Metroid Dread is a near incredible game that, in my opinion, only has one issue and that's in its pacing and the overall effectiveness of its ending. Besides for that, it sports one of the most engaging gameplay systems that I've ever had the luxury of engaging with. The graphics, sound design, and music all blend together so well to create a game that is distractingly atmospheric. The difficulty is something that does frustrate but always satisfies, especially in terms of boss fights. Watching the game world around you evolve with time as you work your way throughout was a special treat as well. Loved this game, and while I don't see myself playing it again anytime soon, I will definitely be investing in games of its ilk.
