Release Date: December 4, 2025
The fourth full-fledged installment in the best-selling action series Metroid Prime, owned by Nintendo. The story of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond takes place on the exoplanet Viewros. Once again, we can play as Samus Aran, equipped with psychic abilities, a diverse arsenal, a futuristic motorcycle, and an option to turn into a Morph Ball. We explore locations, fight enemies, and solve puzzles.
Metroid is one of the most important brands in Nintendo's portfolio and one of the productions that laid the foundation for the metroidvania genre. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond described here is the fourth installment of the subseries that began in 2002. It brings the characteristic elements of this series to the framework of first-person action-adventure games.
The adventure in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond takes us through diverse locations, including a sandy desert, icy wastelands, and a jungle. As we explore them, we solve environmental puzzles, fight opponents, and also search for clues, including scanning stone statues and ruins.
On our path, we encounter both regular adversaries in the form of aggressive creatures and much more powerful bosses. We make use of firearms on the battlefield. Besides that, the main character gains new psychic abilities (useful both in combat and while solving puzzles), and traversing the game world is enhanced by the Vi-O-La motorcycle.
As the protagonist's range of abilities expands with progress, it's worth returning to previously visited locations to discover areas and secrets that were previously overlooked.
In Metroid Prime 4: Beyond we take on the role of bounty hunter Samus Aran. The protagonist arrives on the unknown exoplanet Viewros, which was once home to the enigmatic race of Lamorn. The globe becomes the arena for her battle with Sylux, a fellow bounty hunter of Samus, who holds a grudge against both her and the entire Galactic Federation.

Game Ratings for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Video Game.
Eurogamer: 3 / 5 by Alex Donaldson
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is enjoyable enough, and has glimpses of vintage Metroid shining through, but this game could and should have been so much more.
GameSpot: 8 / 10 by Steve Watts
High highs and middling lows make Metroid Prime 4's return uneven.
Daily Mirror: 3 / 5
It all amounts to what is easily the most mystifying and mixed of Samus Aran’s first-person outings yet. But there’s still some joy to be found in slowly peeling back the layers of an ever-expanding world, regardless of how disjointed it ends up being.
