Jerica played a Metroid game for the first time, so naturally she needed backup.
Josh and Jordan (aka Cognitive Clips) join me to break down our first impressions of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, with Jordan bringing longtime Metroid knowledge and Josh coming in already "in the know" about the series.

We talk about:
– How it feels to jump into Metroid as a total newcomer
– What the game explains well vs. what it might expect from you
– Movement, atmosphere, and that classic Metroid vibe
– Whether Metroid Prime is a good entry point if you’ve never touched the franchise before
If you’ve ever looked at Metroid and thought “this looks cool but is it empty?”, this one’s for you.
