I was so impressed with Metroid Dread, like seriously. As a long time fan of the series I was going to buy the game anyway but it’s just such an impressively polished and put together piece of art. I was deeply impressed with it. I’m also a big fan of the direction it’s taking the lore into.
Edit: can’t get the spoiler tag to work so I just removed the second half of my comment sorry
I didn’t mind them that much, I viewed them more as a puzzle than a combat. It helped break up some of the run and gun of the rest of the game and you always knew you were getting a cool ability when you got through it.
That said though I’ll admit the last couple EMMIs did give me a really hard time with many, many resets. But I did get through them. And once I even managed to get the perfect parry and escape after getting got by the EMMI and it was extremely hype.
Got a few on the go because I recently got a Switch.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder: just about 100%.
Metroid Dread: awesome.
Moonlighter: great for a few minutes here and there.
Axiom Verge: for when I get stuck in Dread.
The to play pile is growing, so I better finish one of those soon. Hades and Iconiclasts will have to wait a bit.

Dread was great, but the EMMI sections were not fun at all. Especially since you could walk into the room and immediately die with no way to stop it.
