Hot take I’ve never liked Prime 2. I think the dark world/light world stuff is annoying. Prime 1 > 4 > 3 > 2
I’m glad others are liking MP4, but I found the experience pretty tedious overall. I did like most of the dungeons, with the Ice Belt being a particular highlight, and the music and art direction are both strong. I did not care for the overall world setup, the enemy respawn frequency, or the spongey bosses and enemies. I also never gelled with the controls. My friend that loves the trilogy is having a better time so maybe this series just isn’t for me.
The series isn't really a lot like MP4 haha, also the bosses shouldn't be spongy if you fight them "correctly". Def give Prime 1 Remastered another chance tho.
MP1 update: I beat Thardus (the rock monster you beat by using your heat vision). Got the Spider Ball upgrade. Guessing I am about halfway through. I think I am going to take a little break before continuing.
