    Muchos años han pasado desde el ultimo capitulo de la saga principal de Samus que hasta pensé que Nintendo la había olvidado como algunos otras sagas de antaño, pero afortunadamente la espera por fin terminó con una entrega que a pesar de estar por debajo de Super Metroid de SNES cumple con las promesas.

Graficamente se ve muy bien y la jugabilidad es bastante fluida y facil de dominar, controlar a Samus nunca se sintió tan rápido y preciso. Los escenarios y el tamaño del mapa es bastante bueno, no presentara problemas para aquellos jugadores que saben de que va un Metroid en toda regla o incluso aquellos que dominan SOTN y Hollow Knight, aun así, si eres unos de los que apenas inicia con este título si pones atención notaras que el juego de da pistas muy fáciles de localizar y que sentirás que no te perdiste por mucho tiempo. Lo único que de manera personal sentí que hizo falta a esta entrega es un banda sonora más pero mucho más épica como en Super Metroid. Estoy ampliamente satisfecho con éste lanzamiento y de verdad espero que Nintendo no la tenga tan abandonada de ahora en adelante.… Expand

Короткая, босы нуторыне и убиваются по одному паттерну. Нужно повторить 3-6 раз одно и тоже действия. То есть вы бьете его потом нужно либо отразить атаку либо нанести свою атаку. И так по кругу до победы. Так же они довольно однообразные. И частенько повторяются. так же они так сделаны, что вы не чувствуете прогрессии. Вы вроде открываете секретки и новые способности. Но каждый босс сильнее раза в 2 или 3 и по этому не важно на сколько хорошо вы исследовали вам со равно будет тяжело его убить. Да и бой может затянуться а это всегда скучно. Последний бос вообще при лучшем раскладе убивается за 10 минут и у него где то 6 или 7 фаз. В общем пробежать один раз сойдет. Но не более.… Expand

    Regreso triunfal de una las franquicias mas emblemáticas de nintendo y que no decepciona de ninguna manera. Poder volver a disfrutar de un metroid clásico pero con graficas geniales, una historia mas que interesante revelando mas del pasado de Samus y el lore de su universo, y todo esto llevado a la pantalla grande.

I don't rate this game lower because of the importance that Super Metroid has had for gaming, but in a universe in which Hollow Knight exists (and costs one fourth of the price of this game), what does Dread bring to the table? Not much, other than its name.… Expand

Das machen andere Plattformer und Metroidvania Spiele besser. Die Erkundung der einzelnen Gebiete hatte mich jetzt auch nicht mehr gereizt, da man nicht wirklich was Tolles hätte finden können. Ob ich nun 2 mehr Raketen verschießen kann oder nicht. Irgendwann hatte man im Verlaufe des Spiels so viele gesammelt, dass es egal war. Und andere Boni gab es nicht wirklich zu finden. Insgesamt war es trotz dessen ein gutes Spiel, welches aber doch durch deutliche Abstriche im Gameplay und den hohen Erwartungen, die man an ein First-Party-Titel (mehr oder weniger) hat, nicht gerecht werden konnte. Demnach vergebe ich lediglich 7 von 10 Punkten für ein unterhaltsames Spiel.
    Wer Metroidvanias sowie im Allgemeinen ein Metroid Fan ist, kann gerne zuschlagen. Alle anderen sollten vorher definitiv die Demo spielen und schauen, ob dieses Spiel was für einen ist.

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

    Nice Metroidvania game. Overall nice look, nice lvl design. The boss fights were fun and so was some of the exploration. On the other hand, the Emmi sections were just cramped. The controls are sometimes fiddly and overloaded. Other platformers and Metroidvania games do that better. Exploring the individual areas hadn't appealed to me anymore, because you couldn't really have found anything great. Whether I can shoot 2 more missiles or not. At some point you had collected so many in the course of the game that it didn't matter. And there weren't really any other bonuses to be found. All in all, it was a good game, but it couldn't live up to the gameplay and the high expectations that you (more or less) have of a first-party title. So I only award 7 out of 10 points for an entertaining game.
    If you're a Metroidvania fan or a Metroid fan in general, you're welcome. Everyone else should definitely play the demo first and see if this game is for you.    … Expand

    Just finished this game and wanted to write a review. The final result left me feeling happy and satisfied. I didn't find the difficulty too hard, just right, and the final boss fight was one of the best fights ive ever had in a game. The sense of progression truly makes you feel like a god at the end.

    So why only an 8? Well, there are problems. Tons of people seem to love the game, so    Just finished this game and wanted to write a review. The final result left me feeling happy and satisfied. I didn't find the difficulty too hard, just right, and the final boss fight was one of the best fights ive ever had in a game. The sense of progression truly makes you feel like a god at the end.

    So why only an 8? Well, there are problems. Tons of people seem to love the game, so im aiming this one at the negatives mostly.

    Emmis.... Dear god what a... DREADFUL idea. Get it?.... Ehm... Anyways, yeah, not the most exciting concept. They basically block you from exploring and are presented as unkillable gods who one shot you. The AI seems to know where you are even when it shouldn't, and the Emmis just roam around only the area you are in. End result is it feels cheap, it feels annoying, I guess I did feel Dread anytime I would enter an Emmi room, but im not sure its the kind that actually adds anything to the game. Mostly hated them.

    Exploration. Well, thats what Metroid is about yeah? Well, I guess not, kind of.... For a good long while you dont actually get to explore much at all, like half the game actually. It felt like I was being forced into specific directions then blocked from exploring, much like the Emmis did. This game seems real set on ensuring you are cut off as often as possible. It does open up later, it does actually get really good, but getting there took some time and it was hard to keep interest.

    UI/Completion - This kind of follows up naturally to exploration. Its why you explore, the items! and well, some sense of achievement. However navigating through the maps was sometimes completely unfun. You would see a place close by, however, because of "interesting" design, a door would just be locked. Yep, locked, no way to open it, Sealed shut. You would then have to go through the awful map, zoom in, and try to figure out another way, which many times ended up being a case of going ALL THE WAY AROUND THE MAP. Please, god, dont ever do this again. If you have paths, just let them be paths. Dont artificially railroad me and make collecting more frustrating then fun. Beyond that, it was just really hard trying to figure out wtf I was looking at on the map. Items weren't always on blinking spots on the map, the game doesn't tell you this, so you would collect 80% of a map items and see nothing at all. You would then have to go through every inch of the map trying to find the one item you are missing and its just not obvious. I should at least KNOW what im missing from items ive already seen. Make it more obvious, I could barely tell what I had already collected vs what I needed to collect. Just not good.

    Information - This is a big one. Whats the most important thing in any game? Understanding how your pieces work, how the game works. Theres no way to play Chess unless you understand the pieces of Chess. This information shouldn't be hidden from you. So then WHY THE HELL DOES THE SHINESPARK HAVE BARELY ANY INFO COVERING IT?!!? How do you not relay information on this? Theres puzzles in this game I unfortunately had to look up how to beat on Youtube, and oh, I saw what was wrong. The game expects me to have expert knowledge of a concept that it hasn't bothered telling me almost anything about (The game briefly tells you to hold down after running, theres multiple mechanics outside of this it just never bothers to tell you). This is a major flop and its a requirement to 100% the game. I will say however once I understood the concept, it was quite fun doing the puzzles. I just shouldn't have to go watch Youtube videos to understand how my character functions.

    Outside of those issues, which are big, the game somehow manages to pull an 8 out of me. I was very, very frustrated at many instances, I had no motivation to finish this after playing about 4-5 hours. It starts slow and feels linear, but man it picks up. The most important thing is how it feels when you finish, and for me, the finish was pretty much a 10, the other aspects were just so awful I cant give the score that 10.

    Gameplay wise, I got just under 15 hours out of it. I spent probably 2-3 hours of that with it paused, not sure if that counts towards it, but either way 12-15 hours seems good to me. I 100% explored everything and theres a Hard Mode if I want to collect more art. If I wanted I could probably beat it again in half the time, thats about 20 hours of gametime. Now if only I can convince myself to want to go through Emmis sequences again...Yikes.    … Expand

This becomes a bigger problem the longer you play as more mechanics are added such as the shinesparking that the game relies way too much on in its shinesparking puzzles, they just arent fun as the solution is ususally obvious, just incredibly frustrating to do. Dreads controls need to be more tight for its difficulty to not feel cheap. Samus still moves with the same segmented crouch, then morph movement she had on snes and the stick sucks for it, the aiming is really good though so im glad they made that work well. The music is the worst from any metroid game, incredibly disappointing. EDIT: Now after reflecting for a while i think i was a bit hard on the game as i had decided to 100% before i started. The games controls become very frustrating first when you do several endgame shinesparking puzzles in a row. Im going to keep the score at a 7/10 because nintendo keeps the price at 60€ though… Expand

Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist nicht zu einfach, vor allem die Boss Fights können sehr herausfordernd sein aber keine Sorge, wenn man mal stirbt, kann man sofort vor dem Raum wieder Anfangen. Die Steuerung im Handheld Modus klappt hervorragend, die Figur reagiert sofort auf die Befehle. Der Soundtrack ist sehr gut und Abwechslungsreich. Negativ finde ich die Emmi, anfangs noch sehr unterhaltsam, wird es auf Dauer einfach nervig, vor allem klappt das Abwehren nicht immer. Zum Glück ist das nur ein kleiner Teil des Spiels und so gebe ich gute 8/10

    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.
