Metroid Dread: The Best Metroid Yet
In Metroid Dread, fans play as the bounty hunter Samus Aran. He is investigating the source of a mysterious transmission on the planet ZDR. The NPC fights in the game are one of the hardest that players will ever face. These boss fights become a considerable nuisance to overcome. But this 2D side-scrolling world is so intricately created that users feel like they are on an adventure with Samus rather than simply controlling her. The puzzles are challenging, but solving them feels extremely rewarding.
