I bought this, thinking it was a good time, but also thinking it wasn't that grade. 90 hours later holy shit I love this game and haven't stopped playing it since January
The score is because of its amazing story, the gameplay is fine, it gets really tedious at points but for the most part it's good enough to endure for the greatest video game story
Even if people say that its way more over the top, or that the gameplay is broken by first person aiming (which is is), it's still a damn fun game, one of my favorites in the gamecube
The bosses, the music, the graphics, the extensive lore, and made by 3 people? And 15 bucks? This is definitely a must buy for any metroidvania enthusiasts that somehow haven't tried it out
This game is peak 2d Metroid, damn was it a good birthday when I got dread. Especially the bosses, man Raven beak is still the best final boss I've played. Only downside is that the music isn't as good as other Metroid games, I hope Kenji Yamamoto is more involved with prime 4's ost
