Key Points:

Metroid Prime 4 (MP4) faced high expectations due to prolonged delays, leading to mixed reception as it was seen as a "mid-tier" game rather than a standout title.
In contrast, Metroid Dread received positive reviews thanks to its strategic release timing, effective marketing, and strong gameplay, resulting in impressive sales despite being on a single platform.
Fans hope for a substantial Season 2 update for Metroid Dread, potentially including paid enhancements and new content, reflecting its popularity and quality.
While some players initially disliked Metroid Dread, many have become converts, praising its gameplay and Samus's portrayal, with anticipation high for the upcoming Ravenous game from MercurySteam.
Despite some criticism, Metroid Prime 4 is still regarded by some fans as a genuine Metroid experience, albeit the weakest among the numbered Prime entries, with appreciation for its core gameplay elements.
