#39: Metroid Dread - Switch

Third and last new entry of the year. I was over the moon when I learned we were getting a brand new 2D Metroid title after such a long time. It was even more satisfying to get to play a version of Samus that felt so agile and badass. Metroid Dread plays flawlessly and brings a brand new planet to explore (

By the way, congrats on catching up! That was a lot.

Metroid Dread is also too low here, but I don't have another gif to post.

I've got 30+ years of games to fit on my Top 50. It's hard to make it up in the Top 30. Also, I might move Dread further up next year because even after 2 back to back playthroughs, I still feel like playing it.
