I really didn't expect to like this game that much but I am truly suprised how tightly everything function. THe game is terribly hard but all the times I decided to put the game down don't feel like such a big deal now and for the first time I understood why people love hard games like this. I feel that sense of accomplishement with this game and its structure.
Metroid Dread is a game of moderately high highs but unfortunately pretty depressing lows. By far the best part of the game was how it feels to move. Samus controls very well and new additions such as the slide and dash really help the gameplay feel fluid. She is also very fast making backtracking for items feel less annoying. Also, the graphics were pretty and I liked the cutscenes.
Unfortunately, there are many things that brought down the experience for me. The game is very linear, not in itself bad, but there weren't really enough story beats to justify the linearity and I would have rather have to figure things out for myself more like in Super Metroid. The EMMI encounters are one of the worst things I've experienced in a while. In certain areas on the map, robots called EMMI can track your movement and if they find you it's GG. There are supposed to be ways to evade them, but sometimes the EMMI will just walk into you anyway triggering the game-over cutscene. You can counter them, but I could never do so consistently. The EMMI zones also look the same which leads to great swathes of the map lacking identity and feeling homogenous.
The game did improve as I got further into it, though some mini bosses seemed to get repeated a few too many times. I think there is a lot for the game developers to learn from this game, but I hope they can make more 2D Metroid games in the future.
El juego está bien, es divertido pero llega a ser algo complicado con los controles, es poco intuitivo. El arte está bien, aunque a modo personal no me llega a cerrar ese arte estilo "juguete", no me sumerge en la seriedad de la historia. Lo recomiendo jugar, pero no lo pondría en los escenciales de Switch ni de Metroid.
This game is revolutionizing, They have never made a game like this before. The only downfall of this game is that I dont like having a cute girl (which is my wife to be) being put in horrifying situations... 7/10
