Dread a few hours in impressions: cons: -the music is kinda bad -i don't particularly enjoy the EMMI sections because they're often UNAVOIDABLY IN THE WAY I NEED TO GO and can't do the QTE well. -Some of the color choices for environments are a bit overly dreary imo, like we're back in 2007

pros: -controls like butter -gameplay is generally satisfying, fun exploration and combat -i actually don't mind the parry system -good designs, samus is cool. -so far good balance of challenge and forgiving I've played games like SOTN and silksong, but never any metroid games. good so far

Another Pro is I think most every other Metroid is going to be a bit less frustrating than the EMMI segments and potentially better OSTs, but the fluidity is kinda peak in Dread. I never beat the final boss so I'll be curious what you make of that

Did people actually mind the parry system? It feels so damn satisfying to pull it off. I do agree about the cons mostly but thankfully it doesn’t really detract from how good the game still is.

before I decided to try it I saw some folks complaining about it, but I imagine these may be more purist core players of the original couple games or something

That would be me haha. I love the parry system and it’s one of the best changes the 3DS remake brought. I’m glad it stuck around for Dread and Ravenous.
