    I’ll admit that I never played Dread so I can’t comment on how she’s portrayed in that.

    The only reason I never played Dread was because I dislike stealth games. Nothing against those who do enjoy them of course.

      Oh, if you’re not gonna play it, spending an hour watching the cutscenes would not be wasted time. Dread definitely did Samus justice.

      ACTUAL SPOILER don't read if you're gonna watch or play it's cool as hell

      She ends the game as a very literal rage monster that Metroid-sucks the life force out of a space station

      And, mild encouragement to give it a shot though it may not be your vibe: I feel it would be more accurate to compare the EMMI segments in Dread to the survival horror genre than to the stealth genre. You’re really only hiding from the first couple, after that it was frantic fearful parkour. I remember the stress more than the sneak. But I may be remembering incorrectly.

      Edit: and they are just segments, very clearly delineated. Most of the game was actiony metroidvania fare.

      Dread isn’t a stealth game there are light stealth elements. But even the EMMI zones aren’t so much stealth as running away sections. Samus is portrayed fucking perfect in Dread. It’s a really really good game
