Prime was my favorite game as a kid and I still play it every so often to this day. Something about the style of gameplay - the slow & methodical exploration, the cool futuristic environments, the attention to detail required to solve the puzzles, the rewards for thinking creatively - I swear it set me on a life path that ended up with me becoming a Software Engineer and loving my job. Thank you Metroid Prime & development team. I just feel bad for the kids of today that no comparable modern games really exist.

They're not metroidvanias but in a wired way I found the Dead Space series to scratch the same itch.

I found Alien Isolation elicited this feeling in me too. I suppose Metroid copied many motifs from sci-fi movies over the years.

Agreed, Isolation is one of my favorite games of all time. It's sad to see what the suits have done to the developers of that game, instead of a sequel we're now getting some shitty co-op shooter that nobody asked for.

Was that the game that monitored your kinetic/microphone to make sure you were hiding quietly?

I never played it but that's got to be an innovative way to stress out gamers!

Yeah I've been meaning to check out this series. I plan to try out the remake once it comes out next year.
