Quotation forthcoming.
For 15 years I have been waiting for this game, and to see it out and also be as good as I hoped it would be is simply incredible. The gameplay is sublime, the map design is great, the bosses are fun and the E.M.M.I are threatening. All these come together to create what possible is: The Nintendo Switch's 2021 game of the year.

Some of the reviews here are unthinkable. This game was a solid 10, nothing less. Actually one of the best games on the switch.

Peak Metroid. Very challenging, especially the Dread mode, but it's a very rewarding feeling when you get through it. There's also a Rookie mode for newcomers to make it easier to get into the game.

Overall, Metroid Dread brings a narrative close to a decades long story with excellent level design and combat. It also looks great as well. So until Samus Aran is needed once again to save the Galactic Federation, I am happy to just savour the joy of another successfully completed mission.
Metroid Dread for the Nintendo Switch is a worthy holder of the title "Metroid 5." Its sprawling world begs you to explore every inch of it, and while it keeps Samus Returns' control elements, they feel much better on the Switch. This is a proper Metroid 5, and that's more than enough to make it an Editors’ Choice pick for Switch games.
Metroid Dread is one of the best Metroidvania games out there with its awesome collection of abilities and its action-packed E.M.M.I. areas. It may not provide as much challenge as old-school fans would expect but it's still an undeniably incredible adventure.
Metroid Dread is hard, but it's hard in a really good way. The kind of way that makes you sometimes want to toss your controller, but doubles your resolve while doing so. It's smooth, quick, and makes Samus feel fast and powerful as much as it possibly can without turning into an action platformer.
Metroid Dread can't commit to giving players an action-packed power fantasy or a suspenseful adventure against the odds. It's quick, short, and snappy -- all things that can be good when used right, but not at all what Metroid Dread set out to deliver.
The gameplay is incredibly smooth. The pacing is amazing. The level design is top. The music is fantastic. The boss battles are great. This game is a masterpiece.

Metroid Dread is a game of moderately high highs but unfortunately pretty depressing lows. By far the best part of the game was how it feels to move. Samus controls very well and new additions such as the slide and dash really help the gameplay feel fluid. She is also very fast making backtracking for items feel less annoying. Also, the graphics were pretty and I liked the cutscenes.
Unfortunately, there are many things that brought down the experience for me. The game is very linear, not in itself bad, but there weren't really enough story beats to justify the linearity and I would have rather have to figure things out for myself more like in Super Metroid. The EMMI encounters are one of the worst things I've experienced in a while. In certain areas on the map, robots called EMMI can track your movement and if they find you it's GG. There are supposed to be ways to evade them, but sometimes the EMMI will just walk into you anyway triggering the game-over cutscene. You can counter them, but I could never do so consistently. The EMMI zones also look the same which leads to great swathes of the map lacking identity and feeling homogenous.
The game did improve as I got further into it, though some mini bosses seemed to get repeated a few too many times. I think there is a lot for the game developers to learn from this game, but I hope they can make more 2D Metroid games in the future.

El juego está bien, es divertido pero llega a ser algo complicado con los controles, es poco intuitivo. El arte está bien, aunque a modo personal no me llega a cerrar ese arte estilo "juguete", no me sumerge en la seriedad de la historia. Lo recomiendo jugar, pero no lo pondría en los escenciales de Switch ni de Metroid.

This game is revolutionizing, They have never made a game like this before. The only downfall of this game is that I dont like having a cute girl (which is my wife to be) being put in horrifying situations... 7/10
