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

Most of the prime games opened with more linear action orientated sections, followed by the more classic metroidvania style after. Especially prime 3. So I imagine this will be similar.
