I always see the backtracking brought up, but isnt that kind of central to the Metroid series? You get a new thing, and then run back through older areas to get some goodies with your new weapon/upgrades
Just a matter of taste I guess, I just played through Prime Remastered and thought it was still like a 9.5/10, with Prime 2 being the 10/10
Sorta. The execution of it really depends. The best executions of it are when you suddenly find yourself in an old area from finding a new entry point which then leads to another exit you can now use or that your new abilities find yourself traversing old areas a lot quicker. It's a tough balance to combine the feeling of rediscovering old areas in a fresh way with a new ability and tedium of walking through the same areas several times with the same enemies that feels the same.
I'm not making a statement of MP specifically as I haven't got back into it yet.
