[The winner of this award was Metroid Dread]
Out of a year of duds, /v/ chose to fall back on the tried and true; a 2D Metroid game. Dread is a return to form for Metroid, and in more ways than you'd think. Yes, it's back to the original story. Yes, it's back to the original gameplay style, resurrected a few years back. But Dread's been in the oven for almost two decades now, and it coming back in the hour of need is a sign that maybe Nintendo cares about their other games after all.
Falling back on to the classic gameplay of Super Metroid, Dread doesn't fuck with the platforming, or combat. You don't fix what isn't brokеn after all. Instead, staying true to thе name, it adds an element of fear and stealth, evading deadly enemies that are near-unstoppable, creating a perfect tri-fecta of these three gameplay elements, and combining them together into one thrilling experience.
It's just... a game. A fun, classic, not-too-long, not-too-short game. No DLC, no amiibo fuckery, no hamfisted agendas or obnoxious gameplay tropes. It's just a classic video game, brought to you by some literal-who Spaniards, doing Nintendo's job better than Nintendo themselves.
