Don’t miss…
Don't trust these big channels with reviews.
What is it about this sentence?is it worth playing??
Another great Nintendo game
Long answer yes,short answer no.
Why hasn't my pre-order arrived yet?? I need to play this game! Lol. Needless to say I am quite excited to get back into 2D Metroid, and finally experience the Dread.
Tron OST vibes
Why would a robot thirst for blood?
Its a bit like saying….Breathing……Is it worth it??????
Hey regarding your editing, gameplay should never be cut off to give a power point title screen for the review. Should use text overlay in the corners or middle. The duration was far too long on that blue title screen.
I wonder if the game will explain why she started at the dephs of the planet instead of outside of it
Is there a difficulty setting ?
What's the cool synth music in the background ? Would like to know.
Hi! How hard did you think it was? As a medium-skilled gamer I just want to know if I could get through it 🙂 like, what kind of games do you compare the difficulty-level to?
can't wait to squeeze into her narrow vents
Game Informer Video Content – Is It Worth Watching Anymore?
Short answer: yes because Metroid must return
Goty
I'm finally getting my Nintendo Switch OLED + Metroid, I was gonna do it for Metroid Prime 4, but Metroid Dread is freaking awesome
does the game have an easy difficulty mode?
Looking forward to this shit. Normally I use any online info available to blaze through games in mass quantities, but for this one I want to appreciate the design more and find shit for myself.
Of course it is, that's not a sane question to ask. Even if it was a 6 it would be worth it, cause it's new core Metroid.
can. not. wait.
Is saying "is it worth playing?" even a question?
I hope we end up getting a new 2D Metroid game after this one.
looks and feels like a remix of metroid fusion. I really don't get why people don't see this. It brings nothing new to the table. Overpriced, and overhyped yet again.
worth playing? …thats the catchphrase you choose?…really? XD
Good review. But why spoiling some bosses.?
Absolutely loved the game!
Got early access.
My only concern is that I completed it in 7 hours. I just wish it was longer with some extra content beyond the main playthrough
My switch is about to finally get some attention after being shunned for so long. ?
Is this better than hollow knight? Asking for a friend ?
2 hawers to go uk i hope with e shop
Why not end with showing the first boss battle? Just couldn’t wait to show another one? Lol good review but the spoilers and to much info.
I could've gone without knowing I can defeat the EMMI before I play it myself ?
No!
Can't wait to ignore my baby crying for this!
This is the best review of the game I've watched, showing more than just the same gameplay we've all seen before and explaining it in more depth than the others. And it's shorter too, good work!
yeahh, the game looks pretty for sure, but i would NEVER buy such a simple looking platformer(even with a metroid theme) for 60$… this is the shit nintendo is trying to throw at us after metroid prime 4 was pushed back or even got cancelled(a buddy of mine told me its definitely been canceled, but couldn't find the source saying that). I absolutely love the metroid series but again… AAA price for a platformer? That's insane imo. Sorry if i ruined the excitement on this game for some people, this game just makes me angry/sad. (T-T)
Just picked it up today!
Would have loved to know how death is handled…are the restarts instantaneous or are they slow loads back to a far checkpoint?
While I don't agree with the minor grievances about the upgrades being underwhelming. This was a good and fair review. I think this might be my new favourite 2D Metroid game of all time.
You can get the morphball roughly 1hr30mins into the game. How and where? Ah. You should know.
A lot harder than fuzion and zero mission worth playing if you're into 2D games
game is meh
Another excellent review ! Loved the background music, the description felt fair and the video transitions where on point ! Bravo ? Game informer !!!! While I do miss your old hard copy magazines growing up as a kid you guys are doing an amazing job keeping its spirit alive !!!!
Why in the FAK would you spoil a late weapon upgrade? What an absolute shit thing to do.
I am impressed what Mercury Steam did with the Metroid franchise.
Metroid Dread has shown us how the Spanish studio has improved since their Castlevania Lords of Shadow Days.
Why show so many different bosses. Spoiler af review
The E.M.M.I. encounters just become annoying. I think there'd be more of a sense of dread if they made them more cunning, but the escapes are actually timeable. Getting caught and just being like "w/e, kill me." wasn't conveying the vibe.
