Metroid Prime 4 is actually here! After a long development, including years of silence, the first-person Metroid series returns in the form of the Nintendo Switch 2’s big holiday release. But does it feel like a game from 2025 or 2015? Plus, Plante finally played the pseudo-metroidvania Ooo and can’t wait to tell you about this short, but sweet treat.

Still playing the hell out of Hades II, past the epilogue and just trying to earn all of the unlockables and forge all the bonds. I will say that while I love the writing overall, both the epilogue and one particular post-epilogue character backstory reveal fall kind of flat. Neither has the pomp and circumstance that the moment deserves to make it feel impactful, and the backstory reveal in general seems like it would've been significantly more effective had it been incorporated into (or occurred before) the game's main ending. Despite those particular gripes, the game is just so damn addictive and entertaining that I still consider it to be the best overall game I played this year. Also, this soundtrack... MAN, as I've listened to it more, I've started to realize the sheer depth of it. Aside from the consistently surprising instrumentation and often brilliant use of motifs, Darren Korb's work as a lyricist here is really worthy of separate recognition. Artemis' and Apollo's songs are great on their own, but then combine themes (both musically and lyrically) to form the end credits piece about light and shadow in a way that really feels like a culmination of everything the first and second game have been about. And while I already knew the pieces performed by Scylla And The Sirens were catchy, diving into their lyrics has led me to appreciate just how clever Korb is when it comes to writing songs AS a character. You could easily see someone performing these in a rock opera based on the games, as there's an actual story being told about Scylla through the four different boss themes.
