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.

    This is a most excellent Metroid adventure. Dread is an awesome game, and difficult in multiple places. Even better that I got it on sale for $9.99!!

    Amazing return to metroid. Silky smooth gameplay, amazing graphics, with lots to love for all gamers. The nintendo switch has hit another homerun with this one.

    Such a great game after Metroid Fusion! Really goes into the story and if you’re a fan of the series, it gives you little backstory here and there :) so worth!

    Fun game, short (12 hours to 100% completion). Very true to the Metroid series as a whole, picks up right after Fusion and plays just like an updated version.

    its a great metroid game, they dumbed this down a bit and made it more linear than super metroid, but this will help the more casual fans.

    One of the best 2d metroid titles. It took a bit of an adjustment for some of the new features, but super fun to play. Hoping another 3d one comes out next.

    Haven't completed the game yet, but it's beautiful and fun to play, though more difficult than most modern games (and a little anxiety producing).

    Best 2D Metroid Nintendo has made. Improves on Samus Returns remake and takes it to another level. If you are a fan of 2D Metroid this is a must buy.

    First of all, I'm a huge 2d Metroid fan and we've been waiting nearly 20 years for a new 2d Metroid. And this has really delivered on that aspect.
