   This game was fantastic, with the right amount of difficulty. Great at teaching you the old techniques from super Metroid and some new ones. The game took me about 30 hours to 100% with me being super paitient and back tracking to get all the upgrades. +Difficulty is good, you could play on easy or medium and after beating the game higher difficulties. +The music and sound effects are very immersive you will get sucked in in the atmosphere of the game. +Graphics are 2D with some 3D elements very well implemented. +The story is easy to follow. +I recived the US version as advertise (California) -The price as always for Nintendo games is super high even for games that have been out for a very long time.

   2D side scrolling Metriod game where you explore and backtrack when you get new upgrades/abilities. For those who don’t like Metriodvania type games where there’s hints at inaccessible areas you must revisit later once you get upgrades/abilities; this game will not change your mind about them. Although the first few tutorial hours are fairly linear. But those who are curious or are fans of the genre; it’s more approachable due to fast paced fluid controls. –Story/plot: Takes place after Metriod Fusion. Samus is exploring the depths of planet ZDR. Gets attacked, loses all powerups, and you must find your way up to your ship and escape the planet. –Presentation Best visuals for the 2D Metriod series. Backgrounds are detailed and dynamic; sometimes hinting on what’s to come. Very cinematic during boss intros and defeats Sound is good. Best with headset or surround sound system when docked. Not the best soundtrack in the series, but very good nevertheless Gameplay: Movement is very fluid (slide slides/wave dashes), and way less tank-y than previous Metroid games. After playing this game; makes it really hard to go back to previous game in the franchise Able to free aim and melee attack/counter like in ‘Samus Return’ (on 3DS), but controls are much less cramped. Counter attacks are not the main draw like in Samus Returns Sliding makes things much faster paced, and you can run and slide through small gaps. Morthball is still used to traverse narrow passageways Number of upgrades and ability unlocks are constant and consistent (unless you get yourself lost). Sometimes an upgrade will get you through just one or two area and never use again. Good feedback/gameplay loop for those who like instant gratification Missile, and energy upgrades require you to get a certain amount to upgrade like heart pieces in Zelda games There are stealth segments where indestructible EMMI robots try to hunt you down like Mr. X or Nemesis in the Resident Evil series. They are territorial and will only stick to their zone/area. You get insta kill once caught, but you can melee counter and are able to escape. Timing is different each time, so you can’t cheat it by a number countdown or muscle memory. In certain areas you can get Omega Stream one shot powerup that breaks through EMMI’s face shield revealing its weak point Boss battles have you test your reflexes by dodging projectiles and attacks constantly. They do have a patterns to them, and finding their weak point can be a puzzle onto itself. Defeating bosses and EMMIs gives you new abilities or upgrades You may get lost often on your first playthrough. Must refer/pull up the map screen constantly to find out where to go next (unless you like to explore on your own) There are 8 different areas/zones to explore. There are some environmental themes such as underwater area, lava area, rocky caverns, a lab area, etc. There is 1 EMMI per zone except for 1, so 7 total. First play through can last 10-12 hours (depending on your exploration, time you get game over by EMMIs). Around an hour of it is cutscenes, most of which is almost static scenes of Adam (AI) giving out exposition. Like previous Metroid games faster speed runs (knowing exactly where to go, with fast reflexes) for better completion times are encouraged. Hard difficulty unlocks after you complete the game for the first time. No secret ending that I know of. You do get still image gallery as unlocks. My best speed run so far is 4 hours. There’s also completionist percent rating for getting all collectables Overall, best 2D Metroid game due to it’s faster pace and more action oriented gameplay. A must get for Metriod fans and fans of the genre

   One of the most painful and enjoyable games I’ve ever played. It’s so punishing it makes you not want to give up. Beautifully made, stutters a bit during some loading screens. But main gameplay does sit almost constantly at 60FPS. It’s so smooth especially for a Switch game it’s ridiculous. Samus Aran is basically a parkour queen in this game.😆 If you’re a fan of the Metroid series I highly recommend this game, especially if you grew up with the series starting from the NES. It’s absolutely amazing to see how far it’s come. Graphics 9/10 Story 10/10 Color pallet 10/10 Environments 10/10 Overall handle during game play 9/10 I personally could’ve done with out shinespark manipulation, and especially the mandatory parry system. 8/10 Over all 9/10 most definitely worth the $60 price tag. Want more? I recommend Ghost 1.0 and Velocity 2X. Finished the game with 210 missiles 10 power bombs and 9 E-Tanks 80% completion. See you next mission.

   Jogo chegou rápido e bem embalado, não decepciona em nada Metroid Dread, jogo bem fluido e fácil de se acostumar com os comandos

   This game is incredible… The graphics are really what sticks out to me as well as the challenging yet fun bosses. This is my first ever Metroid game and I would 💯% recommend it and it ranks in my top 5, including BOTW. Get this game, it’s amazing! – Also, when the E.M.M.I grabs you, try to counter with X just before the flash to stun it.

   Metroid Dread is everything I hoped for and more. As a long-time fan of the series, I was excited to see Samus return in this latest chapter, and the game absolutely delivers. The atmosphere is intense, the world-building is fantastic, and the gameplay is a perfect balance of exploration and action.

   The visuals are stunning—everything from the eerie environments to the smooth animation of Samus in action. The 2D side-scrolling format feels fresh and modern, with tight controls that make navigating through the game’s complex areas both satisfying and challenging. The boss fights are epic, and the sense of tension when facing off against the terrifying E.M.M.I. robots is unlike anything else I’ve experienced.

   I love the feeling of discovery in Metroid Dread. There are so many secrets to uncover, and every new power-up feels rewarding. The difficulty is just right—challenging but fair, and it keeps you coming back for more. If you’re a fan of Metroid or action-platformers in general, Metroid Dread is a must-play. It’s an exhilarating, memorable experience from start to finish!

    My 1st Metroid game was the original one on NES when it was still sold in stores. It was the 1st game that I beat & immediately restarted for a new playthrough time & time again. I’ve always been an explorer type gamer and this game does not really have that. I do not care for the Samus Returns take on the franchise with a focus on countering or else dealing with obnoxious bullet sponges. On a 10 point scale I would give this a 7. Far too linear. EMMI and boss fights can become a teduous drag. Just simply not fun. It’s just a way to prolong play time artificially by being forced to run through there zone repeatedly until the games linearly nudges you to the next step needed to get the weapon needed to kill the boards EMMI. You do this SEVEN times. You also fight one mini boss a similar number of times. I just found my self starring at the screen like this is a chore, not fun. Linear. Bullet Spongey. Levels designed specifically to elongate travel routes….1 or 2 of the shinespark puzzles are just plane absurd. If This Were Not a Metroid Title, I would have just put it down. Pros. It’s Metroid, if it does well, maybe it won’t be the Red Headed Step Child of Nintendo. I actually bought two copies. Collectors & Regular for support. It has better controls than previous metroids. Not the best by modern standards though. Generous save system since they’ve designed this game around you dying alot. You will not have to hall butt from halfway across the map to get back to the boss fight.
