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 was an excellent side scrolling game. Played the entire 7 or so hour campaign on a flight from Chicago to Honolulu.

    Hadn’t played a 2D Metroid game before but I would definitely say this is a must buy on switch if you enjoy a good challenge.

    Overall a good game. I played other metroid games and this is most definitely the most difficult of all of them. The difficulty spike is ridiculous for some bosses, the qte are annoying sometimes and the the emmi starts off fair but later became a annoying as well with cheap 1 hit kills.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    A perfect mix of difficult combat encounters, frightful "stealth" sections, and classic Metroid exploration. This is the culmination of the Metroid formula.
