• Reviews around atmosphere (1.57 of 5)

    Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

    • the atmosphere of the dark world is dangerous, depleting your health as you traverse the land
    • Dark Aether is depressing, lonely, and conveys a real sense of danger as throughout the bulk of the game you're running around between spheres of light to escape the poisonous atmosphere
    • All in all the MP2E is a solid First Person Adventure with shooting components, puzzles, ginormous bosses, a variety of lifeforms, lots of weapons/suit upgrades, tones of secrets to explore, fantastic music and real atmosphere
    • The atmosphere is a lot darker this time, owing to the Dark world, and it is completely immersive
    • Light Crystals are scattered about the landscape that, when activated, expel a temporary light barrier, effectively shielding Samus from the harmful atmosphere.
    • There's so many impressive factors, the usefulness of your visors giving you extra interaction throughout the game, the new upgrades, the logic that your dark beam annihilates anything in the normal dimension and vice versa, New upgrades for more interaction, noticeably better graphics, the wonderful (and honestly really frustrating at times) challenge of trying to fight a boss in the dark dimension but losing health constantly because the atmosphere alone can kill you ( don't worry, you get upgrades that make it do less damage and eventually you can walk through taking no damage at all
    • Nintendo!You explore the same areas that you do in the light world (for the most part) however the atmosphere is incredibly creepier and lonelier in the dark world.
    • Besides the topographical changes that affect how you approach your objectives, there's the fact that the very atmosphere of Dark Aether is corrosive to Samus, which factors into how easily you can navigate the areas you explore.
    • I can't stand this game I find it stupid you have to switch between the light and dark worlds and then back track at certain points in the game not to mention the enemies on here are annoying as
