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.

    From beginning to end its packed with exploration and cool boss fights. Well worth the wait. Probably my favorite game on the switch right now.

    I was hesitant with it being 2D but very impressed with the depth of gameplay and the amazing boss mechanics. Absolutely a contender for GOTY.

    Samus is back in potentially the best game in the series. Beautiful 2.5D graphics and challenging but fun gameplay conclude this 35 year saga.

    A hard game that requires focus and patience with bosses. Learn the map and learn the Boss' move set and you'll be good.

    This is indeed the best possible sequel to Metroid fusion. Feels like the perfect successor of the previous (and amazing) 2D metroid games

    In my eyes it is the best metroid game so far. Still playing it and have not completed yet. Good to play when no one else is bothering me.

    If you liked the super Metroid you’ll love this gameplay. It is a lot like the old games. One of the best games to date for Nintendo Imo.

    Great 2D entry in the Metroid franchise. Plenty of 3D elements (fight/cutscenes). Fun game, that makes you sit on the edge of your seat.
