19 years after Metroid Fusion had released the long awaited, and rumored sequel had finally released. Being touted as a saga conclusion the Metroid threat takes on a whole new form of meaning, and Dread. No pun inteneded. Samus must survive while being hunted by a cold and ruthless enemy, one of which is set to improve on the previous major encounters of Metroid Fusion and the SA-X. Being the second Metroid title developed by Mercury Steam, Metroid Dread was an instant success. One of the best looking games on the Nintendo Switch helps elevate the franchise. The game capitalizes on the action and exploration while bringing Samus’ mobility and animations to a level of satisfaction not many 2.5 3D titles have achieved.
