I got all the way up to right before the Meta Ridley fight and dropped it. I think what happened was that I felt like I didn't have enough health or missiles, but at the same time, I didn't feel like scouring all over the place trying to find more. With everything at an impasse, I just stopped playing and never went back to it. I guess I should've just given the boss fight a try to see what would've happened, but what's done is done. Prime has a lot of the same strengths that Super Metroid does. The game's aesthetics are stunning. It feels like a fully realized world with a wide variety of area types. I think Magmoor Caverns might have been my favorite location. The music there was really catchy, and I still remember it even though it's been years since the last time I played Prime. I'm normally not a fan of FPS games, but they made that first-person perspective really work with nice visual touches (like rain drops and steam on Samus's visor), as well as the scanner to give you more information about the world around you. That feeling of gradually getting stronger as you gain new powerups is still immensely satisfying. Prime has some really solid boss fights, too. However, like how Prime shares a lot of Super Metroid's strengths, it also shares many of its weaknesses. I was mostly able to push through it and figure it all out along the way in Prime, but I still didn't enjoy the feeling of aimlessness and all the backtracking trying to discern what my next objective was. As I said before, it's ultimately what hindered me from beating the game, since I didn't feel like doing all sorts of hunting to find what I needed. I thought about using a guide, but I realized it wouldn't be very helpful because I'd have no way of knowing which ones I'd found and which ones I hadn't. Maybe if my Super Metroid replay goes well, I might give this game another shot and finally beat it, too. Then maybe I'll beat the other Prime games and be ready for Prime 4! Who knows!
