Oct 9, 2021What 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!

Oct 9, 2021The perfect continuation of an amazing saga! Metroid Dread is well worth the 19 year wait and brings the series into the current generation seamlessly
-
Oct 9, 2021Metroid Dread is my favorite game so far, it has exploration elements from Super Metroid, and as you go on it manages to seamlessly morph into metroid fusion getting more tense as you go on. The game is super hard, and that stands out especially since most Nintendo games are pushovers now. I can not recommend it enough!
-
Oct 9, 2021The best game I played this year.
The game is fun and agile, the gameplay is fluid and tasty, I hope it has a continuation and dlc. -

Oct 9, 2021This game is fantastic! Great storyline, a thrilling and fast paced experience. I will say that this game IS HARD. This could be a positive or a negative depending on personal preferences, but personally I think it is great to have a challenge and a game that actually takes effort to beat.
-
Oct 9, 2021Really amazing game. The best Metroidvania of the decade! Emmi encounters are terrifying and bosses are difficult. I 100% recommended buying this game if you are a fan of adventure games, metroidvanianas or the like!

Oct 9, 2021Its just bonza! Wow they really made a special game here. Nostalgia is a powerful thing but truly this is on par or better than Super Metroid. The great quality of life improvements and balance of difficulty is just all the right ingredients. Watch out Metroidvania games, the Queen is back!

-
Oct 9, 2021I can’t believe I’m finally playing a new metroid game! The controls and movement are actually really fun. After you get used to the movement style and can start jumping and maneuvering quickly it becomes a lot more fun.

Oct 10, 2021Metroid Dread is a game of the year contender, no question. With a engaging story, addicting gameplay, and an experience that will really test your skill, Dread is newcomer friendly while also being tough as nails like it's pervious titles like Super Metroid.
I couldn't rate it higher enough. Metroid Dread is an instant classic and a must buy for any Switch owner. Metroid is back. -

Oct 10, 2021Tenía tiempo de no disfrutar tanto un juego, es demasiado bueno, los movimientos de Samus son muy buenos y los escenarios y enemigos están muy bien diseñados, un 10 seguro!!
-
Oct 15, 2021The game is just awesome! The game design we all know from metroid games is back with a fresh stealth touch that made it so much more fun! Visuals, movement, ambience everything is great! My only complain is with the soundtrack. Despite not being bad, it`s just not so epic as in previous entries. But nothing that change my opinion after all. Metroid dread is a must play!

Oct 10, 2021Juego hecho con cariño, mantiene la esencia Metroid de las 4 entregas anteriores y al mismo tiempo se siente fresco. Pule lo existente y al mismo tiempo innova respecto a las mecánicas de juego.
Supera con facilidad las expectativas de quien lo juegue.
Compra obligada. -
Oct 10, 2021This game is the perfected formula of metroid samus return, the graphics and sound levels are impressive. The story is simple as every metroid game, but for me, the goal of this game has always been the exploration and gameplay. thanks to the best spanish studio Mercurysteam and nintendo for rescuing this beautiful saga.

Oct 10, 2021Es un juego exelente que continua de una muy buena maera la saga de metroid que bo tenia una entrega desde hace un buen tiempo
-
Oct 10, 2021Una obra maestra. Jugabilidad exquisita para el metroid más dinámico y fluido de todos. Posible candidato al goty, por méritos propios. Jugar este juego en la nueva switch oled es algo totalmente indescriptible. Sin duda, estás entregas de metroid en 2d deberían de quedarse en manos de Mercury Steam para siempre.
-
Oct 10, 2021Easily one of the best games of this year so far, those like me who grew up playing 2d games will find Dread fun and challenging simply amazing
-
Oct 10, 2021Nunca había calificado un juegos, pienso que este a sido de las mejores experiencias que el año nos a dado, tanto jugable como argumentalmente
-
Oct 10, 2021Me encanta el juego y su profundidad, la atmósfera está conseguida como los títulos anteriores y los paisajes de fondos son muy animado llegando al punto de creer que se acercan los bichos.
El brillo de la armadura es excelente y la trama de la historia de sobrevivir me gusta. -
Oct 11, 2021Magnífico regreso de Samus, sin lugar a duda el mejor desde Super Metroid, jugabilidad impecable, música y trama cardiaca con los E.M.M.I.
-
Oct 10, 2021Desde el primer momento que mueves a Samus sabrás que jugarlo será genial. Es un juego difícil , pero con cada boss superado, secreto descubierto, camino encontrado y retó superado te recompensa el esfuerzo. Y si hay un modos de dificultad. Difícil y Muy difícil, lol. Este juego me recordó todos los juegos anteriores, pero con mecánicas pulidas al extremo. Totalmente recomendable!!
-

Oct 10, 2021Excellent game. Difficulty and fear factor is amped up from other Metroid games. Audio just awesome!!!
-
Oct 10, 2021Great game all around. Visuals, Frame rate and sound. Only complaint is that the controls are hard to get used to. Definitely up there with BOTW and some of the other greats specifically made for the the Switch.
-
Oct 13, 2021This was my first Metroid and it's so good that it immediately made me want to play more. The tough but fair difficulty, awesome story, top-notch level design and progression, and some of the best boss battles I've ever played, these were some of the best 13 hours that I've spent on a video game. if you own a Switch, buy this. 10/10
-
Oct 10, 2021This is the one of the ultimate Project ever made in metroid series.
The storytelling is wonderful and the action of this game has overwhelmed the series.
If you are fan of metroidvania, this game is essential to play -
Oct 10, 2021Metroid Dread es una de las mejores experiencias que puedes encontrar en el mundo de los videojuegos. Es un juego único que consigue ser un juego perfecto gracias a su atmosfera, su fluidez en el gameplay, su capacidad de inmersión, su banda sonora y su espectacular diseño de niveles.

Oct 12, 2021Ame el juego, simplemente hermoso y realmente espero que saquen alguna otra entrega en 2D.
-
Oct 10, 2021the ambient music, the great scenes in which if you lose your way they consume you hours of speedrun, how well guided its plot. Unquestionably the best lateral scrolling control ever seen and they can give the examples they want and they won't reach this level. So as not to gut anything, he left it there, it's just a part

Oct 10, 2021Mejor Metroid 2D hasta la fecha, MercurySteam lo ha dado todo para ofrecernos una de las mejores experiencias que la Switch tiene para ofrecer. Te hace usar todas tus habilidades en combate, y lo hace de forma satisfactoria. Está diseñado de manera que te premia por realizar "sequence breaking", algo que muchos fans de la saga valoran. La pelea final es una delicia.
-
Oct 10, 2021Im in love with this game, Mercury Steam didn't stutter making a game with a difficulty that not everyone can handle and at the same time, it doesn't feel over the top difficult. The world is complex, well design, love the backgrounds and environments, music and cutscenes, the final boss really is the Cherry on top!! 10/10 for Metroidvannia fans!

-
Oct 10, 2021i can understand why as a non-metroid fan you wouldn't really care for this game, but as a fan of the series it hits every note perfectly.
-
Oct 10, 2021Gran final para el arco argumental de Samus con los metroid, excelente jugabilidad y un diseño artístico a la altura, Mercury Steam hizo un gran trabajo con este juego mejorando lo logrado con Samus returns, totalmente recomiendo comprar el juego.
-
Oct 17, 2021Juegazo, el mejor Metroid 2D sin duda. Grandes Mercury Steam. Jugabilidad perfecta, sensacional la tensión de los EMMI, combates frenéticos contra jefes y un inmenso mapa por explorar con un gran arsenal de poderes. Larga vida a Samus!!
-
Oct 10, 2021realmente este se lleva el premio a la mejor secuela de juego alguno, la espera de años valio la pena
-
Oct 10, 2021This is basically my first metroid game and all I can say is WOW it's so fun, I was worried that this game would be very hard to new comers but I'm able to manage and make my way through the game the exploration is top notch and the upgrades are so satisfying so worth it

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.
