Son loves to play this. Great game to pass the time away.

Great game . I couldn’t put it down. Sad I finished it.

Great game, definitely a great entry in the metroid series.

Fantastic game, long awaited platformer finally came back and totally exceeded my expectations

Great game kinda difficult but worth it would recommend

Nintendo has been frustrating us for years with the painfully slow development of Metroid Prime 4. And while I do still look forward to that game, Metroid Dread has me feeling OK about MP4 taking its sweet time. This game is a reminder on why there is a whole subgenre of action-adventure games called Metroidvanias. This game is a master class and showcasing the elements that make it such a popular gaming formula in the first place. It is certainly not a perfect game, but it is an excellent effort with great care and consideration and how it was made. Hopefully with this engine in place, Nintendo can roll out sequels with greater ease, even if they have ended the original main arc Metroid storyline with this game. The teen rating is there for a reason, I definitely would not encourage younger children to play this game on their own. But that really has more to do with the mood and atmosphere that the gaming environment creates rather than anything that might be considered unsavory or taboo for typical media reasons why parents might turn away from certain games. Welcome back, Samus! May we never see you go with nearly as long of an absence in 2D Metroidvania gaming again!

Old school metroid fan. Good graphics and gameplay.

My son loves this game. It was purchased for Christmas and was the top thing on his list.

Greatest game from Zelda sap that’s y I got a switch like to have Pokémon

Classic game for Metroid fans that have a switch and love action

I have so much fun with this game i can not put it down

Who doesn't appreciate a good 2D Metroid game? That's what you get here, plus a couple of new twists. In Metroid Dread, you'll explore the subterranean depths of the planet ZDR while avoiding the E.M.M.I. robots periodically. Samus can obtain her usual array of weapons and techniques over the course of the game (plus a couple new variations on past ones), but there's also a new counter melee attack which is essential for defeating certain enemies. As for the E.M.M.I. robots, they are a pain to avoid...but they only track you within the confines of their designated zones. Thankfully, you'll eventually obtain an Omega Cannon from each area's core to destroy the respective E.M.M.I. that haunts the region. Metroid Dread probably won't trump Super Metroid due to its nostalgia factor and timeless soundtrack, but it holds its own as a new take on the classic formula. The graphics are some of the nicest to ever grace the Switch, most areas are of a respectable size, and there's plenty of hidden items. After the mediocre Other M, it's nice to see Metroid return to its 2D roots!

THE PRODUCT FULFILLS ITS FUNCTION, I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY IT AGAIN

Loving this so far. Huge fan of the series and this is another great addition.

Super reminiscent of the old Metroid 2D games with its own spin on gameplay.

Its been a long time since a new metroid game was released and the wait was worth it. The game is beautiful and plays and controls extremely well. The story has surprising substance with some nice twists and turns along the way. Must have for the collection and a game I will certainly return to time and time again.

I wish you could give half stars because this game is marvelous and deserves 4.5, but it has a few tedious moments and sometimes, it is almost too challenging, but I don’t mind that.

Love Metroid for a long time, and not having a new entire was very sad. Till Dread was announced and finally released. This game does not disappoint at all. It definitely continue the story from the main Metroid storyline not the Prime series. If you love Metroid or a first timer definitely pick it up if you can.

Fantastic 2D Metroid game. Great gameplay, controls, graphics and atmosphere. Framerate dips a bit in places, but is overall solid. Good replay value with Hard Mode. While there isn't much story to Metroid, what's presented is very good. Very fun game and highly recommended for first timers and veterans alike.

The game strikes a great balance between difficulty and fun. In some areas it’s a little easy to get confused as to where to go if you want to 100% the game, but overall exploring every nook is rewarding. The E.M.M.I robots are a great addition, and can be genuinely unnerving!
