I see this sentiment a lot and I’ve disagreed. Something didn’t really click for me with Metroid prime - I much preferred the side scrollers. I think it has to do with controllers - up until then I was a mouse and keyboard person, the controller was jarring and janky.

Maybe I should revisit the series. I never thought it was a bad game, maybe I’ll appreciate it more the 2nd time around.

I do love me some Metroid games whatever the form.

Absolutely try reversing y axis, in shooters.

Maybe flip the controller if you can, some people prefer look and strafe on the wrong thumb sticks.

I don't make the rules, and spacial reasoning is an art not a science
