About

Deadly sharpshooter Sylux has finally caught up with renowned bounty hunter Samus Aran! After an unexpected accident in the wake of their clash, Samus finds herself transported to Viewros— a mysterious planet once inhabited by an ancient race. Now she must explore this planet, all while battling the strange creatures that inhabit it, to find her way home. Scan your surroundings for clues, make the most of your equipment and weapons, and use Samus's newfound psychic abilities— and her technologically advanced bike, the Vi-O-La— to traverse and explore the environment. Operate mechanisms, control your charge beam, and more— you'll need every tool at your disposal to survive and escape Viewros!

Not all of Prime 4’s additions work, but this is still an excellent comeback.

It's enjoyable enough, and has glimpses of vintage Metroid shining through, but Metroid Prime 4: Beyond could and should have been so much more. Our review.

The wait for a new Metroid Prime has been long, but it only takes a few minutes in Beyond to remember why we have been so eager to re-enter this universe for the past 18 years.

Agreement—

After 18 years of waiting, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond manages to replicate that magical sense of discovery from the GameCube original while pushing the series in some incredible new directions. Separating the main biomes with a vast open world sounds ridiculous on paper, but the slick traversal provided by Vi-O-La makes exploration more satisfying than ever.Combine this with the stunning art direction, ferocious new boss characters, and a surprisingly endearing squad of Federation troopers, and Beyond is quite possibly the boldest, most well-realised Metroid game to date. Make no mistake, the long wait has been more than worth it. Welcome back, Samus.
