The Aeion power source also makes a reappearance from 2017's game and you'll need to juggle your gauge in order to make use of all of your defensive and offensive capabilities when you need them most. Moving through rooms packed full of bugs and beasties and using this parry to devastate every last one of them with a single overcharged riposte is glorious stuff, too, properly satisfying action that makes you feel like a truly badass space ranger. In terms of returning mechanics, MercurySteam has brought back the excellent parry from Samus Returns and it feels more robust here. There are some real grotesqueries to take out here. It's slick, fast-paced stuff that never drops a frame as it delivers breathlessly exciting encounters, including some properly screen-shaking boss battles that do a great line in pretty revolting, OTT body horror. We really don't want to spoil anything of the story or much of the unlockable abilities for you here (the surprise of finding all this stuff for yourself is half the fun after all), but rest assured everything you do in Metroid Dread - every enemy you parry into oblivion, every dodge, slide, grapple and rocket round - looks and feels fantastic. As her abilities and weapon collection expand exponentially throughout the campaign, Samus finds herself clambering around on magnetised pads with her brand new Spider Magnet, swinging around with a grappling hook, dodging through enemy attacks with a fancy new Flash Shift capability and much more. Samus herself has also never looked better and the exquisite amount of detail in her animations make her feel better than ever to control around the game's labyrinthine structures. There's so much detail here, from the prehistoric creatures you'll spot wandering around in the background, to creepy little terrors who flash by in vents and the mist-filled E.M.M.I areas, drained as they are of colour in an effort to ramp up the tension until you've finally taken the residing robotic terror down. This is a properly gorgeous adventure, with each of the various biomes of the planet ZDR that you puzzle and blast your way through coming with its own with unique and wonderfully detailed enemy types, flora and fauna, some truly stunning lighting effects and other fancy graphical bells and whistles.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Of course, one of the most exciting things in the build up to this brand new outing for Samus Aran has been that it's the first game we're getting a chance to play on Nintendo's fancy new OLED Switch, and we really can't think of a better title with which to introduce that amazing screen. It's a risky manoeuvre, adding a completely new mechanic like this to such a well-loved and heavily scrutinised franchise but, we're pleased to report, the Spanish developer has handed in a phenomenal new entry in the series that we just cannot stop playing.
