I was so excited to find out about this game coming out, I finally bought a switch and this was the first thing I got, this was the thing that made me decide I needed my own switch. I am playing on normal mode, and it’s a good challenge, I would definitely tell my kids to play on east first. It has the feel of my favorite Metroid game back on the game boy like 30 years ago, except it looks amazing! I loved it in black and white, but the graphics really make it have so much more atmoshphere and feel. Also, the cutscenes made it so awesome, I love how Metroid can look so new and still feel so nostalgic. It’s isn’t totally nostalgic though, it’s so smooth and the gameplay is so advanced compared to back when I was a little that it is able to throw a lot of surprises your way. The EMMI sections are definitely standouts, they get more and more challenging. The worlds change constantly as the story progresses, and it’s awesome to return to an area with all your new stuf, it’s especially rewarding when you figure out how to get that next energy tank or missile expansion. The boss battles are FUN! For real! They all make sense, you may die a bit figuring it out, but none of them are unfair, you can figure out how to do every ones. Getting back to the EMMI sections for a sec, I also need to say that these definitely are good and putting the Dread into the game. I felt the same rush in this game that the resident evil and amnesia games give me. It’s also not overly long, so you don’t feel like it’s getting old when you’re going for 100%.
Get this game for real!
