While many players have their eyes riveted on Far Cry 6, which also obtained a slightly disappointing Metacritic average, others were just waiting for the arrival of Metroid Dread, the new game exclusive to Nintendo Switch. Expected for October 8, 2021, the game developed by the Spaniards of Mercury Steam is also the one that Nintendo puts forward to promote its new console: the Switch OLED. It will also be marketed from October 8 and thanks to its new screen, brighter, better contrasted and larger too, we should take a little visual slap. What is it really ? According to the specialized press, the game is certainly pretty to look at, but it is clearly not its strongest point. It is indeed on the side of the gameplay that the game comes out with honors. By taking up the codes of the first episodes, Metroid Dread indeed reconnects with its origins, especially as the fighting has gained in intensity and depth. The game also offers a rare intensity for the license and the punchy staging also guarantees some pretty incredible boss fights. The level design also does honor to the series, with a rather surprising pace, especially in the second half of the adventure. With 88% average obtained on Metacritic, Metroid Dread is none other than the highest rated Switch game of 2021 so far. While waiting for our own test, here are the scores collected around the world.
