A glorious return to the franchise's 2D roots, Metroid Dread understands fully how to guide a player without making it seem obvious, and also provide means to sequence-break the game if so-desired. It's no Metroid Zero Mission or Super Metroid, but it's definitely up there.

The parry mechanic from Samus Returns... returns here, but with a way more lenient timing window, so trash mobs won't be demanding your attention left and right.

The EMMI rooms are quite a bit of a pain, however, especially the later ones.
