Re: Review: Metroid Dread - Quite Possibly The Best Metroid Game Ever Made

urfaverenegade

I once used to shift from game to game never completing one or another- then the pandemic happened and I’m on my 18th finished game of the year. That honor belongs to this beauty, Metroid Dread. Never having completed a Metroid game other than Super via Wii VC, I made it my mission to see Semus through. The developers created an environment that captured one’s attention and the puzzles were just enough to make one keep on trying. The quality of life improvement of checkpoints truly helps this adventures fail & try again formula - without making one back track at all. After 100% it, Dread is my game of the year. Please give this game a shot if you haven’t already. I was so eager for more lore I went back and beat the OG NES Metroid in a couple nights!

Finished up my 100% run through of Metroid Dread & oh my, what a fantastic game! If you haven’t picked it up I urge you to give it a shot soon! I’m currently shuffling between Horizon Chase Turbo Senna DLC & the OG NES Metroid with a couple quests from Monster Hunter Rise sprinkled in between. Trying to fit Dune in this weekend as well!

I wish more folks gave me a heads up on how amazing & laugh out loud funny Paper Mario Origami King is! On the last streamer and enjoying every minute of it. So much closer to Metroid Dread & I can’t wait!!!

EDIT- Paper Mario Origami King complete! Solid 8/10 with the perfect story.. only drawback is the battle style! Highly recommend and very addicting game with plenty of collectibles

Took some time beating all the Kirby x SNES games the past two weeks. A change was in order & decided to tackle some backlog before Metroid Dread takes over my life. The lucky winner ?Paper Mario The Origami King! I’m currently on the third streamer & everything about this game screams 10/10. Writing is laugh out loud funny and brilliant! How did I not start this sooner?

Shuffling between Monster Hunter Rise (200 hours in) scroll chasing & continuing my play-through of Monster Hunter World on Xbox Series X. It’s beautiful ! Also had some fun playing Clubhouse Games with sis earlier in the week & hopped on a twitch stream to play some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ! A good week & weekend ahead to say the least! Happy gaming everyone

After 155 hours of Monster Hunter Rise I tried the Monster Hunter Stories 2 trial & it just was not my cup of tea. So I went back- purchased Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate! Loving every minute of it like Rise so far and can’t wait to slowly get through it over the next several months until Rise gets a bigger update

I’ve been tackling Super Metroid all week. Finally made it to the second Ridley fight! Will hopefully finish that. As always, Monster Hunter Rise daily & getting my hand on the Monster Hunter Stories 2 Trial. Loving Stories animation, battle system and storytelling so far! Idk if I’ll ever put Rise down 😅

I had myself a Nintendo fan boy day on the beach this past Tuesday! Between the direct and finishing the Ask Iwata memoir, amazing is an understatement.

I’m also still grinding through Monster Hunter Rise. I gave a fair shot to Game Builder Garage and Bioshock this week but they didn’t keep my attention. Rise until the Stories 2 demo comes out!

Hey hey! Finally got past the Advanced Quest in Monster Hunter Rise this past week so I ATTEMPTED to play other games- including Game Builder Garage. A huge failure! Nothing beats the addictive grind so I’m back at it, awaiting new quests & content. Until then i shall be forging & trying new weapons. I’ll sprinkle in a few Mario Kart 8 Deluxe races here and there with the sis.

Happy gaming everyone !
