One More Go

Metroid Prime, originally released on the Gamecube, has far more in common with The Outer Wilds than it does Doom. A shame, then, that so much of your time is spent firing a gun. When acting as a Samus simulator, Metroid is at its best, with flourishes that sell the physicality of the world. But, most of the time it’s bogged down by dull puzzle combat and some of the worst boss encounters of any game I’ve played.
