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.
