Mar 3, 2023It uses all the buttons.
Yeah.
That basically sums it all up.
Like a Swiss watch.
Showing everyone who spawned this genre. -
Oct 9, 2021This is a 2d Metroid game for Nintendo Switch!!!
Probably my game of the year. -
Jul 22, 2023A dense, tough as nails game. I was surprised as this is the sort of difficulty I’ve come to expect from indie studios, rather than the established ones. It is rather short and linear as recent Metroidvania goes, which is fine considering how intense the game is.

Jul 25, 2023Muito bom, um titulo a altura do super metroid do snes. Só que melhor ainda. jogabilidade muito boa, upgrades de personagens muito bacana, enfim, vale muito a pena.

Nov 16, 2022Despite being a fan of Metroidvanias, this was the first actual Metroid game I have played (I have played many of the Castlevania series games).So, what do you know? I like the genre, so I liked this game a lot. Really fun to play with nice visuals. I used my turbo button sometimes, but overall, the game was fun and a decent challenge.

Feb 10, 2023Too perfect to complain about. Masterpiece for ages. This game really shows why Metroid franshise so special. Brilliant gameplay, awesome music, crazy bosses and beautiful animations with cinematic touch. I'm really thankful towards Yoshio Sakamoto and MercurySteam for this incredible game.

Challanging game with great Puzzles, Details and Atmosphere!
Greetings from Germany! -
Mar 17, 2022The best Metroid ever.
The EMMIS are very nice and make the game more alive.
There is also a high replayability.
So points 10 from 10 -

May 21, 2023Adorei o jogo. Muito desafiante e empolgante, e algumas partes com um grau de dificuldade muito elevado.
Jogabilidade muito boa. -
Feb 1, 2023Perfection. Enough said. It’s so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Jul 22, 2023Excellent game. The best 2d metroid ever. I already completed a thousand times.

Dec 29, 2022Great level designs and awesome boss battles. Levels are structured in such a way that we are directed directly to the power and back to unlock the new path. The map is such a complicated maze but handled in awesome way that we get a sense of accomplishment each time we find the correct way.

Feb 2, 2023La jugabilidad es muy insana y divertida, entretiene mucho lo malo es que por eso el juego te lo puedes pasar rápido
-
Feb 10, 2023This game is rewarding as heck to play. Yeah it's tough, and that's not a bad thing. You get wrecked you keep trying. And you eventually beat and it feels very earned. Fun mechanics, loved the EMMI and the first time I fully beat a Metroid game. Can't recommend this game enough.

Feb 10, 2023Esse jogo merecia uma nota acima de 90, isso só não aconteceu por causa das pessoas que reclamam de besteira, sendo honesto eu amei o jogo, sua história, seu mapa, seus controles, tudo nesse jogo é incrível, bem, tirando a música que são muito fracas e nada memoráveis
-
Feb 13, 2023this game is my first metroid game, and now my favourite game in switch. worth buying
-
Feb 13, 2023Best Metroid game evey made .In my opinion .I cant wait to see the release of the New sequel
-
Feb 16, 2023El mejor juego de la Nintendo 3DS de largo, compra recomendada!
Graficos punteros y jugabilidad extrema!
Banda sonora sublime! -
Mar 7, 2023The perfect sequel to all the previous 2d Metroid games. The movement and combat are slick and one of the best in any 2d game, the bosses are the best in the series and it truly modernizes the formula in a fantastic way. The weakest point is probably the music which is a shame but other than that it is just awesome.
-
Feb 21, 2023Tight and satisfying controls, gorgeous graphics and an overall blast weighed down only by its mediocre soundtrack. A must play.
-
Mar 6, 2023This game really challenged me and I could feel myself improving as I played it. I had never played a 2D metroid game before, but I now find myself looking forward to playing rereleases of the older games. Great entry point into the series.

Apr 18, 2023Game feels like how a modern Metroid game should feel. The one major downside has to be the soundtrack, said soundtrack felt quite unmemorable and doesn't feel Metroid enough.

Jun 23, 2023Demasiado bueno! Animaciones increíbles, un mundo elaborado de una manera magistral una obra de arte que rinde culto a una de las mejores sagas de videojuegos de la historia como lo es Metroid
-
Jul 5, 2023A very good game with wonderful level and map design but an anacrohonistc reward system.

Jul 23, 2023A brilliant 2D Metroid ! The best i've ever played. It's very fun and challenging.
Looking forward to Prime 4 !
Thank you Nintendo -
Aug 5, 2023Great graphics and gameplay!! But I get lost a lot of times which is a shame but I am happy Nintendo got an award for this game aka Best Action Adventure game of 2021!! Well Deserved!!

Sep 11, 2023Expertly designed metroidvania with fluid, fast-paced gameplay. The story is great. The only disappointment is the music.
-
Aug 15, 2023Nintendo out did themselves in a fantastic way with the animation and mechanics. It is linear but not too much that it is like “oh you got to go here now”.

Aug 26, 2023This is The BEST Metroid game in franchise history. Totally must have.
BESTs:
1. Level design
2. Graphics and framerate.
3. Story and lore.
4. Emmi's
5. Difficulty
6. The last Boss.
Really that's in a short but in my opinion this could be a better game than Zelda BOTW. -
Aug 30, 2023The best Metroidvania I have ever played, with fun platformimg, creative upgrades, and challenging and well designed boss fights.

Jan 20, 2022After almost 20 years we finally have a sequel to the 2D series of Metroid games! Considering that, Dread does a great job of combining the new modern combat with the old elements of research and advancement, and it doesn't hurt that we have some of the best boss fights in the series. A true gem and a must have for all Switch gamers.

Dec 13, 2021Taking up the torch of a series interrupted nineteen years ago is never an easy task, but the MercurySteam studio is doing it with honors! The developers have chosen the path of security while perfectly respecting the spirit of the previous episodes, to the detriment of true modernity.
