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.

    So far this game is great! The sound and animation makes it the perfect Metroid side scroller. This is the reason I picked up a Switch

    The game was complicated at first but I really enjoyed it as I played it. At the end, I wish that it was longer.

    Metroid is a long running franchise that has produced many good sci-fi space games that are great for all ages. This is now one of those games.

    Samus is back after such a long time. Now Nintendo needs to make more Metroid games or release the ones that already came out previously.

    A fitting conclusion to the Metroid storyline. This is a brilliantly designed Metroidvania, and it makes full use of the Switch's features.

    I bought this as a gift for a Secret Santa. I haven't played it but it is a 2D side scrolling Metroid, there's no way it isn't good.

    Nice return of the metroid franchise. Good game, finished in about 11 hours. Give the demo a try to see if you like the game or not.

    Super Metroid is one of my favorite games of all time, and this game is an excellent upgrade to that classic. An all-around terrific game.
