The darkest and hardest of the Prime games: a light and dark world where the dark one drains health continuously, so exploration runs on a clock. Boss design is excellent. The ammo system for beams is the divisive part — it turns experimenting with weapons into a resource decision, and backtracking for keys late on is genuinely tedious.

Its opening hour still holds up as atmosphere: you wake on a crashed prison ship and the alien world outside is quiet and strange in a way shooters of its era rarely were. Weapons have real alt-fire identity. It is long and uneven — the middle stretch of similar corridors runs well past its ideas, and enemy AI outside the Skaarj is basic.
