- Quick Summary: This game is absolutely phenomenal and is one of my favorite games of all time. If you love Metroidvanias or are new to the genre, drop what you are doing and play this game.
- Exploration: 10/10: If you have ever played a Metroidvania, the exploration will feel right at home, and even though the world is massive, I don't think it will be too intimidating for newcomers.
- Progression: 10/10: The way this Metroid game progresses is stellar as usual, and it finds a nice balance between backtracking and moving to new areas. You may get lost sometimes, however it's usual not for very long.
- Atmosphere: 11:10: This game might just have the greatest atmosphere I have ever experienced in any game. The planet ZDR ranges from desolate laboratories to lush forests, and every environment is both engaging and lively, with incredibly detailed backgrounds that feel artistic yet alive. I can tell that a lot of effort went into the backgrounds, because they really sell the atmosphere of this game and add extra little details, which is always appreciated. I also love how the feeling of isolation and dread is felt exquisitely throughout the whole game.
- Horror: 9/10: I would not consider Metroid: Dread to be a proper horror game, however it does have a lot of horror aspects. This is most prevalent in the E.M.M.I. stealth sections, in which an indestructible GLaDOS Demogorgon will chase Samus in designated areas of the map. When entering these rooms, the player will notice an immediate change in the environment. The music turns eerie, and even the visuals have become slightly dark and distorted. I love how these sections can be pretty tense and terrifying due to the fact that the E.M.M.I.'s are attracted to motion, and how these are threats that not even Samus has the means to take down. My only complaint about the horror aspects of this game is that I feel as if the E.M.M.I. sections could have had better placement throughout the campaign as a whole.
- Combat: 10/10: I can safely say that Metroid: Dread has the best combat out of any Metroid game so far. It's fluid, fast-paced, and requires timing, aim, and skill. This game also has some of my favorite boss battles ever, and some aspects of combat even remind me of DOOM: Eternal, which is a very high compliment.
- Music: 9/10: As usual, this Metroid game has an absolutely stellar soundtrack, full of songs that are both enjoyable to listen to yet also enhance the atmosphere.
- Story: 9/10: I'm not going to talk about any spoilers, however I think the story is handled really well in this game. It would have been awesome to have lore entries like in the Prime games, however I was not expecting this since nothing like that has ever been done in a 2d Metroid game before. I also think that Samus as a character is handled spectacularly.
- Visuals: 11/10: Metroid: Dread is another example of a graphical underpowered game that somehow looks gorgeous due to the incredible art-style and jaw-dropping lighting. This seriously has some of the best lighting I've ever seen in a 2d game and is certainly a contender for one of the best looking games I've ever played.
- Final Score: 79/80

Good quality stickers. A nice little collectable, and they came with the game, so for the price of free, there's nothing to complain about.

This game isn't perfect. It's bitterly difficult in places and it can be really frustrating trying to figure out where to go next, with long spells of running back and forth, defeating the same enemies and retracing the same rooms. That said, it's also good fun. It's the first game I've really gotten into in a long while. The mechanics of the game just gel together to make a fun and exciting game. The graphics are pretty but it is a 2d sidescrolller so it doesn't really wow in that way but that's not really the point. I've enjoyed this game so far. I would recommend to any fan of the series or the genre. It's different than most new titles and I love that.

Yep, that's exactly what these are. Stickers. They were included with my purchase of Metroid Dread, so of course this gets 5 stars. They were free, friends. And the art is cool. Will I put them all over my locker? No. I'm not in school. Will I put it on my phone case? Yes, yes, I will. Can't go wrong with free, so if you got these, too, you know what I mean. And if you didn't get any? Not sure what to tell ya, pal.

Fun little addition to come along with the pre-order especially since gone are the days you got real perks for pre-ordering. I had to explain to my son way it came and old-school selling tactics which was fun.
The stickers themselves were really good quality. I was very surprised by that. Thick, sturdy material. They will hold up well on anything they are put on as long as the adhesive is good.
