my favorite part of Metroid Prime is going down hallways to get a powerup and then coming back through those same hallways

That describes what I do every day, except replace the power up with taking a shit

The hallways take about 5 seconds to walk through. What's the problem?

>>713574402
hallways plural

Only true for a single powerup

Pretend there's office lights on the ceiling and that its the "backrooms" zoomzoom

Man, I played this game so much, but it was one of the only things I had on Gamecube.
The atmosphere, music, visuals, immersion, etc., are all top notch. But the gameplay itself is pretty weak, including combat and exploration.
I think Metroid Prime is a little overrated, but I understand that the vast majority of people who love the game do so because of the strengths I mentioned above, not because of the pure gameplay.

My favorite part of not being a zoomer is being able to enjoy video games where I'm not being bombarded with dopamine-rush design every second.
