Metroid Prime: Federation Force is unfortunately the worst Metroid game

It was 2015 and Metroid fans were practically starving. Nintendo’s sci-fi series hadn’t gotten a new installment since 2010’s Metroid: Other M, a polarizing attempt to take the series in a more cinematic direction. But for the briefest moment during Nintendo’s 2015 digital E3 showcase, hope seemed to be on the horizon. A trailer for a new 3DS game started rolling, showing a spaceship careening through a frozen tundra. A logo popped up on screen revealing an answer to fans’ prayers. It was a new Metroid Prime game, thank God.
