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

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.

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

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.

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.

Boring and open concentration area with artificially scattered tasks and collectible objects.

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.

This more action-oriented side is not unpleasant. The gameplay base remains effective. The Mouse mode controls work well. We can be amazed graphically at times. Technically, it is solid (4K 60fps, 1080p 120fps).
Gameplay that evolves too little. The motorcycle is poorly designed, poorly implemented. The desert, immensely empty and uninteresting. Disjointed pace. On the motorcycle, the game becomes ugly. Up close, the textures are blurry. Cross-gen release that limits visual ambitions. Samus silent while her companions chatter non-stop.

Often lackluster fights outside of bosses
Empty and incoherent desert hub
Little risk taking in the mechanics
Uneven and sometimes rigid psychic novelties
Structure that smooths out the Metroid identity

He maintains his metroidvania spirit.
Beautiful artistic section

NPC somewhat boring and undeveloped
The desert area is something useless.
A lot of padding when you get to the end

Gameplay and movements are pleasant and easy to handle.
120 fps is possible in both portable and docked mode.
Solid lifespan for a game of this genre
A memorable OST with beautiful themes
Mouse mode, gyroscopic aiming or buttons: several ways to play.
Several environments and gameplay possibilities that continue to expand.

A game designed for the Nintendo Switch that technically limits the title
No use of the touch screen
The charisma of the secondary characters that does not contribute to engaging with the plot.
Lack of French dubbing is incomprehensible.
The teleportation and save sequences that quickly become tiresome.
Riddles that sometimes lack clarity

The game looks utterly gorgeous
The mysterious plot is intriguing and surprising
Boss battles are a thrilling challenge

Lifeless ?open-world? of Viewros isn?t much fun to explore
A weird supporting line-up of allies who offer very little to the game

Best looking game in the franchise (of course)
Great soundtrack
The primary dungeons and puzzles are still fun
Fun, exciting boss battles
Using Samus?s new psychic powers is both familiar and entertaining

Character moments feel awkward with the silent protagonist
Poor game design decisions artificially extend the game in frustrating ways
Mediocre cast and a terrible villain

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.

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

NintendorosAn action-packed adventure superbly designed.
Gigantic production values.
Everything has been taken care of down to the smallest detail.

The lack of Spanish dubbing is a shame.
The mouse mode, although innovative, may not be suitable for everyone.
