Metroid Dread review – prime Metroid
The first proper new Metroid game in over a decade celebrates the series’ 35th anniversary and the return of one of Nintendo’s greatest heroes.metro.co.uk
In Short: One of the best Metroid games ever made and a thrilling restatement of everything that makes the series, and the genre it inspired, great.
Pros: Cleverly designed game world, filled with secrets and a huge range of weapons and items. Great combat and enemy designs and impressive graphics despite the 2D gameplay. Good soundtrack.
Cons: Only a few new ideas and the final boss is a real slog. The lack of hand-holding is inevitably going to frustrate some players.
Score: 9/10
That hand holding "con". :)
Oh brother.
I haven't played a switch game in a while, despite this being 720p docked is it going to look like ass on a 4K TV or should I find a different display to play it on?
Metroid Dread is a lesson in simplicity. MercurySteam and Nintendo knows what makes a good game, but more importantly, they know what makes a good Metroid game. It's a masterclass in pacing, giving level design and new abilities time to breathe. It's a masterclass in making the most out of portable hardware, and building on everything Metroid fans have internalised after two decades.
Is it the most innovative 2D platformer in years? Undoubtedly not.
But then again, you're not buying Metroid Dread because it does things no other platformer can.
You're buying Metroid Dread, because no other platformer can truly replace the void Metroid left.
Canadian Thanksgiving, hell yeahGame is already preloaded on my Switch, got a 3 day weekend too, can't fucking wait to play this
