A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Compared to Metroid Prime 1, does the Metroid Prime 2 environment feel bland? (lemmy.ml)

Overall the game is OK, but it seems that the environment is kind of boring compared to Metroid Prime 1. But maybe it is just nostalgia. What are your thoughts?

If you agree, do you think they did a better job in Prime 3? I'll play that next.

I see what you’re saying, but I still think the environment feels uninspired. I’m guessing I’m about halfway through the game. I’ve just got the grapple beam. I’m looking forward to finishing it so I can move on. It’s enjoyable enough to keep me playing, but I don’t look forward to it the same way that I look forward to a prime 1 replay.

I remember reading an interview with the devs when MP2 came out that they wanted the areas to feel less "video-gamey", where you had a fire level, an ice level, etc, and wanted more natural biomes. I feel like they were successful, and despite the reuse of the world through Dark Aether, it feels varied and interesting.
