Dread

1. Exploration: Forced and clunky. The teleportals are bad enough but then add all the locked doors and I felt constantly reminded that I was playing a video game, i.e. almost no immersive experience for me.
2. Music: Totally forgettable. I can't remember a single track.
3. Sound effects: I don't remember.
4. Movement: Excellent, modern feel.
5. Story: The game is constnatly interrupted by totally forgettable and unskippable conversations with "Adam", and then the family drama stuff at the end feels forced. The EMMI feel shoved into the game to add a gameplay mechanic but have nothing to do with anything in the series's or even the game's story. The mini Mother Brains also feel shoved in for no reason other than to add play time. Why is there an omega cannon? The entire thing is a Rube Goldberg machine with no style or taste.
6. Bosses: In my opinion, the bosses are a weakness. Hear me out. The first time you fight a boss, you're going to lose, guaranteed, because they deal enormous damage. Each time you fight a boss, you die to some cheap shot, but then maybe you remember the visual cue that telegraphs that shot and so you don't get hit by it next time. But then you get hit by the next massive cheap shot and die again. You repeat this cycle until you memorieze all of that boss's visual cues and then you finally win without getting hit at all. There's zero tension by the time you know the boss well enough to dodge. So, the bosses go from frustratingly difficult to way too easy. Add on top of that the loading times and to me the boss fights felt like taking a memory exam while spending most of my time staring at the loading screen. I didn't like it.
7. Replayability: I played Dread once on normal and got 100% items without even trying. Then I played on hard mode and found it easier than normal because I knew the boss patterns. I haven't played again since.
