Review – Metroid Dread
Metroid Dread, a MercurySteam production with Nintendo EPD, is a love letter to the series in both being a conclusion to Samus’s story and the picturesque world and exquisite gameplay that surrounds it. From the different biomes and the living worlds in each one, Boss fights that make you think about each step, a new enemy in the Extraplanetary Multiform Mobile Identifier (E.M.M.I.) robots to avoid and dispatch, to the sound and art of each part and the fact that this adventure can be experienced both on the go and in a dock at home makes it a title that is second to none.
Have a look at our full review of this masterpiece from MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD below.
