GLaDOS is narrating the trailer. Check that out below and please stick around for my thoughts on the game.…

Metroid Prime 4 is in development for the Nintendo Switch right now. It’ll probably be awhile before that game is out. Meanwhile, where should a gamer go to get some first person exploration fun?
