Our take on the Metroid Dread
Metroid Dread is a 2D side-scrolling action game for Nintendo Switch, the first new mainline 2D Metroid in nearly two decades. Samus Aran explores the maze-like planet ZDR, gaining abilities that open new routes while being hunted by near-invincible E.M.M.I. robots. It is known for tight controls, tense stealth sections and demanding boss fights. It suits players who like exploration and challenge; those wanting a relaxed or story-light game may find the E.M.M.I. chases and difficulty frustrating.
- Smooth, responsive movement and aiming
- Large interconnected map with steady ability upgrades
- Tense E.M.M.I. stealth sections add variety
- Frequent checkpoints keep retries quick
- Runs well in both handheld and docked modes
