Also, the game is surprisingly funnier than I expected. Like Myles will be very YMMV of course, but I liked how Volt Forge and the first foray into Flare Pool had a few of these like, little moments of understated physical comedy in a similar vein as the post-Thardus cutscene in Prime 1. Not so much and not so frequent as to be distracting, but it's a nice sprinkling of tonal spice. And then in Ice Belt that stuff gets quietly put away again, for the game to shift into a more serious and spooky direction.

I noticed this too. There’s this subtle undercurrent of physical comedy throughout the game so far. Leaving Fury Green by getting shot out of an orbital cannon had me cackling.
Also when Samus has to go down the tunnel to Volt Forge before she get’s the Vi-O-La, she stares down the tunnel and just… starts running. The transition animation is just her running for miles. (Side note: the area transition animations are really creative in this game).
Then there’s the fact that Volt Forge is just an alien DMV.
