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.

    Beatiful game but if youre looking for an extremely easy to pick up and play game this is not the game for you. If you have been a fan of past entries in the Metroid series this game should be right up your alley but if you disliked them in the past Id pass.

    Shipping was delayed a bit, but I purchased it for my son who is old enough to wait for a gift :) other than that, the process is always easy. The game itself is great. He is enjoying playing it, but i have not played it.

    As a long-time Metroid fan, this game really impressed me as I think it's the first time in a long time that Super Metroid was rivaled in quality. The bosses are tough but fair. They quickly become tests of skill and observation. The EMMIs take the idea of the SAX from Fusion and extend it further. Every time you enter an EMMI zone, you learn to quickly find escape routes and hiding places. Excellent game and my favorite game for the year so far.

    I grew up as the NES was coming out, I’ve played nearly all the Metroid games this far, and I can honestly say that I feel this is the most polarizing entry in the franchise. I was not a fan of the robot that is forever hunting you. I felt like it was a good idea that the game just over-relied upon. Combine that with too many secret blocks that you can shoot and it quickly becomes overwhelming. Did I mention that the robot one-hit kills you if it catches you? Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very fun concept, I just believe it’s poorly executed. Other than that, it’s just what you’d expect from a Metroid game and that is never a bad thing!

    This game is great! The controls are so polished that once you've mastered them, the EMMI will fear you.

    Game is fun but pretty difficult. Not recommend for anyone young but pays incredible homage to anyone that grew up playing metroid. Tbh i gave it 4 as im on og gamer but never really played metroid. Would be a 5 star for any OG metroid fans.

    Boo E.M.M.I.s!

    Great game, but definitely very frustrating at times. I absolutely love Metroid (and Metroidvanias in general), but the E.M.M.I. mechanic and periodic difficulty spikes just felt like forced difficulty, making it difficult just for the sake of making it difficult. The big thing in this game, the E.M.M.I.s, weren't particularly challenging, just annoying. Overall still a great game, loved the ending, but wasn't a huge fan of the formula they chose for this one.

    This game is both frustrating and fun. I love how satisfying it is when you discover new upgrades for Samus. I wish it was easier to know where to go next to advance in your mission though. Overall this game is a hit.
