docked device
+ Solid level design and successful overall readability
+ Aggressive and more demanding enemy AI
+ Particularly successful Morph Ball passages
Omnipresent scanner that sometimes slows down the pace
Frustrating battles due to Samus' rigidity and the difficulty of aiming with the joystick.
Peaks of difficulty related to dodge management
Possibility of going around in circles if a puzzle escapes us
Manual backups are still too important.
Viewros surface too empty and unappealing
