CCG writes - "Metroid Dread, or Metroid 5, is a direct sequel to Metroid Fusion, also called Metroid 4, which was released a bit over nineteen years ago on the Game Boy Advance. I've always enjoyed Metroid games, and played a lot of the original and Super, but Fusion is the first game that really 'clicked' with me, and I fell in love with the series even more after that. I went back and played (and beat) most of them, and it’s wonderful that Samus Aran’s story has finally moved beyond Fusion chronologically. Samus Aran is Metroid’s female protagonist, a powerful bounty hunter who also has a knack for saving the galaxy from extinction-level threats over the years."
I just got this game. I was waiting to get a collector's edtion and I finally found one at Gamestop website. It's a great Metroid. I loved the Gameboy advance metroids so the fact its a sequel to fusion is a win for me
Did we play the same game?? It played like an antiquated mobile game developed 10+ years ago, not a modern day game like Ori or Hollow Knight... Annoying unskippable animations, boring level design, EMMIs were interesting at first and more frustrating later, to name a few gripes. Honestly, the best part of the game was the final boss and the very end. Dread feels like a little bit of a cash grab by Nintendo to me. They know what players really want - a sequel to Prime - but instead we got a game originally developed 10+ years ago and released at a $60 price tag when it should have been $20.
