I'm almost at the final boss and I would say, and this isn't honeymoon talking, this is S-tier Metroid. There were some areas the game wouldn't let me get back to when I wanted, and the melee counter was still kind of annoying and the dash melee wasn't the dream fix they posed it to be, but these are nitpicks. This was a triumphant upgrade from Samus Returns, I can't believe MS made such an improvement in one game.

I remember playing Metroid on the NES and Super Metroid on the SNES when I was little, but I never owned them. When I was in high school I had a friend that we would swap GBA games back and forth so we could try new games out and she let me borrow Metroid: Fusion and I absolutely LOVED it. Naturally, Metroid: Dread is the closest I've felt to that in a long time.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if you look at Super Metroid through the lens of someone in 1994 when it actually first came out, you'll understand that it is not only the best Metroid game, but one of the best video games of all time. To compare any other Metroid game to it is kind of unfair. I enjoyed Dread for what it was, but I knew going into it that it wasn't going to be Super Metroid, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Take away some of the nostalgia, it also has its fair share of flaws. Quite frankly I've grown tired of the we need to compare everything to said gem. It's very reductive and doesn't allow people to take chances and risks or even view something objectivly. I'm somebody who's beaten every Metroid. I love super but its not my favorite. Who knows how this game will age, since it just came out. Personally I feel like this game has culminated every 2d Metroid while distilling out some of the more annoying aspects.

As it might be one of the best video games ever it doesn't mean that it doesn't have jank. It's sad when I enjoy the gameboy advance games more because of certain things they added. As a franchise moves a long it should get better. As dread is an amazing game the real outstanding thing about this game is the controls. Samus has never controlled better in any game. I never once felt like platforming was bad. I can't tell you how many times I feel like it sucks in Super Metroid. I love this series and I am realist. I am not talk about story or gameplay scenarios. I am talking about how it feels to play and Metroid was in competition with the likes of Hollow Knight, Ori series, and Axiom Verge. All games inspired by Metroid and Castlevania. Fact is all these indie games feel better to play than Super Metroid. As I hope it would feel like comparing Psychonauts 1 to 2. Modern games should feel better to play and main issue is story telling. That is why God of war won game of the year because of it's story along with amazing gameplay taking gameplay ideas from Metroid. Games where it messes up and they don't move franchise forward, but backwards making feeling worse is Shenmue.

reviews like this make me second-guess my own thinking, wherein I feel like I'm in the camp of Metroid dread almost feeling... over-designed. Time does make fools of statements like these and provided something happens where a game-breaking bug is discovered and not addressed, but... where I am currently, it feels like the devs shift paths behind samus to specifically gate progression in awkward ways, such as turning rooms into heat and cold rooms, or it spawns an enemy you don't have the means to defeat for some time behind you. speed booster and shinespark setups seem as if they are tuned to get you to thread the needle between your shinespark charge running out and a morph ball bomb's detonation, and overall the game restricts out of it's design of making overly punishing bosses. I feel less like item collection even matter as much as me being able to go into the menu and hit the "load last checkpoint" button because Bosses can so easily steal momentum if you fall off of their overly-tuned patterns over the course of their overly damage sponge-y encounter design. I also am of the opinion that Quick Time Events belong nowhere NEAR a Metroid game, but... they are to be expected of MercurySteam's previous work.
