How good was the performance and at what settings?
I played it too, it didnt have any optional settings. It ran absolutely smooth 90fps. It did run in a weird letter box resolution so Im not really sure if that was a janky ubisoft launcher instance or what. It wouldnt launch in game mode (previous was desktop mode) and I didnt bother fiddling around anymore to get it working. Might try some other time..

Edit: found the settings on main menu, not while in game. still runs at 90fps on highest settings, and the resolution was fixed.

There's been more than one users showing their dislike for the game based on its art-style and weren't joking. It's hard to detect it sometimes :p
Well I'm glad it's getting good reviews, maybe we'll get a proper POP game next.
Although I just want that Remake of Sands of Time

Cool to see this franchise still has life.

I actually hadn't played the others in a very long time if ever but I may check this out.
 
Imagine disliking wall jumping.
I’m 20 hours in and I think I am starting to dislike wall jumping.

Every room now is like: ”ok, jump, dash, jump, slide down wall, dash, jump back, jump repeated to climb wall, jump, dash through spikes, land on disappearing platform, jump, dash, jump, use ability to disable laser wall, wall jump while re-enabling laser wall, jump back, dash… finally land on solid ground… all for a coin”


Metroid Dread was the first game I bought with my OLED switch a few months ago. I played it for 30 minutes and never went back (Pokémon Legends and Octopath sucked me in). I didn’t realize it had similar gameplay.

About 15 hours in.

Still enjoying it, but the game is a bit too long. Not really seeing enough development in gameplay to justify the length.

Came back to this again this weekend since I put it down due to all the other games coming out.

Really enjoying it again picking up where I left off.

So strange we this AND another 2D prince of Persia in the same year. Rogue looks bad though lol.
 
I tried this game's demo on PS5 just to see what 4K/120 is like and I can say that while the gameplay mechanics feel very solid and the level design is surprisingly old-school, the character design and dialogue in this game is absolutely cringetastic. This game would have been a lot better if they just played it straight instead of trying to make it appeal to the Fortnite generation who wouldn't even play it anyways

Might pick it up on BF if it hits $15 just because I enjoy a mechanically solid Metroidvania type of game
