Summary

Reviews Metroid Dread at £60, calling its side-scrolling shooting, puzzles, story, graphics, and Nintendo’s recycled franchises boring and unoriginal. He objects to no demos/refunds and its alleged 8–9-hour length, contrasting £60’s poor value with £35 New World and 400–500 hours played. Scores it 1.1/10, praises only Mario Kart on his Switch, and wants Sega classics like Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi revived.

Insight

His review reflects frustration with Nintendo’s perceived stagnation and preference for visually ambitious, innovative games.
