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.

    Old school fun. I felt like a kid again playing this game. It’s difficult, but in a good way. Highly recommend this to anyone who likes challenging games and grew up with the NES/SNES.

    Metroid Dread is a fantastic experience. The gameplay is so smooth and the visuals are beautiful. It was challenging but fun the whole way through. I can’t wait for the next Metroid game.

    I've loved Metroid since the original. Metroid Dread captures the heart pounding action that the first games delivered so well. I'm barely into it but I can tell it's going to be a wild ride!

    The graphics and the storyline are great. My daughter loves this game. Much easier to play than Other M. Now if it had some DLC, that would be great, as she put it away fairly quickly.

    I owned the Nintendo Switch since it came out back in 2017 and this is hands down the best game I personally played for this system. I highly recommend this game for any true gamer.

    It's been 19 years, and it was well worth the wait. Please, old and new fans alike, try Dread. Enjoy the atmosphere and the story. I won't say any more just because of spoilers, but please.

    Excellent game! If you want a retro feel to back to those snes games you’ll be happy with Metro Dredd. It’s difficult and easy to miss things. It will challenge you and it’s very rewarding.

    I guess Ill wait for Metroid prime to come out but this will help make the time pass. The game play and graphic are superb. You will be looking at your map a lot. I beat it under 15 hours.

    Samus back in all her glory of 2D. I don't know what it was about this game, but it seemed impossible to get lost and know what to do next. Not saying that is a bad thing, but compared to other games of the past it was possible to not know what the next course of action was. I also feel it was a little too short as well because of this.

    This is a great addition to the Metroid franchise. If you've never played a Metroid game, this is a great place to start. Even if you don't care about the story, the gameplay is amazing.

    To be fair, I was already a huge fan of Metroid games. This is such a wonderful return, loved it! One of the few games I've finished and immediately jumped back in to start it again.

    Absolutely phenomenally creation that goes back to my childhood and provides a sense of nostalgia, while at the same time being challenging and beautifully done at the same time.

    Man what a ride metroid has been! We finally got a good game to go after Super metroid after all these years! Why couldn't they have released this a decade ago though?
