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.

    The game strikes a great balance between difficulty and fun. In some areas it’s a little easy to get confused as to where to go if you want to 100% the game, but overall exploring every nook is rewarding. The E.M.M.I robots are a great addition, and can be genuinely unnerving!

    Its been a long time since a new metroid game was released and the wait was worth it. The game is beautiful and plays and controls extremely well. The story has surprising substance with some nice twists and turns along the way. Must have for the collection and a game I will certainly return to time and time again.

    Fantastic 2D Metroid game. Great gameplay, controls, graphics and atmosphere. Framerate dips a bit in places, but is overall solid. Good replay value with Hard Mode. While there isn't much story to Metroid, what's presented is very good. Very fun game and highly recommended for first timers and veterans alike.

    Love Metroid for a long time, and not having a new entire was very sad. Till Dread was announced and finally released. This game does not disappoint at all. It definitely continue the story from the main Metroid storyline not the Prime series. If you love Metroid or a first timer definitely pick it up if you can.

    As a fan of the Metroid series, this is a great installment. Fast paced and true to form, it adds the element of dread by introducing an unkillable robot that stalks you at certain points throughout the game. Slightly more difficult than previous games in the series.

    I've been looking for a Metroidvania-styled game and was thinking, "Why not just go for the source," and copped this one when I can. I've recently become a fan of Metroid through Dread and Prime Remastered and if you love the series or wanna play a 2D Platformer where you wanna kill some bad guys, go for this!

    It is Metroid, it doesn't need explanation. This game is amazing. If you have been a long time fan of Metroid like myself, this is a must have to your Metroid collection. If this is your first time? Then you have chosen the right game to introduce yourself to the Metroid franchise and you will not be disappointed.
