    Metroid Dread takes full advantage of the Nintendo Switch’s processing power and presents a beautiful game, with great world-building, set dressing, and character designs.

    Overall though, Metroid Dread is excellent. MercurySteam has more than proven themselves to be a worthy steward of the 2D Metroid games. They understand the genre and what fans are looking for from Nintendo’s bounty hunter extraordinaire. Metroid Dread is simply a must-play title for newcomers and fans alike.

    Solid Metroid

    Very good across the board. Samus controls well, great graphics, cool bosses, classic vibe--definitely scratched the Metroid fix. Some interesting additions to the ongoing lore. Cut scenes fast-paced with Samus feeling in charge and badass. A few points removed due to lack of interest in enemies while exploring and basically the same weapons set as you'd expect in Metroid; waiting for some new tools to shake things up. Worthy, fun, fast-paced play.
