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.

    A fantastic addition to the Metroid series, I've been waiting for years for this game. The gameplay is fantastic and smooth, the environments are engaging and fun to explore, and it truly feels like a Metroid game.

    This game rocked. It was difficult but fun. You have to use a lot of trial and error but the new enemies certainly bring out the dread. Samus is at her coolest.

    I never played Metroid before so I missed a lot. This game is excellent. Castlevania in Space! Action and puzzles to solve and a good challenge in both areas. Boss fights do not disappoint one bit! Get this game!

    This game is awesome!! To me its almost as good as Super Metroid. But its a great sequel none the less. Graphics are great but could have been way better if it was in 4k. Its a long game... definitely not short.

    I love Metroid and the “Metroidvania” style games. The fact that the game that started the genre can come back many years later and bring a phenomenal experience is a testament to how good it really is.

    I’ve been waiting a long time from Metroid game. I’m in the middle of it and I’m having a lot of fun. Definitely is a must buy especially for the older generation that started playing Metroid many years ago.

    Fun game. An instant classic. If you enjoyed Samus Returns, then you'll love this game.... although this one is a little tougher in my opinion. Dont feel discouraged by dying a lot lol

    Does not deserve an EMMI

    Metroid goes back to it's 2D roots for Samus' lastest outing. The game plays very well and is great, but the only reason that I am knocking it down 1 star is due to the EMMI sections. I don't want to have to feel rushed while being chased through certain sections. They are trial and error which I don't find to be fun. Metroid is about exploration. Thankfully the sections seem to be pretty minimal thus far.

    Metriod Dread is challenging and really fun. Bosses take max attempts to master. My only complaint is that once you have all of Samus' abilities and can explore freely, the game gets a little boss heavy.

    The game is very challenging but you feel a lot of satisfaction when you overcome the difficult bosses throughout this game. Definitely not for people who want to any easy experience.

    Metroid has always been fun! To have a new Metroid game (finally) for the Nintendo Switch made me so excited!! Currently working on two games, but looking forward to getting deeper into this one:)

    If not for Returnal, this would be my GOTY. This game is a Love letter to previous installments while feeling like it pushes the series forward in a fun, tight way. Definite recommendation.

    Awesome game! It gets you hooked right from the beginning. I was skeptical about it initially since it’s a 2-D game, but I’m so happy I ended up getting it. Worth it and you won’t be disappointed!

    Amazing game. I found it a little on the short side but it’s a lot of quality and runs amazing. I’ve also heard it may have some DLC too and that could be exiting if it’s an expansion.

    Best Metroid game..... Ever. So good. Played through Super Metroid with my 6yr old and he was hooked so we dove into this one. I don't think we skipped a day of play until we beat it.
