There's some really good stuff here that genuinely makes it worth the effort to complete but you'll have to endure some genuinely awful levels and bosses to experience it.

There's only ten or so hours of game here but it's all fantastic. There's no filler here it's constantly hitting you with fresh, quality ideas.

If we're talking moment-to-moment gameplay this is a complete knockout and it carries the game hard. The movement is buttery smooth, easily the best in the series.

Not a fan of the recycled bosses or railroading, music is hit or miss. If the next one fixes Dread's biggest issues it's gonna be an incredible game, Mercury Steam knows their shit.
