I like Metroid to be in classic format - as in Samus exploring and using her gun, not kicking around in melee like she is in Super Smash.

But, truth be told, Zero Mission is last 2D Metroid I really liked.

I mean... if that's how you feel, ok. But Dread is still 90% gunning. Even when you add the melee counter, whenever you activate it is followed by gunning.

I've played Dread, but never finished it - I don't know, I felt too constrained (I don't like how linear Fusion was as well). Maybe I'll give it a chance some day again, but for me Metroid as IP has been far surpassed in Metroidvania genre by other titles for quite some time now. So, it's not just combat, it lacks exploration freedom it once had.

All said, I'll be more than happy to be wrong about Ravenous.
