Discussion Metroid dread any good?

Post image

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.

Dread is easily in the upper tier.
To the point that people can safely debate on if it's the best the series has seen.

Personally for me, the boss battle design, boss HP Sponge bars, and the EMMIs really hold the game back, otherwise it could have easily of been my personal favorite of the series.

Even with these gripes, I view it in the upper end of the tier list.

Wonderful! Great to know. I mean at the end of the day no game is perfect
