Dread is an astoundingly tight package, sporting snappy movement options (in a map that allows you to take full advantage of them) and a dynamic combat system that builds well upon the mechanics of the previous entry, Samus Returns. While the survival-horror element creates an interesting cat-and-mouse between Samus and the E.M.M.I. units, the structure of the zones encourages a response that's more reactionary than tactical, which often makes these encounters more tedious than tense.
