Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has arrived on storefronts, introducing Samus Aran as the leader of a Galactic Federation squad on an alien world. While the game's companions draw mixed reactions for their stereotypical designs, critics highlight Samus's continued silence as a key narrative issue. The title builds on the series' isolation theme but incorporates team dynamics for the first time in the Prime subseries.
