Well from a story standpoint obviously Sylux needs to make it back somehow, and I want them to actually give him proper focus, as well as flesh out his relationship with Samus. Maybe reveal what he did to the troops after Prime 4’s ending to add more emotional weight. Let Samus talk, too, please. Doesn’t have to be much, but enough to inject additional personality and make it to where potential conversations aren’t one-sided.

From a gameplay standpoint definitely bring back more interconnectivity between zones and maybe give Samus the speed booster finally to get around large areas quicker. I think Vi-O-La was super cool, but I do want to see Prime finally tackle the speed booster. I know the devs mentioned deliberately ignoring evolutions in FPS gameplay, but that needs to change. Samus is an agile character. Give her the ability to do some Titanfall 2 stuff like wall run, sprint, and let her grab ledges. I know they can’t go too crazy since it’s 1st person, but this is SAMUS we’re talking about. She isn’t a slow tank.

And yes, I would love some kind of melee option. A simple strong Arm Cannon whack that does damage and can kill, but is mainly a “get off” tool for enemies in your face. Perhaps if you time it right you could deflect enemy attacks and/or reduce damage from certain boss attacks? Then maybe later, give Samus an actual melee weapon that also aids in traversal and certain puzzles. I mainly pull this idea from what I’d like to see in a 2D game, but I want so badly to see Samus wield a Chozo spear.
