    It drags on for too long and the controls are bit clunky and static
    Dread is an improvement in every single way

    It's good enough for what it needed to be and I'm glad they got a second shot afterward

    I don't like what the counter does to the gameplay and combat / enemy design, and I don't like playing a 2D game with an analog stick, this also applies to Dread.

    AM2R is way better.

    Gameplay felt bad and I hated the melee move.
    The other 2d games had much tighter controls and just felt better.

    Bought it but never finished it.

    It's alright for what it is, a remake of a boring and repetitive game.
    Its few new additions like Aion abilities were kinda meh but they were great in Dread so I consider Samus Returns as a test drive for Dread.

    3D free aim and counterattacks both feel more "modern metroidvania" than "metroid"
    both are shit things in the game and made me dislike it
    didn't finish it, even though I pirated it
    don't want to play dread because of them
    can't wait for metroid to stop doing them

    So they're gonna be able to make another game, right? Was Dread's performance good?

      Yeah, pretty sure Dread is the best-selling mainline Metroid game, and it got positive reviews and word-of-mouth, so IF another 2D Metroid is in the works it'll probably be by the same team.

      If you mean make another Metroid game in general, yeah. Dread is the best selling game until Prime 4 releases. Who knows if Nintendo will get MercuryStream to make the next game though.

    It was worth a playthrough but I wasn't a big fan. That said I'm glad it exists because it was a good learning experience for MercurySteam and Dread was a massive improvement.

    The Chozo Memories were kino and Diggernaut was a cool addition. If those two things were added to AM2R then Samus Returns would become obsolete. Diggernaut would've fit perfectly in AM2R's Mining Facility.

    Solid and I prefer it over AM2R because it isn’t a total rehash of super metroid

        I liked it though? I thought it was good and has some nice bosses and exploration. AM2R was just a rom hack that didn’t advance the series in any way despite being good

            It had the most of any game since zero mission i’d argue, certainly more than fusion, prime 3, and other m and the former 2 are generally well liked

    Diggernaut is the worst boss in the entire series and it's not particularly close.
    Trial and error bosses with completely scripted patterns are not fun. That he also makes a habit of wasting time cycling through his phases until he gets to the part where you can hurt him a little means that even once you know what to do it's a slog.
    Not that you would know what to do the first time as the game has hammered home through it's level design that morph ball bombs are useless against suction fans. Naturally during one phase the boss can only be harmed by putting bombs in the path of it's suction fan.
    Peak design.

    The controls fricking suck. I want to strangle whoever came up with that horrible circlepad, and then double-strangle them for making me use it as the only option in a motherfricking 2D platforming game

    too bloated, drags on for too long
    the original was wonderfully tight and focused.
    aether powers are lame, diggernaut just pads time, most of the environments are unenjoyable to navigate so instead they band-aided this with zillions of teleporters and an overly detailed, always visible map
    also the unnecessary ridley fight at the end ruins the ending.

    Pretty fun and complains about the counter are completely overblown when the Missile + Ice Beam combo replaces it very early as the best way to defeat enemies.

    Why do so many people act like the counter is even needed? I maybe used it 10 times over the course of both games.

    Didn't like it. I just couldn't finish it.
    Had low expectations for Dread when I heard mercury soft was making it because of Samus Returns. I was actually leaning towards not buying Dread because of it.
    Glad I was wrong and they ended up making Dread good.

    Decent is a single word. Now to break your rule and mention AM2R, both games were decent remakes that took much needed liberties with the original.

    I didn't mind it. I liked the counter system. I do remember needing to use a certain move in order to get 100%, but the game never teaches you it. 7/10.
