Basically the title, one of the things I will miss the most ok Reddit will be r/metroid and it doesn't look like there anything similar in the Fediverse. Prove me wrong?

I'm a big 2D Metroid guy! I've played them all. I recently joined r/Metroid but I wasn't in love with the gratuitous amount of Samus fanart.

I've always loved the level design of the sprawling 2D worlds. Can anyone who has played the 2D and 3D games sell me on Metroid prime?

For me, I'd just say that the atmosphere translated suuuper well into Prime (I haven't played Prime 2 or 3 yet, however). Soundtrack is excellent and is my favorite of the series so far.

I've been a fan of Metroid since the OG and Super Metroid is my favorite. I was skeptical of Prime when it came out back in the day, but I loved it. Really captures the lonely Metroid feel. And seeing a metroid in 3D for the first time was terrifying (even if they're not as powerful in Prime).

Also, shoutout to Axiom Verge, which captured the Metroid feel better than any other non-Metroid game, in my opinion.

The new Prime remaster has better controls, or if you emulate the GC version, there's a mod called PrimeHack that adds some quality of life features, like modern FPS controls.

Prime was pretty great at the time. The world is pretty well built, there's a ton of unlockable lore scattered around, and most of the mechanics are pretty satisfying. The map system is the same Metroid style, but in 3D it's a bit more tedious to navigate.
