This is an amazing value for a Special Edition. The art book is gorgeous, as are the art cards, and steel book. The game is simply incredible. I’ve been waiting years for this. The only problem is that Best Buy damaged the box of my special edition and could not replace it because it was out of stock and wouldn’t even give me a discount despite it being their fault. I really am not happy about that.

This game is awesome. I loved it. Btw, even though it says "digital" on the item's name (metroid dread special edition), YOU DO GET the cartridge inside the metal case. That is because there is no such thing as digital version of the special edition. So buy it with confident, enjoy it and love it. Lol. The only 2 problems I got were with Best buy. First, because they never sent me the promised stickers included with my purchase. And second, the item box came beat up due to cheap packaging from best buy. I even contacted them about the stickers but they said they couldnt send them to me. So I lost that. But best buy experience aside, this game will not dissapoint. Please check the pictures attached to this review for visual details.

I love this game, gameplay, and the difficulty! That deserves 5 stars alone. The steel book case and art is also beautiful.

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.

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.
