Raven Beak had actually pushed its way to my #1 Favorite Track, even above Metroid Prime (Phase 2), Hopes And Dreams, and A Contest Of Aeons. But that's just me. Z-57 and Escue actually made their way to my Top 10 Favorite Tracks.

My overall gripes are some of the repeating bosses, the music could've been better and some of the environments blending in sometimes like Artaria and Cataris, but i think ZDR is fun to run around in. Nice review of Dread there too :)

I think I must not have went according to the "correct" sequence because the pulse radar was definitely NOT an endgame item when I played. I thinnk I got it about a third of the way in. I liked how awkward having to hold the various shoulder buttons was. It felt like piloting a big power armor, and the momentum really gives Samus a sense of being HEAVY, as opposed to how light she was without her suit in Fusion.

As a person who isn’t really into Metroid, this game was a masterpiece regardless It is the best paced and smoothest metroidvania game i have ever played Samus searches an area, then he encounters an emmi and runs, then she gets a power up or ability then he fights that emmi, then he fights a boss then he gets new ability This cycle is perfection and never gets boring You always have something new to do and the game is so so so generous in enemy variety I enjoyed every single boss here and none of them ever felt unfair.

Apparently Dread carried on a tradition of the last X Parisite Samus absorbs doing weird things. In Dread QR-X makes her Metroid DNA dormant again, and in Fusion absorbing the SA-X lets her use the Ice Beam that she shouldn't be able to use any more. Also, as much of a meme as "The Baby" is thanks to Other M The Baby Metroid is my second favorite character in the series thanks to Samus Returns Finale and Super Metroid's ending.

dread to me is a solid game with tight gameplay 8/10 ( i am rly hard on giving a score, and i honestly give most games a 5/10.. so to me this is AMAZING and rare) however, not without its flaws how to fix it? 1 i would like an actual epiloge, cuz jesus this game ends abruptly 2 i would like something to unlock for a second playthrough, not just some cheap reskin (like SR fusion suit), but actual cool new things examples could be, a 2d sprite samus with 2D classic animations, and fusion suit, both giving a buff or something, fusion suit gvies a harder difficulty, and classic gives perhaps something else this would make replaying the game much more fun 3 give me options to change my controls, the switch force control switches do not count i want to chose how my speedbooster works, cuz i think that fusion and zero mission permanent speedbooster are better, and if they make it so i can freely chose between button press or permanent that be great best case, they remove 1 more buttonpress from the gameplay and make it even smoother and tighter 4. perhaps 1-2 more power ups that are behind rly hard optional / highly missable bosses or hard puzzles with checkpoints as we have them now this is a super thing to do we had great speedbooster puzzles, just put 1 super long puzzle to unlock a cool new upgrade, like for examplea new beam or missile upgrade, maybe a combo beam you can do by charging the beam and then firing missiles or a boss after a short but hard puzzle that could be anything rly, maybe something like... a new suit? perhaps? like idk, a grapplebeam upgrade that lets you metroid drain from range? or do a range melee? i honestly would like some rly cool and OP power ups hidden behind something HIDDEN, something so far away and well hidden away from thje beaten path that you will only find it while doing a 100% and try to find all the ups

This game is really great but it won't become a legendary classic like super metroid for a few reasons. It's soundtrack made too many mistakes by not including classic item room music, etc. It has way too much of the color black everywhere. Seriously, especially the morph ball sequences. The phantom cloak became obsolete way too soon and there was no real creative us for it apart from emmis. I also feel like it was designed with speed running in mind. I've always felt like a great/classic metroid game gives you the option to enjoy it slow at first and then fast later. It lacked custom controls.. In the year 2021, for real. Overall it is a great game but they flubbed some necessary basics in order to make the game a true unmissable classic.

Definitely a great game. Negatives for me: not enough diversity in biomes and paces too quickly. The item upgrades come really quickly one after another with not enough traversal in between. The music is another point. Also, I found that only the EMMI zones and boss fights were challenging. The rest wasn't very difficult in most places. Super Metroid is still #1 for me, but Dread is definitely a fantastic game. I hope we get another sequel in the next two or three years. Also, I agree about Other M. Despite it's flaws, it was a really fun playthrough with my favorite Metroid boss fight: Phantoon (sp?). But also the worst final boss fight for sure. How could Team Ninja have gotten so much right but still got so much wrong? I digress.
