In the same vein as Metroid Fusion, Metroid Dread chooses to create a game where instead of giving you free reign of the entire game world, like Super Metroid, the game will gently guide you in a relatively consistent path. However, unlike Metroid Fusion, this game has no interest in cultivating fear. Samus is a fucking god in this game. Unstoppable. You are the limiting factor in Samus-- and getting good at this game means removing that limiter. All the little nicks and fluff have been cut out here. This game is short and fucking incredible.
