* The sheer creativity of the game and its environment. The world of Tallon IV feels real and diverse, and every single form of life and most objects in the game can be scanned for intimate details.
* The bosses knock it out of the park; one of the very first ones is a complex scenario in its own right. It's a machine that releases bees, which in any other Nintendo game would be a nuisance at best. In this game, however, this machine has been sheltering a subspecies of giant wasp that ''utilize complex battle strategies''. The Ram War Wasps circle Samus at high speed, ignoring every rule in the MookChivalry book by attacking a) from behind, b) while their peers are still circling, and c) in pairs and threes. The design of the area indicates it was likely a training ground for young Chozo warriors, except that since the fall of the Chozo, the water that floods the area has become corrosive enough to kill someone of Samus' caliber in seconds. ''That'' is how you make a fight against bugs fun.
* The art design in general. Despite ''Metroid'' being based on 70s and 80s sci-fi, its look hasn't become dated the way movies like Film/{{Alien}} or Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries have. Retro studios nailed a sci-fi look that straddles the line and stays modern.

* Among critics and audiences alike, ''Metroid Prime'' is a common contender for '''Best Game of All Time''', right up there with VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime and VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV. Among Metroid titles, only VideoGame/SuperMetroid ever manages to contend with it for fans' favorite title. The kicker is that this was achieved by an unknown and unproven studio, Retro, for whom it was their debut project (all their other projects ended up cancelled). It was a game that fought incredible cynicism from the first look, only to blow the gaming world wide open and give ''Metroid'' a fighting chance among Nintendo's other titles.
* The graphical quality of this game is downright futuristic. It's quite telling that ''twenty years'' after it was made, it still looks better visually than some other games coming out. The Remastered version ups this even more, taking what little gaps there were in Retro's flawless graphics flex and filling them in, fine-tuning the whole thing to make sure it stays one of Nintendo's most beautiful games ever.
* How good is Metroid Prime? It became the best-selling game in the series. And ''Remastered'' proves that it might could just do this twice; it was a shadow drop at an early-year Nintendo Direct, immediately available digitally and a hit on the market, but its physical release was so anticipated that copies had to be delayed and re-stocked, so many weren't able to get their hands on it on time. Even still, the physical release alone (Nintendo doesn't release digital sales data for their games) [[https://www.gamesindustry.biz/hogwarts-legacy-narrowly-denies-metroid-prime-remastered-no1-uk-boxed-charts was only beaten on the UK charts by]] VideoGame/HogwartsLegacy, despite releasing in full a whole month after the digital version.

* The fight with the Omega Pirate is amazing, when you think about it - after facing dangerous wildlife, as cunning as they may be, Samus still hadn't faced anything with true sapient intelligence on Tallon IV yet. The Omega Pirate is no mindless beast, making use of lethal strategy and calling for backup from Beam Troopers to wear Samus down. He even seems to yell at one point "Finish her!" in English, and laughs at Samus while he's invisible. As cool as it is to see Samus take on violent predators, nothing beats a brawl with a proud and intelligent warrior.
