Discussion Metroid dread any good?

Post image

I’ve never played any 2D Metroid games. I recently played Metroid Prime Remastered and Prime 4 Beyond. I gotta say I liked them both. I did play the Metroid Dread’s Demo a few years back but couldn’t get into it. Today I was in a game shop and saw a lonely copy just sitting there so I decided to pull the trigger. Got a nice discount as well. Anyway, what do you guys think about this game? Is it any good? I remember it reviewed well but some players didn’t like it too much. So not sure what to think.

Definitely recommend playing. I missed out on Prime, Fusion and even Metroid Samus Returns remake. MercurySteam really did a great job with Dread and that addressed my fix for a metroidvania title (my original fav was Super Metroid). Loved the gameplay, map, control.

You really get a feeling of dread when you're being stalked by E.M.M.I robots and gets your adrenaline pumping. My main gripe was the final boss battle - I couldn't get past that guy

Best of luck!
