The game has an 80 on Metacritic. That doesn't sound like a lot of hate to me.
The game is like getting unfairly criticized for things IMO.

Like yes, the game is not perfect at all, but some of these things like the NPCs, the "no music in the desert", etc, just seem to be getting blown out of proportion IMO. I read and watched a lot of reviews before I picked it up because I was super on the fence about it due to the open world thing and getting it on Switch 1.

I looked at some in-depth reviews discussions of the game and won't be picking it up. It may be called Metroid Prime 4, but as far as I'm concerned it's wearing the franchise as a skin suit and is not a Metroid title.

Someone said a bunch of the former 343 people who ruined Halo were responsible for this abomination. If there need to be more layoffs in the video game industry I know exactly where they can start.

Nintendo Japan needs to take the series back. They may not have much experience with developing that kind of game, but I believe that they'd at least ensure that nothing like that awful slop would be released onto the market.

I'm probably 10 hours into Metroid Prime 4 and it is fantastic. If you liked previous ones, I highly recommend it.

And it looks great on OG Switch.
