A phenomenal indie game. Highly enjoyed the gameplay and the level design. The characters and story were also pretty good, which surprised me. They aren't groundbreaking but I liked them. Violet was simultaneously unhinged yet adorable, Red was charming, and Yellow..was yellow lol.

I didn’t think that I could love Metroid more than I have but Dread brought my appreciation of the series to a new level.
Movement and combat is as tight and smooth as always. Enemies are solid and boss battles are sublime. Level design is great as always.
The atmosphere in this game was Metroid Fusion level which was very enjoyable. The EMMIs were great bosses that added an extra layer of anxiety to the game.
Lastly, the game is beautiful graphically. The cinematics felt very Metroid Prime-esque. Dread feels like an amalgamation of all the the things that I love about the Metroid games ❤️

Played the 2018 version a while back so did a NG+ replay on this version in preparation for Spider-Man 2.
Only did the main story but enjoyed it a lot. Probably not as much as I did when I first played it but it still holds up well. Story is still memorable, combat is fun (albeit a little repetitive), dialogue is great and the web swinging is phenomenal. One of my few gripes for the game are the number of stealth missions for MJ and Miles. A couple of them were cool because they lead to some cool lore being revealed but overall, I feel there should have been less. I also didn't mind Peter's new face, didn't bother me as much as I thought it would lol

Revisiting the Midgar portion of FF7 and experiencing this expanded version of it was great. Seeing the main cast fully voiced and in detail made me feel more connected to them and the story. I played on normal and liked, I definitely feel that the real time combat was utilized well, I don't think the design of this particular iteration of FF7 would feel as good if it was strictly turn based.
In regard to the expanded story, there was just enough depth added to make it feel more realized but not bloated or fluffed up. The story additions felt meaningful and purposeful.
