About Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

An exploration-driven 3D metroidvania/first-person shooter hybrid and sequel to Metroid Prime (2002) in which Samus lands on Aether, an intricate planet torn into light and dark versions of itself, to help its remaining inhabitants defend against the invaders from its dark incarnation by traversing both the light and dark worlds, acquiring new power-ups and braving oppressive environments.

Does the constant back and forth between both worlds actually add tension for everyone, or is it just me who found it draining halfway through the backtracking…

    Does the constant back and forth between both worlds actually add tension for everyone, or is it just me who found it draining halfway through the backtracking sections?

    We split it co-op style, passing the pad each swap...

    Bien sûr, un jeu culte qui traîne à la 239e place, ou plutôt qui stagne, rien d'anormal ici.

    Je l'ai fait en pleine période d'examens, mauvaise idée niveau organisation mais bon souvenir quand même, surtout les phases où on bascule entre les deux mondes.

    Portal doesn't ask you to remember which door leads where either.

    Je me souviens surtout du silence entre deux salles, ça marquait plus que n'importe quel dialogue.

    La ambientación de Éter tiene momentos brillantes, pero el ritmo se rompe cada vez que tienes que cruzar entre los dos mundos buscando la puerta correspondiente, y para un juego tan bien valorado eso pesa más de lo que la gente admite.

    I remember trading tips with a friend about the dark world back when this came out, and honestly none of us thought about rankings, just about finishing it.
