Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the excellent gameplay, overall performance, and well-executed controls of Metroid Dread. Many appreciate the engaging story, exploration, and action-packed nature of the game, while some find the difficulty to be a positive aspect. Criticisms include concerns about certain boss encounters, the price point, and the limited presence of music. Some players also felt the game was a little too linear and that the EMMI zones became repetitive.

    Metroid dread is a very good game. Difficulty is high, but that makes the game very entertaining.

    Why am I doing this to myself?

    If you're a Metroid player from past iterations, you know right away that you're in for a challenge. Sometimes, so much so, that I put the game down for months. Years? Maybe. This is no different. It's infuriating at times. Having to restart or go through missions from the beginning is annoying as... well, you know. You know what though? It's Metroid. And I still love it. So why am I doing this to myself? Because it's hella fun, friends.

    I have never played a Metroid game before it so far it has been a blast. The overall game is excellent. It is hard and some levels frustrating at least for me but once you get past them it does give you a sense of achievement. The sound effects are top notch and the graphics are great for the switch. Overall I recommend it if you are looking for a challenging new game on the switch. if you get easily frustrated then you may want to consider trying the demo first.

    A new 2D Metroid in 2021… What?!?! I’m a kid again

    At 42, this is like being a Kid again. A NEW 2D Metroid?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!! Love it. Exploring is a little tough with EMMI chasing you constantly. Thankfully they are locked in to only specific areas. It does add a matter of tense game play. As soon as you level up some of your abilities they are easier to escape, and there are plenty of areas to save in case they catch you. If you like Metroid at all, BUY IT, BUY IT NOW! A must own/play
