Looks like it's hovering around 80-82. I read a couple of them and the TL;DR seems to be "yeah, it's not as good as the previous games but still worth playing".

DF review has very high praise for the technical aspects, though so far they only tested in on the Switch 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhVJ_P6dzFg

A tiny bit concerning to see the good-average consensus, considering the hype that this game once had.

The snippets I read, sounds like there are annoying aspects that shouldn't be there. But there's a good Metroid Prime game cased inside those.

I'm sure I'll find myself enjoying it. Outside of Federation Force, I've never not found something to really like about a Metroid game.
