METROID DREAD
If you’re going to splash out on a new Switch, might as well add this long-awaited game and give that screen a proper workout
L ook at any ‘best games of all time’ list online and you can bet you’ll see at least a couple of Metroid games near the top. Expertly combining platforming, action, puzzling and nonlinear exploration in a sci-fi universe rich in atmosphere, the adventures of Samus Aran are up there with anything gaming has to offer.
Intended as a Nintendo DS game but eventually cancelled, presumably due to the console’s limitations, Metroid Dread is the series’ first brand-new 2D game in nearly 20 years, and one that most fans understandably gave up on long ago.
