Playing Metroid Dread is like watching Michael Jordan come back in 1995. You know it's the best. You're glad it's back. But... It's not championship material.

I'm enjoying it but there are just other games that have taken what 2D Metroid has perfected and refined it even, uh..perfecter (?). At this point, maybe 30% in, I think I was enjoying Samus Returns more.

It won't be the first time a game kinda let me down in the beginning only to blow me away later on. I'm hoping!

Keep playing. I was ambivalent at first as well. Then it opened up and gets much better. The bosses are especially a highlight.
