Great game but rough packaging from best buy.
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Im happy enough to even buy a limited edition of metroid dread but come on best buy please pit your limited edition games in a box at least this looked like it got kicked around.(edges in slightly bad condition) also in good news dread has been a good game and a wonderful time highly recommend playing the game.

Metroid Hype
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Even though it says digital in the title, it is the physical cartridge. The book is amazing as well as the Steelbook. If you have this or are having thoughts on getting the Special Edition, I highly recommend if you’re a big fan of Metroid.

Box is opened.
||Posted .The box seal indicates it has been opened. Even though the content aren't missing or damaged, it is very disappointing. Is best buy saleing a returned item as new? In addition, all four corners of the box is damaged because this item was shipped using a bubble envelope. Really. You can do better, best buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Design, Gameplay, Graphics

Great but challenging MetroidVania style game!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Amazing game! Its MetroidVania style gameplay is awesome. Its the most challenging Metroid out there so be ready! Beautiful graphics & tight controls make this one shine, 9/10! It only took about 20 years to come out...

A must for Metroid fans
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.As a big fan of Metroid, I was very excited when I finally was able to get my hands on one of these. The game itself is fantastic, if not one of the best in the entire series. It was very nice finally getting to play a 2D Metroid again with a brand new story. The art book is also very beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the different concept art for Dread as well as some of the other 2D games in the series. The steel book is also very pretty and looks amazing displayed. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is because when it arrived, the box was damaged on the sides. I’m sure that wouldn’t be an issue for some, but for me being a collector it did bother me. The art book also had a little damage on one of the corners, but nothing major and it is very easy to miss. I’m not sure if this is Best Buy’s fault or not, due to the fact I’ve seen several of these online looking like this, but nonetheless it was disappointing. Other than that though, it is still totally worth it and I can’t recommend it enough.

Asked by Eva01.
- A:Answer I’ve seen it happen before- with Creature in the Well -where Best Buy mislabels a physical game as digital (I pre ordered that to pick up in store- it was indeed physical). This will include a physical game cartridge.
