I know!!! Kiriko stans rise up! Rise from the throes of tyranny!

Someone counted the OW2 collab skins and iirc kiriko was only number two so YES she totally deserves at least two skins in the next collab!!

The story was ok but the ending fell flat. It attempted to be big and epic without making sense. Ethan's story came to a close and we'll see what the eventual IX looks like.

All in all, a really enjoyable, intense experience. Let's not wait an eternity for the next one please.

I concider the almost invincible E.M.M.I the primary enemy of the game. The dread I felt when I had to enter a zone with one inside was spectacular. The bossdesign was great and there were a few ones that I really had to grind to get through.

The level design follows the familiar pattern of exploration, finding new equipment, killing bosses and unlocking new routes forward. There's a nice mix of iconic old powers mixed with new ones. Especially the stealth gave memorable moments, avoiding the E.M.M.I.

I missed the 3D metroid era because I didn't have nintendo consoles back then, only Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion were my loves on the GBA. I played and got stuck and forgot Hunters on the DS at some point. Dread is a nice throwback to the traditional Metroidvania style.

I have an excel that I use to track them in private. Just got the idea of sharing progress here too.
