After nearly two decades of waiting, Metroid Prime 4 is finally here—and it sparked a lot of discussion on the Simply Nerdy panel. In this review, we break down what Nintendo absolutely nailed, where the game stumbles, and why opinions on this entry are more divided than you might expect.

We talk stunning visuals, flawless performance, atmosphere, world design, combat difficulty, and the new control options (including mouse controls), alongside criticisms of NPC implementation, Soul Valley, green crystal grinding, and some controversial design choices. Some of us consider this one of the best Prime games ever made, while others walked away frustrated after years of anticipation.

This is a full panel review with scores, followed by an in-depth spoiler discussion—so whether you loved the game, hated parts of it, or are still on the fence, there’s plenty here to dig into.

This video is based on our complete panel discussion and review of Metroid Prime 4.
