Maybe it&#8217;s more like 17 or 18, but man&#8230; It was worth it. While it&#8217;s a bit too linear and doesn&#8217;t top the heights of Prime 1, in my opinion, it&#8217;s still really good. It still gives you the opportunity to explore a Metroid game in first-person, and that&#8217;s all I really want in life.

And that unlocked New Game+, which is just harder versions of the stages you&#8217;re already accustomed to. That&#8217;s okay though, playing this game is fun enough to plug away at it for a little while longer. Maybe not to 100%, but long enough to see if there&#8217;s an NG++.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">~ Progress Notes ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peglin<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Finished Cruciball with the status guy, just one character left!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tingus Goose<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Chapter 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Propagation: Paradise Hotel<\/strong> (Quest) &#8211; About two hours in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/strong> (PS5) &#8211; Act 3 &amp; DLC sidequestin&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">~ Purchases ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Metroid Prime 4: Beyond<\/strong> (Switch 2)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tingus Goose<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deep Cuts<\/strong> (Quest)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Propagation: Paradise Hotel<\/strong> (Quest)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A (Switch2) &#8211; The Mega Dimension DLC is a little repetitive, but good gravy did it ever rope me in good.
