Is Metroid Dread A Good Starting Point?

Metroid Dread is better designed and better polished than probably most other 60$ games out there today. The only problem I can see in starting playing Metroid games from Dread is that it would be a bit difficult to play the previous games in the franchise because of less movement mechanics, fluidity and control. It feels so good to control Samus in this game!

This was basically my first Metroid game and I loved nearly every second of it! I’ve only dabbled for a minute or two in Super and I only played about half of Samus Returns, but with Dread, I couldn’t stop! It had such a great loop, that I never wanted to put it down!

Can we just talk about how amazingly sequence breakable this game is? You can get 70% of all upgrades early some hours earlier than „intended“. It definitely shows that the devs love sequence breaking. Especially the shinespark

Speaking from someone who has just got Metroid Dread and is playing it while watching this, and has only barely dabbled in super metroid, you can definitely start with this
