Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review – Prime, But Not Quite Prime Prime

The game begins with a large-scale battle between the Federation and a group of Space Pirates led by Sylux, a recurring rival of the hero Samus Aran. Sylux is mysteriously controlling Metroids, but the immediate goal is for the Federation to secure an ancient artifact before Sylux can get to it. When the mission fails spectacularly, the artifact sends Samus to Viewros, a planet that’s slowly dying after its inhabitants, the Lamorn, vanished long ago. Samus discovers a Psychic Crystal that allows her to use the Lamorn’s advanced technology. She soon realizes she’s not the only one stranded there—Sylux, along with Federation soldiers and equipment, has also been transported to Viewros. Now, they’re all stuck on this desolate planet and must find a way to escape.
