Basically the title, one of the things I will miss the most ok Reddit will be r/metroid and it doesn’t look like there anything similar in the Fediverse. Prove me wrong?
I’m a huge fan of the Metroid Prime games.
We could really use a general Metroidvania community here on the Fediverse.
Not at all current… But i dusted off a retro-pi i made a few years back over the weekend, and started playing Super Metroid. This game is pretty damn old, and a masterpiece of design… I cannot get over how well they nailed the music, stylized graphics, and overall “sense of place”… It is a fine fine game.
Definitely. I played Fusion as a kid and it’s been one of my favorite series since. I’m still working on finishing the Prime Remaster, I got sidetracked by TotK. But I can’t wait for Prime 4.
I’m a big 2D Metroid guy! I’ve played them all. I recently joined r/Metroid but I wasn’t in love with the gratuitous amount of Samus fanart.
I’ve always loved the level design of the sprawling 2D worlds. Can anyone who has played the 2D and 3D games sell me on Metroid prime?
For me, I’d just say that the atmosphere translated suuuper well into Prime (I haven’t played Prime 2 or 3 yet, however). Soundtrack is excellent and is my favorite of the series so far.
I’ve been a fan of Metroid since the OG and Super Metroid is my favorite. I was skeptical of Prime when it came out back in the day, but I loved it. Really captures the lonely Metroid feel. And seeing a metroid in 3D for the first time was terrifying (even if they’re not as powerful in Prime).
Also, shoutout to Axiom Verge, which captured the Metroid feel better than any other non-Metroid game, in my opinion.
Still waiting for the Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remaster…
I made /m/Metroid over on kbin.social a few days ago if anyone’s interested
I did it! (https://lemm.ee/post/225912)
Yeah I love Metroid! I prefer the 3D games - Metroid Prime Hunters is one that I don’t hear much about but it was my first Metroid game and I remember having a blast with it. I played the original Metroid Prime recently (Primehack, not the remaster). Really incredible level design. I need to get round to playing 2 and 3!
Of the 2D games, I did enjoy Fusion and Dread. More than anything I love the genre it inspired - Hollow Knight for example is near perfect.
