About the game
A Metroid entry co-developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo, released on Nintendo Switch in October 2021. Bounty hunter Samus Aran explores planet ZDR, regaining her abilities and opening up new paths. Sections where you're chased by E.M.M.I., robots you can't defeat, add extra tension.
Why we recommend it
The first new numbered 2D entry in 19 years from the series that pioneered the Metroidvania genre, expertly blending fast action with the dread of being hunted.
Good for — Great for: anyone who loves boss fights and exploring a map that opens up with every new ability
