Our analysis
MercurySteam's Metroid Dread on Switch is a sleek, polished modernization of the series, with fantastic new abilities, tense stealth sections, great boss fights and no bugs across its roughly 12 hours. The reviewer suggests it could be the best Metroid ever.
Our analysis
Metroid Dread combines tight exploration and fluid movement with tense EMMI encounters, cinematic environments and atmospheric music. Some frustrating difficulty spikes and the lack of D-pad movement aside, it is a fantastic game worth its premium price.
Our analysis
Metroid Dread is a must-play with outstanding exploration, smooth controls, and excellent boss fights. Occasional framerate drops and lengthy area transitions are minor drawbacks beside its exceptional design.
Our analysis
Jake calls Metroid Dread a very good Metroid game with quick, responsive controls, a parry move, tense EMMI encounters and cool boss fights. He notes bullet-sponge enemies and weak visuals on a TV, but highly recommends it.

The Escapist😐 mixed
WatchOur analysis
Metroid Dread delivers familiar 2D exploration that fans will enjoy, with some exciting boss fights. Repetitive encounters, frustrating robot chases and clumsy exposition weaken the experience, and the robot storyline lacks a proper payoff.
The Completionist😐 mixed
WatchOur analysis
Metroid Dread rewards mastery of its demanding controls and combat with deeply satisfying exploration and completion. Its story exceeded expectations, and the rewarding speed runs helped make it one of his favorite games of all time.

Our analysis
A solid, engaging Metroid title with smooth gameplay and cool moments that doesn't feel fresh enough to overcome the long drought in original 2D and mainline Metroid entries, but remains one of the creator's most-played Switch games.
