Metroid Dread review/first thoughts is an action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD, released on October 8, 2021, for the Nintendo Switch. Set after Metroid Fusion (2002), players control bounty hunter Samus Aran as she faces a robotic enemy on the planet ZDR. It retains the side-scrolling gameplay of previous 2D Metroid games and adds stealth elements.

This game took me back to the 90s gaming. Currently I’m 42 years old, and I haven’t felt like this in a long time. When I started playing this game last night I felt like a teenager again I can’t explain it. To me it’s one of the best games ever made.

@@trenken might I ask in what ways? I found Dread to be not only a more fluid game to play but a more traditional style metroid game in general, the use of the scan visor especially in S R was a bit... "cheaty"? it felt like i had x-ray visor but cranked to 11 right from the get go. while Dread saves that till you're fairly far in the game, giving you the opportunity to look for secrets yourself and get that dopamine when you succeed.

Played it for about 5 hours today and I'm very happy with it. Like you said, it's both completely new, but also feels right at home. The leveldesign is amazing, even the backtracking is done in such an efficient way. And Samus controls better than ever! It's wonderfull to finally have a brand new Metroid again after all those years!

@Lydia I have tried to get through Super Metroid on four separate occasions over the years. It just isn't a fun game, in my opinion. It sucks because I have always WANTED to like it, but every time I play it, it's just a bore to keep retracing my steps over and over again. To me, it is by far the most overrated Super Nintendo game.

@@Whoareyoupeople900 This game is an evolution of many of the concepts set up in fusion. If you like dread it’s an easy recommendation. Also what if I told you there was a game in the series that was interesting and foreboding on a causal playthrough, but has masterful map design that allows skilled player to outsmart the developers and bend the game to their will, collecting items and fight bosses in almost any order they please, as long as the player is skilled enough. If any of that masterful game design interests you, I recommend you check what is my and many others favorite game of all time, Super Metroid

It's impressive that not only does it hold up against the other 4 mainline Metroid games, but that it stands out in a crowded genre.

Absolutely love this. The visuals, music, atmosphere, world building, movement, action, suspense, intense, story.. so so good I have my copy, even though standard edition, it is a marvel, I love it The amount of details, from Samus's visor, to the world, and atmosphere constantly shifting. Btw nice you noticed the nods to Prime as well. Gameplay run with Rob?! Cannot wait!!

I played up until the second area last night and this game rules. Fusion was my entry point to the series - I was 12 at the time - and I loved how that game so effectively used atmosphere and mood. The EMMI are basically the SA-X, but more frequent and more unpredictable. I love it, and I don’t think there’s another metroidvania that does what Dread does. The Queen is back!

I am loving seeing a Metroid planet realized in 3D. I’ve never played the Prime games, but I am a huge fan of the 2D games. This is like truly bringing these characters to life! Samus is such a badass. I am overwhelmed with feelings of awe and admiration for the series, the creators, the characters and this incredible experience that Nintendo has created! I will need to reevaluate again when I finish the game and come down off of cloud nine, but I’m in no hurry.

I really want to love it, and really I do, but those EMMI sections drive me nuts. I was always horrible at this kind of aggressively chasing enemy like Mr. X. I feel it keeps me from fully enjoying the exploration aspect. That said, the animation is crazy awesome and beautifully fluid, even in handheld mode. Also, where's the OST? Where's a Brinstar or a Torvus bog? Even though it's far from my favorite Metroid, it's still a great game and deserves the praise and attention.

@@BloodyFinger1661630 Thanks, dude. Finally got past the second EMMI... this little nifty familiar thing it gives you will make traversal so much easier. I still don't like the EMMI sections but admittedly, the game's awesome. I just miss a good score. That ambient music is way too muted. I'd like to have something like Brinstar that made you want to come back to that area just for the music, lol.
