I do play FPS games, but not on controller. Beyond that I can't really say - there was nothing that grabbed me in 30 minutes of playtime, and every other metroid game had at least something interesting at the beginning with some intrigue. With Prime, it seemed like the Interesting Thing were the mechanics themselves, which, on their own, didn't do it for me.
Interesting!
It gets a lot better once you're on the planet. Great atmosphere while exploring alien ruins, expected metroid-style exploration. Multiple save-points lol!
The space station doesn't do the mechanics justice, but I'm also going to add I don't imagine they'll ever blow you away especially if you've been exposed to a lot of FPS games. But I do think you'd have a good time down there. It spawned a trilogy for a reason!
Also if you hadn't and do go back, try using the pointer controls. The ability to actually aim with your joycon adds convenience and immersion. :) and maybe one of the other options would click with you.
