The game starts you depowered &#8211; as usual &#8211; but as you explore, you get your first power up, and it just snowballs from there. In no time at all, you&#8217;ll be morphing into a tiny ball, running super fast, shooting multiple missiles, and more. Fans of Metroid will recognize these powers. There&#8217;s new stuff like Flash Shift, which lets you blink right or left consecutively. It doesn&#8217;t stop all damage, but it gets you out of trouble faster. You can also counter attack enemies to one-shot them, like in Samus Returns.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3722\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-2.png?resize=750%2C417&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-2.png?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-2.png?resize=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>As with all Metroidvania games, you&#8217;ll have to do a lot of exploring and backtracking. There are tons of different room types, environments, puzzles, and stealth elements. Using your invisible ability, you dodge a giant killer EMMI robot. It&#8217;s tense in these areas, because you don&#8217;t want to get caught. Getting spotted means you can either run away or get caught and try to escape. It&#8217;s hard to get the escape timing right when you have to successfully press the counter button. When you die, you&#8217;ll have to restart the area.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3723\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-3.png?resize=1024%2C555&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-3.png?resize=1024%2C555&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-3.png?resize=300%2C163&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-3.png?resize=768%2C417&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-3.png?resize=880%2C477&amp;ssl=1 880w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urpwned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/urpwned-0124-3.png?w=1191&amp;ssl=1 1191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Once you figure out the patterns, all the bosses are beatable. It&#8217;s also easy to retry, since the game puts you right back near the boss, and sometimes, you just have to skip a cutscene. I think the bosses are the best part of the game, because you&#8217;ll have a blast figuring them out. The only thing I don&#8217;t like about the game is how long it takes to load between areas. It&#8217;s because of the Switch&#8217;s hardware. It&#8217;s a good time to grab a drink, rest your fingers, and get back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long wait for a side-scrolling Metroid game is over with Metroid Dread for the Nintendo Switch&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,27,4],"tags":[1101,956,916,556,1099,210,1100,992,1102],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
