6 months later, how do you anons feel about Dread?

I feel like it wasn't worth more than $10 an hour just to play it but still a good game

Agreed, not worth the $80 but still a very enjoyable game nonetheless.

It was the first game I've given a fuck about in a long time, and it will probably be awhile until something I care about equally as much comes along.

Good example of some major improvement from a development team. Samus Returns was pretty okay, but this was a quantum leap for Mercury Steam. Not perfect by any means, but it was really solid.

Great for what it was, easily much better than Samus Returns and it proved that MercurySteam has it in them to make a good Metroid. That being said the lackluster soundtrack, repetitive boss encounters, samey areas and somewhat clumsily handled EMMI encounters dragged it down a bit, so there's still a lot of room for improvement. The movement was incredible though, easily the most fluid Metroid experience to date. The secrets were pretty damn rewarding to figure out, too. I personally thought it was worth the $60 but I don't know if I could honestly recommend it to a new player for that price, especially when there are longer, better Metroid-type experiences on the switch for way cheaper (Hollow Knight for $15 is a fucking steal). Overall it was a pretty satisfying experience. Glad the fanbase didn't get too annoying about it during its peak popularity period to alienate people who otherwise would've played it. 8/10. and raven beak was a fucking BEAST

i was hoping they would do something to make it more interesting, even if its something contrived like inverting the map
it was shorter than most indie metroidvanias and was frankly less interesting than a lot of them as well
still, a fine game, not worth the pricetag but everyone who cares about that could just pirate it anyways

It's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Very good fucking game, filtered me hard til I got gud, practically near invented new swear words on Experiment X-27 or whatever its name is. Music sucks but whatever, turn it off and put on Super Metroid or Prime OST.

My Dad played this game recently and couldn't keep up with some of the boss stuff and its need for quick reflexes, took him a week to beat Raven Beak but he was super satisfied to do it. He asked for my help with X-27 (or whatever its name is) and I got immediate revenge on it for my own playthrough, that was satisfying. he also wanted help with the speedbooster puzzles, so that was fun to take turns playing those

GOTY 2021 hands-down
