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.

    It’s been 19 years since Samus’s last 2D adventure but the wait was well worth it. This game is simply amazing and more people need to buy this game and experience it for themselves.

    One of the BEST Metroid games so far. It can get pretty challenging but the challenge was well worth it. This game also looks great on the OLED screen.

    A game that captures the magic or the original while feeling timeless. It’s rare to feel so rewarded when playing a game that adheres to a simple and worn formula, but here we are.

    I loved playing through this game. There is so much to explore and discover if you take the time. Not quite old school Nintendo hard but as close as there’s been in a while.

    Great game Nintendo has gone back to it platforming routes, enemies can be tough but got to power through, no hand holding in this game. It is now one of my favorites.

    I haven’t finished the whole game yet but I am loving every aspect of it so far. Easier to pick up than the original and tough but fair enemies. What more could a gamer want.

    Super Metroid has been my favorite Metroid game since it released on the SNES. This one might unseat it. The movement is so fluid and combat feels so good.

    Wonderful game! Just the right amount of challenge and exploration. If you are a fan of 2-D Metriod or similar games like Hollow Knight, this is a great game to play.

    BEST title in the Metroid series. Previously Super Metroid was my favorite, but Dread has pushed Super from #1 to #2. An absolute MUST play for any fan of the Metroid series!

    It’s very challenging experience with only a few rough edges. Mainly it’s reliance on trial and error / Game Over screens, more so than previous games in the series. But once you get past some of the rough patches in the game, you get a very solid Metroid exploration experience. I just wouldn’t recommend it if you’re easily frustrated with repeated game overs.

    Best Switch game on the system...hands down! Worth full price because the graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay is fun. Difficult at times but that's part of Metroid's DNA.

    Great to see a new Metroid game. It’s been since Other M, 10 or 11 years since? Other M was alright, but Dread is a great addition to the Metroid series. Will not disappoint!

    I had the original Metroid game back in 1986 and played many of the games that followed. Naturally I had to purchase the latest iteration in Metroid Dread. So far the game has been fun and challenging. The graphics are awesome as are the sound effects. If you are a fan of the original or any in the Metroid franchise I highly recommend picking this one up.
