Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the first new game in the Metroid Prime series in over ten years. Many doubted it would ever be released, but it finally is! While it’s the lowest-rated game in the series, critics still generally gave it positive reviews.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is now available, just in time for the holidays! The latest installment in the beloved Metroid series delivers the classic experience of battling Space Pirates and Metroids. While reviews are generally positive, it’s unlikely to be in the running for Game of the Year.
The Nintendo Switch & Switch 2 Welcomes Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Review scores for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are now mostly finalized on Metacritic. Currently, the game has an average score of 80 out of 100, based on 63 reviews from Nintendo Switch owners.
Let’s start by saying this is a strong score. Most games average around a 7 out of 10, so an 8/10 is definitely excellent. While longtime Metroid fans who were really excited for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond might have hoped for an even higher score, considering the legacy of past Metroid Prime titles, this is still a very positive result.
Metacritic scores show that the original Metroid Prime is highly rated at 97/100, followed by Metroid Prime 2: Echoes at 92/100, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption at 90/100. The newest game, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, is the first main installment in the series to receive a score below 90, and it initially even dipped below 80.
It seems like people are quick to judge games based on reviews and scores these days, but it’s important to remember that developers deserve our support. Will a less-than-perfect score for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond prevent you from buying it, or are you getting it on release day? Share your thoughts with the community on the TopMob Discord Server!
