Oct 12, 2021De maneira geral, Samus Returns tornou toda a experiência de Metroid mais ágil e a própria Mercury Steam repete a dose com mais intensidade em Dread. A nova aventura de Samus Aran é um título que honra o próprio legado, mas em alta velocidade – e com muita tensão.

Oct 10, 2021Phenomenal Metroid game. Very few flaws. High difficulty, but fair. Tight controls. Good music. Epic engaging boss battles. Great visuals and atmosphere. This is why the genre is called METROIDvania. Better than Super Metroid? It's a tough call, but I'm leaning towards yes. Yes, really.
-
Oct 12, 2021MercurySteam make one of the bests Metroid games ever. An honest tribute to the games that make this genre so incredible.
-
Oct 10, 2021It is appreciated how mercurysteam managed to bring this generation to this metroid, using everything learned from the metroid II samus return and improving it in all aspects, just maybe the soundtrack could be better but it smells like a competition to goty 2021

Oct 29, 2021From all the Metroids (all) and Metroidvanias i played, this one is the worse Metroid and just a medicore Metroidvania.
Way to hard, way to repetetive, the controls are aweful, the map looks confusing, graphics are ok-ish and the playtime isn't worth the price, especially not for a 2D game. Sometimes you even have to find secrets to find your way. SECRETS to PROGRES. Srsly? -

Oct 10, 2021Un poco complicado al principio por que huyes y corres y te pones nervioso jaja pero luego cuando le coges el truco es frenético! Excelente!

What a well-made masterpiece! Dread is my best Switch game of 2021. No doubt. -
Oct 10, 2021Thank you so much to Mercury Studios and Nintendo, Metroid Dread right now is the best game ever I played it, the fun and the challenge definitely gives me the most satisfying time, everybody has to play it.

Oct 10, 2021Esta bueno, me gusta la saga metroid, es muy buen juego para introducirse a la saga, me gusto su jugabilidad, y ya no soy critico para decir mas.
-
Oct 12, 2021El mejor metroid 2d que he jugado.
No apto para las nuevas generaciones que buscan que todo el juego te lleven de la mano y si me refiero a los tipos de NintenDúo. -

Oct 10, 2021El mejor metroid de la saga principal con muy buena dificultad y diseño de niveles, sin duda el mejor juego del 2021
-
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 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 10, 2021The game is a love letter to long time fans, this wasn’t my first metroid, it is fun to see the progression of the gameplay of the metroid franchise It feel new and familiar at the same time, definitely one of the best metroid games
-
Oct 10, 2021Great progress has been made in the picture and playing method. The only defect is that there are few contents. You can get through the plot in about ten hours
-
Oct 10, 2021Played over 20hrs and I can say it was one of the best experiences I had. Been waiting for a proper continuation to Fusion and we got it. If you want to play the best of Super and Fusion this is the game for you can't recommend it enough!

Oct 11, 2021Metroid Dread is without a doubt the best Metroid ever, surpassing even Super Metroid. It's a game that can bring old and new players together. It has an excellent setting, fair difficulty, great gameplay and exceptional outcome. Impeccable game in everything it proposes!

Oct 12, 2021The game was everything I hoped it would be. The atmosphere was amazing, and the music was original while also including some great remix’s
The gameplay was also phenomenal. All the upgrades were amazing, and every upgrade was used in a meaningful way. Best 2d Metroid for me, I loved it -
Oct 12, 2021I am a follower from nes and I really had some fear that the work was in the hands of mercury steam but in truth they have done a perfect job
-
Oct 12, 2021Nunca me había acercado a la saga Metroid, y me esta pareciendo muy bueno, muy buenas mecánicas, muy adictivo. Un 10
-
Oct 12, 2021This is probably my favorite Metroid game with Super Metroid, it's just that good!
-
Oct 12, 2021Surprised this is a switch game, makes me excited for Metroid as a franchise and the switch being able to play games that are usually process intense with some optimization, and the quality being much hi other when a hardware update releases, one of the best Metroids I’ve got to play.
-
Oct 12, 2021Excelente juego, estuvo a la altura de lo que esperamos por años de esta saga. La historia atrapa al jugador, un gran juego que revive a Metroid.

Oct 12, 2021Honestly, i think this game is pretty fun. the game itself is good and the controls are also good. but those robots that chase you are so damn annoying and random. 8 out of 10.
-
Oct 14, 2021Metroid Dread is probably the Best Metroidvania ever made. Masterpiece. Everything about this game just perfect.

-
Oct 10, 2021Hermoso. Espléndido. Increíble. Magnífico! No tengo palabras para describir este juegazo. Tantos tiempo anhelando la secuela de metroid fusion y la espera valió la pena. Un apartado gráfico exquisito, dificultad como cualquier metroid. La típica exploración y el buscar objetos. Una jugabilidad tan agradable y fácil de comprender. Juegazo
-
Oct 13, 2021This game is a 10/10 and deserves nothing lower, this is a perfect sequel to fusion and the difficulty is just right and adds a hard mode upon completion for those seeking a challenge
-
Oct 10, 2021No suelo escribir opiniones pero siendo un juego que esperaba desde hace tantos años y que simplemente me ha fascinado necesitaba compartir mis sensaciones. Honestamente si les gustan los metroidvanias este es un "must play" no dejen pasar la oportunidad de probarlo

-
Oct 11, 2021Awesome. No words are enough for describe how awesome this game is. Even the problems are trivial. How proud I am to be a Metroid fan.
-
Oct 11, 2021All what we can ask for a metroid.
Fantastic backtracking, controls, design, powers and cinematics. -
Oct 11, 2021After nearly 2 decades since the last new entry in the 2D Metroid, Mercury Steam have done the seemingly impossible. They surpassed Super Metroid.
Metroid Dread is the new Standard not only for the Metroid series but all of Metroidvania going forward.All we now can hope is that Metroid Dread sells well enough for Nintendo to Greenlight the next Metroid. -
Oct 11, 2021Excelente juego , te regresa a esos tiempos de súper Metroid.Excelentes controles , una atmósfera que te sumerge totalmente en el juego.
-
Oct 11, 2021Great return to new adventure from Nintendo and Mercury Steam. This game is pushing the switch but it is also optimize for the system no day one patch! Controls get bit of getting used to but Samus moves smooth especially with the new Slide move.
-
Oct 9, 2021Absolutely brilliant. The bosses are hard, and the traversal is smoother than any other metroidvania out there.
-
Oct 10, 2021Hell of a game from start to finish. Heart beat finally back to normal after finishing off all of the E.M.M.I.s. Easily the best Metroid has ever been and puts other games in its genre to shame.

Oct 11, 2021El mejor juego del año y el mejor Metroid en 2D, animaciones super fluidas, controles precisos, variedad de ataques, mapeado fantástico, sesaciones de todo tipo, jefes increibles y juego retante. Para mi mejor imposible, 10/10. Obra maestra. Gracias a Mercury Steam y a Nintendo. Larga vida a Metroid¡¡

Oct 14, 2021Video game puro sem querer ser filme ou anime, a essencia de metroid intacta , com novos recursos visuais fantasticos, som perfeito e uma jogabilidade suplema, ou quem quer se divertir com games esse é indespensavel, ainda bem que a nintendo para nos trazer um tipo de desafio como.

Oct 31, 2021Super Spiel an sich, aber durch die emmis nervt es mich so sehr das ich kein bock hab ab der Hälfte des Spiels weiterzuspielen und dadurch kann ich auch nicht mehr Punkte geben . Ohne emmis wäre es eine 10,so halt eine 0. gibt besseres auf dem Markt, für weniger geld

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.
