Oh boy a new IP, from the makers of MegaMan and Metroid Prime. MP was my sh!T back in the day. First things first. Gotta get this out of the way... There is no intro cinematic or cutscene... Why? Beats me. As a big fan of MP I noticed right away the similar mechanics and design. Samus had 4 different weapons to shoot (not including missiles). Same for this new character... The morphball tracks you need the magnetic upgrade to use, also in this game, tho you need to find a different bot to use them... The level also has the classic Metroid design where you need certain upgrades to explore early unreachable areas. So the mechanics are solid imo. Story? Well I'm only about 5 hours in, but most of the context and plot are revealed by either audio logs you can find and a few short cutscenes. Dialogue with bots has a Starwars feel, your character can understand them, but you the player cannot, so in said cutscenes your character just repeats what the boys say. The story hasn't grabbed my attention yet, but I expect it to pick up the intensity later on, because so far the game hasn't given me any real motivation to complete it other than to sate my own curiosity (which I guess isn't too bad either). It's got that nostalgic feel to it that I was hoping for so that a big plus for me. It's def not a "next gen" game. To me it's just an old style game with some fresh paint on it. We'll see if it was worth $40 soon enough
