I watched the gameplay and honestly... does not look like a Metroidvania, more like an action game

It's not a problem, because Dread is already an action side-scroller and is a great game as it is. But I think it's missing a core feature from Metroid, which is maze-like structures and backtracking to explore new secrets. Of course, we can't just judge by a 17 minutes presentation, but it's the vibes I'm getting. Less "metroidvania" and more "action" from this one

But that was the intro section, I fully expect the planet Samus gets teleported to to have the standard maze-like level design.
