    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first game in the series I played was super metroid, in the SNES. I've been a fan of this kind of exploration games. I never had Gameboy to play fusion, nor gamecube to play the prime series. When I bought my switch, I wanted to get the feeling again that when I played super metroid, that feeling of being lost, but when you already think you're stuck in the game, you find a wall that goes apart or a boss that gives you a new skill. So, when metroid dread was announced, I was very excited. I bought it right when he was out, and I couldn't stop playing. Every area, every enemy, every boss, every new skill just gave me motivation to keep playing. The first day, I got stuck in Kraid, but that didn't destituded me to stop playing. It still gave me more motivation to improve in the game. There are few games that give you that motivation, that feeling that you can improve, even if you can't get it at the first time . In short, very good game, INCREDIBLE movement and the 60€ are worth it… Expand

    It's hard to top Super Metroid, but this is another classic Metroid game. In my opinion this is a hybrid of Super Metroid and Fusion. The exploration is great. Movement is fluid. The boss battles are challenging at first but fair. The final boss is my favorite in all of 2D Metroid. Metroid Dread was worth the wait.

    What a fantastic game. Nintendo proves that after years of others making Metroid-like games, they are still the kings. The world is beautiful. The soundtrack is gorgeous. The boss fights are some of the funnest yet. Hope to see more Metroid. Buy this game!

    Alright, I just finished my second playthrough on hard 100%. I have to tell you, this game is like metriod, like OG Metriod but in concept, its refreshing. What i mean by this is that this game doesn't hold your hand, doesn't pat you in the back, the rewards aren't as impactful (you make them impactful, but more on this later) as in other Metriod games and as someone who recently playedAlright, I just finished my second playthrough on hard 100%. I have to tell you, this game is like metriod, like OG Metriod but in concept, its refreshing. What i mean by this is that this game doesn't hold your hand, doesn't pat you in the back, the rewards aren't as impactful (you make them impactful, but more on this later) as in other Metriod games and as someone who recently played Super Metriod and Metroid Fusion(my favorite) i have to tell you, that the people complaining on exploring or how this game is linear, etc. don't know what they are talking about. You think backtracking and going through all the map again and again is "exploring"? Oh man, please take your nostalgia glases off.

    This game ticks a lot of boxes, the graphics, the presentation, the atmosphere, not the soundtrack, but the bosses guys, the bosses... I have to tell you, those where the best bosses in a Metriod game PERIOD, no contest and you know why? Because its the best game as an extension of Samus, the precision, the speed, the responsiveness is unparalleled, it feels like if you are playing a smash character, that is the extent of the control you have as a player, for me that is growth extended to the player(you), YOU make Samus better, YOU learn and understand how to utilize the tools you are given in game to express yourself; maybe you like more charge shots and dodging, maybe you spam a lot of missiles, maybe you use the barrage instead of spamming, maybe you like to phase dodge or just space jump to plan your next attack. YOU express yourself inside of the game and that feeling of liberation just left me wanting more and the dread came when i completed the game in 11hours, its short yes, like really short for today standards, but its worth it if you are a hardcore Metriod fan.

    This game is not a 10 out of 10 bc i now stepped down the praise and put on the casual player hat on. This game is not friendly to a casual audience and i understand completely if they would want a tone down in difficulty, this game if i was not a hardcore fan i would give an 8 just because of how many people will get discourage from the bosses and the EMMIs (look i don't like QTE either, but at least on bosses you had the choice to do them. not so much on the EMMIs). I didn't mind the EMMIs that much just because how buttery smooth the movement was, I didn't like the parts where they limited the movement i think it was cheap way to handle bad level design.

    You have to "git gud scrub" in this game if you want to beat it and its weird in a Metriod game, I feel you should be able to do both, the overpowered collector with 8 energy tanks before the first boss, and the 3 energy tank sweaty button masher playthrough. I feel this was taken away, for me its great, but that is 50% less options to play through the game, feeling a little bit restricting and I sympathize. But i urge people that are feeling like this to plow trough and "git gud" I can tell you this game deserve its.

    I left the story for last, there is not much to talk about only that they talk to much for Metriod game standards (imo). But it was ok, i enjoyed it, it had "Gasps" and "wow that's cool" moments, it finally ended the Samus arch as a chozo/metriod/x parasite/bountyhunter/robot/human/waifu (they surely cant keep on adding stuff to their dna) but i feel its more for the ones that have kept with the series and know the lore, casuals will find it whatever-ish.    … Expand

    I was not expecting this game to be a masterpiece. Having played Samus Returns and thinking it was okay, while I was very excited for Dread, I was a little wary. Everything took time to grow on me. But once it did, oh boy was it an incredible experience.

Having played Samus Returns and thinking it was okay, while I was very excited for Dread, I was a little wary. Everything took time to grow on me. But once it did, oh boy was it an incredible experience.

    The world and exploration are top of the line. This is coming from someone who's played Hollow Knight, Ori, and most Metroids. It almost beats Super Metroid in terms of pure exploration. For 99% of the game, you are alone and out in the open. You make your own way through the vast, huge world, with no markers or signs to guide you. You are very slightly guided by your computer, ADAM, but this only happens a couple of times in the game, and the hints he gives you are very vague. And the world of ZDR is fantastic itself. The way things link together with new paths opening left and right is genius. I especially want to shout out to the people who worked on the world, because it is so, so good.

    The movement in this game is phenomenal. Controlling Samus is a dream, and this game sports the best controls and movement out of any Metroid game prior. It takes what Super, Fusion, and Samus Returns built and expands it in a remarkable way. Plus with new additions like the slide and dash melee, it just adds up to a great control set.

    The presentation has been a bit of a divisive subject. Some people think the game looks fantastic, while others say it looks like a mobile game. You have to remember that this is running on an almost 5-year-old piece of hardware. It's not going to have the next-gen stuff that a lot of people have been getting used to seeing lately. Yes, this game would have paired great with some sort of Switch Pro, but MercurySteam had to work with what Nintendo gave them, and I think they pulled it off excellently. The lighting and character models are extremely impressive, and areas are filled with a ton of detail that really adds to the overall atmosphere. And don't even get me started on the animations. This is a bit of a hot take, but this may very well be the best-animated game ever, at least from a 2.5D perspective. The animations are just filled with so much fluidity and detail it's ridiculous. I don't think the movement would have been what it is without the animations, it adds so much. The performance was surprisingly good, too. This game kept a solid 60fps about 99% of the time. There were a few random hiccups in my playthrough, but it wasn't super distracting, and it was usually in areas where I didn't need every frame. It would have been nice if it would have been a locked 60 though, but this could be something that they patch later on. I'll update this review if that happens. So overall, I think the team did a great job with what they were given presentation-wise. I would have loved to see this on a more powerful system, though.

    I'm gonna go rapid-fire on the last few things I want to mention, so here we go.

    Bosses: Genuinely some of the best bosses Metroid has ever had. They're all very strategic, difficult, and look great. A lot of them are almost like a puzzle that you need to figure out, and once you do, it's very satisfying.

    EMMI: Overall I was impressed with the EMMI. They led to some extremely tense situations, especially early game when you are pretty underpowered. But the fear and tension go away after a while. They never become a drag or anything, but they're just not as impactful. All and all, though, they were very fun and super satisfying to parry might I add.

    Difficulty: This game is HARD. Like really hard. I was surprised by how difficult it was, especially from a Nintendo game. However, it wasn't too hard to the point where it was unfair or frustrating. They supply you with things like checkpoints to ease the sting a little bit if you die. This game never had me ragequit, which I will admit some games have in the past.

    Story: This will be brief since I don't want to spoil anything, but the story is surprisingly good. Metroid games are usually pretty light on the story, but I was pleased with how this one played out. It hooks you in pretty well and has a very satisfying ending that puts a neat little bow on things.

    Soundtrack: This will be the last thing I touch on. I am a huge soundtrack person. I love video game music, and I think it's a big part of what makes a game special. At first, I was pretty disappointed with Dread's soundtrack. It's a lot of atmospheric, laid-back tunes that I wasn't too keen on at first. But after a while, I could see why they made this decision. The quiet, creepy tunes really add to the atmosphere of this game, and I think they ended up pulling it off.

    Well, I'm running out of characters so I'll wrap this up. I hope I persuaded you to play this game if you were on the fence before. I think fans of the action/ exploration genres will really like it. It has its flaws here and there, but what game doesn't? With all that, I give Metroid Dread a 10/10.

    The best 2d metroid since Super Metroid. This is an entry made with Metroid purists in mind, who didn't like the narrative heavy and linear elements of Fusion. The game drops you in the middle of the map, and, outside of some brief cutscenes, leaves you to your own devices to explore the way it should be.

A great way of making it challenging for people looking for something not overly easy or complicated. For those flagging this game with zero stars don't pay attention to them. They're paid trolls, who will stop at nothing to discredit the good works of the developers.

    *Valoración historia*
    Una brillante secuela de Metroid Fusion, el halo de misticismo y letalidad del planeta ZDR combinada con la introducción de los nuevos personajes, dejan a Samus en un escalafón de poder bastante bajo, que durante la experiencia sube hasta equipararse, esto unido a la sangre fría digna de una cazarrecompensas como Samus, hace que argumentalmente este juego sea un acierto, todo esto sin contar como recuerda al legendario Super Metroid.

    An excellent return to form for the Metroid series. Engaging boss battles and maze like planet to explore full of inventive power ups both new and old are used to effectively tell the most cinematic Metroid game to date. This final entry in the original Metroid v X saga is a fitting conclusion to the legendary saga. 10/10

    My right thumb hasn't felt like this in 20 years. But, after hours of frantic button pressing, it's finally raw again. I missed this. The game is a masterpiece. It's satisfying, engaging, and compelling. Everything I loved in past Metroids is still there. The new stuff works. It makes me feel like I'm a kid back in 1994. Thank you, Nintendo.

    And finally the story. The story is just brilliant, and really is a worthy conclusion to the storyline of the metroids and the x parasites. I am excited to see what Metroid 6 will hold with this new entry in the storyline.    … Expand

    la dificultad en algunos jefes hacen que algún jugador casual desista de tener un juego entretenido y no encuentre satisfacción y solo se tope con frustración y en el esquema de controles sean confusos y hasta torpes, para un jugador curtido en la saga le parecerá justo, SIN EMBARGO no se puede clasificar como que el juego no es para todos cuando Nintendo se autodenomina family friendly
    En el apartado visual es muy buen trabajo de la desarrolladora Mercury steam odiado por sus trabajos anteriores en la serie Castlevania y ahora laureado por el trabajo llevado bajo supervisión del mismo Nintendo, el cual nos trae mecánicas del parry vistas en la saga de LOS y el nuevo apuntado de 360 grados que si bien es buen agregado por la desarrolladora no termina de convencer
    En lo musical no hay un tema memorable que nos lleve a glorificar el juego como se escriben algunas opiniones.
    Es de extrañar las batallas con los enemigos clásicos de la saga sin embrago es pasable enfrentar a nuevos villanos aun que no dejen una huella duradera.
    Los enfrentamientos con los EMMIS son mas que un mero tramite y no brinda la sensación de medio con las que se compara con Nemisis de Resident evil

    Jugabilidad: Siendo cortos, Metroid Dread es el mejor Metroide jugable hasta la fecha, el control de Samus es super preciso, con un acción muy dinámica que enriquece muchísimo más el gameplay gracias a una serie de power ups pero esta vez a lo Metroid que iremos recogiendo a lo largo de la aventura los cuales usaremos en mayor o mentor medida , aún así muchos forman un gran equilibrio.

    Sonido: A nivel sonoro la BSO de Dread es bestial, al nivel de las mejores de la saga, provocando una sensacion ambiental en las diversas zonas del planeta ZDR, así como tensión y miedo en las zonas E.M.M.I y epicidad ante los bosses, los cuales ya podemos considerar como de los más difíciles, divertidos y exigentes de toda la saga.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game sits well at a 9 out of 10, maybe just a 8,5 out of 10.
    its only a 9 if you rly enjoy metroid games, and ONLY a 10 if you are a little unreasonable or dont see the faults of the game as faults.
    likewise, this game is hard sometimes, so lower then a 7 is unreasonable also

    in general the middle ground would be 8 - 8,5 - 9

    ive played metroid games for 20 years now, and i have played majority of them.
    ive finished 100% items and the full story

    here is my thoughts, i will spoil stuff, so read with caution

    --------------------------------------------------

    first , this game fixes SO MANY of samus returns flaws its rly nice.
    if you have complaints about SR you will see majority of them fixed here. trust me.
    SR was to me a 7 /10 MAYBE an 8 if you are a HARDCORE fan.

    things it fixes

    -you can skip cutscenes
    -free aim is fixed and is MILES better then SR MILES
    -WAY less repeating bosses, and those who repeat are basically elite enemies
    -no enemy that leaves the room
    -speedbooster
    -crossbombs solve multiple bomb blocks, and you dont stand around waiting bomb by bomb anymore
    -controling samus endgame isnt as taxing as SR where you have to fuse ur hands with the 3ds to play
    -you dont have a mandatory perfect run, as you did with that one diggernaut hunt where you just have to
    nail it or die
    -game looks pretty good, its clear and very smooth
    -its actually difficult, its not busting ur balls like some other metroidvanias, but it sometimes it can get
    close
    -melee counter isnt restricting you anymore and feels overall way better
    -there is some depth here

    ----------------------------------------------
    things i want to return in future games

    -storm misssiles, flash shift, cross bombs, scan pulse need all to return and become a staple of
    metroid games
    -keep elite enemies, its nice having BIG enemies in the maps that are not boss enemies, just big
    and impressive
    -multiple ways to beat the bosses
    -sequence breaking needs to stay, and get a LIL bit expanded upon
    -the challenges to get missiles and health where decently difficult, and i would like more of this
    -i liked the amount of voice acting, it was rly rly nice, even samus talks in a respectful way, keep it this way
    i rly enjoyed that, though it can be a lil more too from samuses part
    -the map is interconnected, and that was great, EXEPT that 1 area in ghavoran, you can only go back to
    the other half with a teleport to another map, then walk it back up, which is a big why.
    - recharge stations that replenish ALL energy and weaponry

    ---------------------------------------------- what i want improved upon -the ending is just ending... i feel there was a samus adam conversation here we needed desperatly like we had in fusion, this might be one of my biggest gripes with the story. i have unanswered questions about the end, and i needed them in this game. -more improvements to the melee counter, i think you need to look at DMC 4-5 royal guard, you can block EVERYTHING, that is something we need too, if its an attack, you should be able to counter it. even if its a projectile, and i dont even care, make it hard. royal guard in dmc in general is some realy high skill **** just keep it optional -more hidden and secret abilities like, i wish we had 2 secret bosses and 1 secret puzzle that unlock more stuff this can be rly hard, and could also reward some op **** examples diffusion missiles ( fusion), super missile beam combo, more flash shift dashes, screw attack flash shift an addtional beam upgrade, ball booster from the prime series to move faster in ball form, spiderball -additional content in hard mode, i think hard mode should maybe change some things up above i said give me secret bosses and abilities / puzzles, you could add them and new map pieces at some point, only in hard mode or fusion mode -fusion mode.. -speedbooster was nice, but i hate that is has to be activated, let me choose to have it always active or having to activate it. it was annoying to press that button all the time. shinespark could have less charge time, in other games you just shinespark a bit faster, it was less dramatic. -let me do my own button layouts, please. perhaps implement other metroid game controls as options to play. that be nice. -the game almost felt a little to clean and lit up it works for the emmi zones but next time have maybe a few more old dark abandoned zones that are filled with dust. so the air feels thick. i was missing this. ------------------------------------------ if i had to discribe the game then its much more fusion then super metroid. i hope now that mercury has cracked the code, next time they do the 10/10 we are so close to perfection,    … Expand

    Juego divertidisimo con alma de metroid de super nintendo pero con un entorno grafico increible y una fluidez que acompaña un gameplay espectacular, la verdad en los trailer no me llamo tanto la atención pero al jugarlo fue adictivo. Muy recomendado!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I admit that I am a huge fan of the difficulty of this game. It reminds me of the first time playing Metroid on the Nes in the 80's as a kid. Something new is the sliding and using your environment to fight the E.M.M.I.… Expand

    About 3 hours in, and having a great time. Movement is super responsive and combat feels good so far. I really enjoy the E.M.M.I sections, I do love the slightly panicked hunter-becomes-the-hunted vibe they create with the atmosphere in those parts. Story seems ok, although story has always kind of taken a back seat to the gameplay in 2D Metroid games for me. I’ve played enough to know I'mAbout 3 hours in, and having a great time.

    This is definitely my goty, and maybe my new favorite metroid game.

    Dread is hard, the hardest in the franchise, but it never felt unfair. The controls felt a bit wonky at first, but after some time to get used to them, it feels so smooth to control samus.

    Must buy for all switch owners.

    Gostei de tudo no game.
    Esse 2.5 d ficou muito bonito e as mecânicas de jogo são bastante similares ao Returne of Samus do 3DS.
    Comigo não ocorreu o tal bug que fecha o game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a damn near perfect metroidvania. Great graphics, smooth controls, a dynamic world, and great gameplay. The soundtrack is not super memorable, but it suits the gameplay and world perfectly. The EMMI encounters are amazing and some of the most intense moments I've had in any game in recent memory. It's the SAX on steroids. The AI and pathfinding is really impressive, and the EMMI animations are really cool. If I have one problem with the game, its that I wish there were more EMMI encounters. Of the seven EMMI in the game, the first is a tutorial, and the last is basically just a cutscene. I wish the last one could have had more of a chase sequence. However, this is a minor issue, and a small problem in a game with almost no major issues.… Expand

    After 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.

    Taking 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.
