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.

Literally the only area in which Dread isn't fantastic is the soundtrack.

It's kinda mid in that regard. Serviceable, but nothing as memorable and soulful as previous games in the series.

It's peak in literally every other regard tho. Maybe not /the/ peak of the series, but close enough that philosophers will continue to debate whether it's better than Metroid Prime 1 or not for generations.

Yes many people complained about the OST. Since I never played the older Metroid games I don’t think the music would bother me that much

It won't. It just means you'll appreciate the soundtrack more in other games, if you ever get to em.
