Only beaten 3 proper ones (currently in sleep mode in boss opening cutscene) I think my boss resets have mostly been because I stink at timing the counter but I want to see the quicktime/notactuallyquicktime scene. The cinematics are so good in this game.
A lot to love about Dread, but it's not the 10/10 knockout I was hoping for quite yet. I'm especially worried about it's replayability, which is a staple of the Metroid series. Super Metroid is so infinitely replayable because once you master the movement techniques you can do all sorts of funky sequence breaks. The one or two times I obtained an item I clearly wasn't supposed to in Dread I got a "you can't use this yet" message which was a bummer.
I doubt it was intentional, but I love that the rhythm for bomb jumping is the exact same as Super Metroid. No idea where I am in the game (I think about 40%ish?) but so far a very solid 9/10.
I agree, it’s not the 10/10 I was expecting either. It’s a great game and worth the purchase but I feel like the $60 price tag is too much now in hindsight. I own both of the Ori games, The Blind Forest and The Will of the Wisps, and Metroid Dread is really not much different. Both Ori games are $30 physical or less.
I finally beat that boss I was stuck on so I’m finally able to progress again. I too gathered an item I didn’t have access too yet so I’m not sure if that upgrade is next, or if I’ve jumped ahead somehow and need to backtrack. I’m on E.M.M.I. #6 right now and having trouble again.
