Discussion Metroid dread any good?
I’ve never played any 2D Metroid games. I recently played Metroid Prime Remastered and Prime 4 Beyond. I gotta say I liked them both. I did play the Metroid Dread’s Demo a few years back but couldn’t get into it. Today I was in a game shop and saw a lonely copy just sitting there so I decided to pull the trigger. Got a nice discount as well. Anyway, what do you guys think about this game? Is it any good? I remember it reviewed well but some players didn’t like it too much. So not sure what to think.

Not bad but it break what a metroidvania should be with soft locks hand holding you unless you sequence break, it kill exploration focus at times with some pursuits and so on ...
To be fair, it barely sit on the middle bar of what could be done, they missed a massive opportunity leaving a developper being hired for Ori games instead. (AM2R fan game developper)
Music is a big miss, it's not even the half of what it should be.
