    Metroid dread is a pretty good game and a game of the year contender. The gameplay is worth getting.

    Despite the name, don't expect this to be in the metroidvania genre -- it's much too linear for that.

Rather than exploring an world that gradually opens up, you're ferreted down a set of corridors where the set dressing could pretty much be swapped out for another. There's no world building, no environmental storytelling. I think part of what made Super Metroid, SotN, Hollow Knight, and even Dark Souls so appealing was that they presented a cohesive and interconnected world. That feeling is lost as you're through teleporters to completely unrelated areas. So far, it feels like Metroid:Dread is to Super Metroid what Final Fantasy XIII was to Final Fantasy VI.

    The new gimmick added to the game is a set of enemies which are all carbon copies of each other which can instakill you and most of the time are unkillable. This tries to be suspenseful as you run around the portion of the map that they're in -- hence the "Dread" subtitle. They even rumble the joycons like a heartbeat to let you know that you're *supposed* to be scared. But this ends up being tedious, annoying, and boring more than anything else. So it seems like it tried and failed at being a survival horror as well.

    Lastly, the load times. The game has them. For a 2.5D platformer. In the year 2021.

    All in all, if you remove the Nintendo and Metroid branding you end up with a harmless but forgettable title that would have sold on steam for $15-$20 but few people would pick up unless it as on sale for $10 or less. Certainly not with the money.    … Expand

Some of the missles and what not are impossible for me. And that leads me to my final point: I am old and you need crab/lobster like hands to be able to "get good" at this game. I have carpal tunnel now thanks to this game. Did the developers try playing this game in handheld mode? My joycons are not the best.… Expand

    METROID DREAD

    an excellent experience in my opinion, samus's mobility is very agile, the difficulty is one that all video games should have, the graphics and cinematics are works of art, and it performs like a good metroid vania

The world design is a little bland with samey metallic hallways in the early game, but the polish given makes it one of the best looking Switch games out there, putting it on par with something like Xenoblade 2. It delivers a lot. Sci-fi, adventure, action, and with the E.M.M.I robots adds an element of horror. So if your a Nintendo fan that want's more Metroid, buy the game, and you'll get more of it.… Expand

Simply yes, very much so. Metroid Dread brings the classic Metroidvania gameplay, (which has recently become even more popular with games such as Hollow Knight and Ori) and takes it to a whole new level with amazing never before seen gameplay features. Samus begins finding herself in the multi-level planet ZDR with the goal of escaping back to her ship. After being attacked, she wakes up without any of her abilities other then a basic blaster and missiles. Then you begin, the game throws you right into the excitement immediately. The first few hours of the game can feel a little bit too linear, but as you progress and get more abilities the world starts to open up and make you feel like you can go almost anywhere. Of course, classic abilities like the morph ball and bombs make a return, but brand new are the Aeon abilities which allow all new gameplay options never before seen in the series. The Aeon abilities use the Aeon gage which is always on screen and is a bar that when is full allows you to use your abilities. This bar system keeps them from being too powerful. All of the abilities and movement options are seamless to control and feel great to pull off. The moment to moment gameplay will have you exploring the various areas, and destroying enemies. Learning enemy patterns and how to counter them is key to taking them down fast. The vast areas might make you feel lost and not know where to go, but the map system helps you figure out where you are, and places you haven’t yet been, which helps you seek out places to go. There are two major parts of the gameplay that bring Metroid Dread to the next level, and those are the boss fights and E.M.M.I. zones. The E.M.M.I. zones are by far the most unique and interesting part of the game. Basically a massive part of the map (which you’ll know you’re in because of the E.M.M.I. doors) where a robotic creature named, the E.M.M.I. lives with one goal, destroy samus. If the E.M.M.I. catches up to you, YOU WILL DIE, you have 2 very small windows to counter but they are insanely hard to pull off so don’t rely on it. The E.M.M.I. zones really add a nice change of pace from the rest of the game that is heavily appreciated. Now the most challenging part of Metroid Dread: the boss battles. Some of the most challenging boss fights I’ve ever done in a Nintendo game are these… so hard but very fair at the same time. You get a savepoint right before each boss battle so you can keep trying as much as you’d like. This means that you get multiple attempts to learn the bosses attack patterns until you master it and can do the battle in one run. This simple feature can keep the fights fun, yet insanely challenging. To finish off, the games presentation. The backgrounds of each room really helps immerse you in the experience and its really wonderful to see so much detail in every part of the map the visuals are just absolutely stunning. The game has a few instances where it seamlessly transitions between gameplay and cutscene, sadly the cutscenes run in 30fps while the rest of the game is 60fps. Its not a big deal, but it is very noticeable. One of the biggest weaknesses is the music, none of it is bad, but theres also no standout hits which is disappointing considering how good some of the past metroid games soundtracks are. But the music doesn’t take away from the experience. In conclusion, Metroid Dread brings a satisfying gameplay loop, challenging bosses, and beautiful art direction, I’m excited to see the future of the series!… Expand

The powerups always feel great when you get them because a place where they would have come in handy is almost always fresh in your mind. The EMMI keep the danger high even when the ordinary enemies have become trivial. And the boss fights are varied, all feeling special and unique, and demand that you use most of the abilities you've acquired.

    Metroid Dread was a torrential monsoon that came out of left field during a time of drought in the Metroid community. Samus Returns on 3DS was a decent addition, albeit a remake of an older title, but Dread was a game that surpassed expectations of a Fusion remake and instead delivered one of the most solid, fluid, and rewarding Metroid games to exist.

    Taking a page out of Samus    Metroid Dread was a torrential monsoon that came out of left field during a time of drought in the Metroid community. Samus Returns on 3DS was a decent addition, albeit a remake of an older title, but Dread was a game that surpassed expectations of a Fusion remake and instead delivered one of the most solid, fluid, and rewarding Metroid games to exist.

    Taking a page out of Samus Returns' book in control and gameplay, Dread perfected the free moving reticle its 3DS processor introduced. It drops you into a new world to explore with some of the most nefarious lore in a Nintendo game, even for Metroid standards. The dark, foreboding atmosphere is back and the navigation once again is top notch! I'm always impressed on how well designed Metroid maps are and how much forethought went into them to prevent you from getting soft locked. The attention to detail is very praise worthy.

    While slightly more difficult than most 2D Metroids, Dread feels completely fair, if not very testing of how well you're able to utilize all the skills you've acquired throughout the game. A lot of the enemies are tough, but unlike other games (*cough*Souls*cough*), you feel like all of your deaths were from mistakes you made that can easily be corrected rather than feeling like you got B.S.ed out of a fair fight. The victories are rewarding, motivating you to continue playing with new abilities to make your exploration more fun; you'll want to keep playing despite its difficulty, especially towards new players to the Metroid series. I would not recommend this be the first 2D Metroid game people play, as I feel like saving this game for last in your Metroid journey will help you appreciate the evolution the series has gone through and see how the controls have evolved.

    Story-wise, there's so much shown here to connects so many events together from previous games. It may not be the most seamless and flawless story and at times feels like a couple of things have been retconned, but that doesn't take away from the subtle story telling hints you find along the way and uncovering the behind-the-scenes lore that fans have only theorized about previously. It's not perfect, but it fills a gap and it's a satisfying story that unmasks possibly my new favorite villain in the Metroid universe!

    This is a definite must-own game for the Switch! It's a game that not only the series needed, but the console needed as well. While fans were rain dancing for updates about Metroid Prime 4, they were delivered with one of the greatest 2D platformers ever made, let alone on the Switch! The pride and passion put into the game is commendable and makes me confident to know that the Metroid franchise is in good, loving hands.    … Expand

It's such a fun game, the combant is fluent, is extremely fun to experiment with your attacks, the devs thought about the possibility of getting the "flash shift" and "bomb" items before a boss you have to fight in order to progress because if you get these items (wich you aren't supposed to get before this boss) you can use them to fight this boss, you can even find a certain platform that allows you to use the bombs against this boss.
    The story isn't very special, but it's interesting enough to get you engaged, and as I said, the gameplay is the main reason this game is so fun and the map design is beautiful and filled with attention to details most people wouldn't even see and it makes you use logic to get certain items.
    You start with nothing and you end up slowly becoming an invincible killing machine, the game is quite hard but never to the degree it feels impossible, making the challenge extremly fun and rewarding.

    My only few complains are:
    1) Sometimes is not obvious where you have to go and the game doesn't help you, it's so easy to get lost I had to look at a playthrough a couple times, it's kind of annoying until you get a certain item further in the game that helps aliviate this problem

    2) Most bosses are extremly fun, but the minibosses are kind of repetitive and do almost the same things, especially the little BRAIN bosses, those where very uninspired and repetitive they're the only bosses I didn't liked

    3) Just like a lot of switch games, I've experienced a few FPS drops, in my fisrt playthrough I didn't have as many (Mainly in loading screens but I don't count them because at that poin I ain't playing, im just waiting for the game to load), but in the second playthrough I did encounter more, is not extremly annoying but it's a valid criticism to keep in mind.

    4) The lenght, this game is relatively short if you know where to go, you can realisticaly finish it in 4 hours if you don't die a single time and know where to go, but thankfully this game has replay value by unlocking new dificulties and unlocking a gallery of photos that you earn depending on how long it took you to finish the game and how many items you collected and they're adding new free content wich is nice (Easier mode, 1 hit kill mode and soon a boss rush mode)

    5) This game, just like every AAA game, is $60, I feel for what it offers is quite high, thankfully I bought a phisical copy that was discounted. I would reccomend you to wait for a discount but if you really want it and wanna spend full price feel free to do so.

    IN CONCLUSION: Amazing game, good story, amazing progress feeling, amazing and fun gameplay. It has it's flaws like repetitiveness, easy to get lost, a few tiny FPS issues and a high price. But those bad things didn't ruined the experience for me, I enjoyed a lot and now im a Metroid fan    … Expand

    Un juego, como es costumbre en esta saga, que te hace empaparte de la soledad que rodea a la protagonista. Un juego en 2D con escenarios muy bien detallados y una banda sonora bastante inmersiva. La maestría de este juego es su jugabilidad; el trabajo hecho en este aspecto ha sido sobresaliente, un juego que por sus mecánicas y lo bien fluido de los controles te hacen querer seguir jugando a pesar de que los enemigos logren eliminarte rápido. Los jefes son un reto, y, algo magnífico de este juego es que, a principios, sientas que estás de muy bajo nivel para derrotarlos;el juego te hace experto en las mecánicas del jefe y cada intentó haces mejor las cosas.
    Pará avanzar en el juego aunque carezca de indicadores es muy intuitivo; lo sientes muy personal y te da ánimos de explorar y mejorar tus stats.
    Algo muy característico de la saga de Metroid es el toque survival horror, esta entrega no es la excepción ;sentirás la angustia, sin spoilear, con sólo escuchar unos sonidos meramente mecánicos para saber que te encuentras ante un peligro enorme.
    La duración del título ha sido una de las críticas más constantes, y, es meramente subjetivo,;me lo pasé en 13 horas. Las cinemáticas son cortas y te dan todo el trama que necesitas sin tener la necesidad de usar el "skip". Siento que la duración de esta entrega es la suficiente, no hay huecos argumentales y te cierran cualquier duda, ;no hay valles en el juego, ; a todo momento es muy dinámico, y te sentirás muy entretenido hora por hora. El precio, como todos los juegos de switch, no es para nada barato;los videojuegos son un lujo en cuanto precio y siento que eso jamás cambiará y todas las críticas contra esto es entendíble ya que cada céntimo invertido por nosotros debe de reflejarse en la calidad del juego. Así que en la comparativa entre precio y calidad es razonable en este título,, para mi ha válido la inversión en dinero y tiempo que le di y por ello lo recomiendo y doy esta reseña. La única crítica que pudiera darle al juego podría ser que ya es tiempo que Nintendo haga de Samus su personaje más adulto de todas sus IPs, me refiero a que, aunque este juego no es para niños, ya se le podría dar en un futuro un toque más crudo, con una violencia justificada sin llegar a lo burdo. Samus tiene el potencial para ello, pero no creo que Nintendo lo llegue a hacer en algún momento.
    Metroid: Dread es un título que debes de dar la oportunidad de probarlo independientemente de que consola seas fan.

The bestiary no longer renews at all, the objects accumulate that the game itself no longer knows what to do with them, we end up collecting a power every quarter of an hour, they are used two or three times and they have no no more use for the main quest, just to recover the collectibles. Along with the storytelling, the game's ending feels extremely rushed in every aspect. The bosses, except for one, are all too simple, unfortunately. The developers were unable to give them a difficult game design other than by making them spam dozens of projectiles for the most part.

    After almost 20 years we finally have a sequel to the 2D series of Metroid games!

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.
