Yeah, somewhat agree.

It's great just to see it exist. And not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, especially when the series hasn't had a game in 15 years.

But by the end of it, I was kinda left wanting some new hook.

Sylux showing up was a cool moment though. I didn't expect them to honor that tease from Prime 3, and I appreciate it.

Plus it's a MetroidVania. Well, kinda the MetroidVania, or half of it. Trying too much with it would feel weird IMO because I'd want the two grandfathers to focus more on the central tenets, not some inventive genre-spinoffs.
