3.5/5 ★ – Moonlight150's review of Metroid Dread.

My first Metroid game. I can see what the hype is all about with the series. The power ups are fun, boss fights are unique and make you feel powerful when you learn their patterns and fight back. But giving absolutely no idea about where to go or what to do after completing one objective led to many hours just pointlessly wandering around since sometimes the next thing was on the other side of the map. Also the jump mechanic of turning into a ball got me killed more than anything else in the game. A simple mechanic like a double jump should not require precise timing just to function properly.
