Metroid dread. I like zero mission, fusion is my favorite in the series, i hate dread. Hate the emmi detection and insta-kill, it excuses excessive punishment for small mistakes and poor difficulty balance by removing any punishment for a game over, respawning you a single room back if you ever die. I just do not like it
First time i played the game my approach to the emmi sections was stealthy. Hiding from the emmis, staying completely still, going invisible all the time and only moving when i was absolutely in the clear. I never hated the emmis but i cant say i loved them either.
But when i played the second time, i changed the way i approached the emmis. I’d try to outmanoeuvre them by running and parkour. Not easy but the rush of adrenaline, the quick thinking required due to the fast gameplay made the emmi sections some of my favourite moments in the game.
Also the emmis are meant to give a sense of horror, hence the name “metroid dread”. They’re supposed to basically one shot you. But the parry mechanic is meant to be like a saving grace, or hail mary that gives you an extra chance, so it being very difficult to pull off was the intent
