- Metroid Dread (Nintendo Switch) is an excellent return for the classic franchise. Here's why I love it and why I think all of the gameplay elements and new tweaks work perfectly together.

This game was the perfect difficulty for me. Harder games I have to stop and come back, but here I could keep progressing steadily until I beat it
I Love Megaman Xtreme 1 and 2!2 was My First Megaman Game!Now I have A GBC Gameshark!I Equip 4 Customizer Parts On Armored X And Zero!ABSOLUTE POWER!They Might Beat Samus Together!
Thats why I still haven't beat Sekiro, its a great game im just not good enough beat the final boss. I agree Dread is a perfect difficulty.
I almost treated boss fights and EMMI zones like a rogue-like, I died in most of them up to a dozen times but I would progress a little further in the fight each encounter until I ultimately won - great difficulty setting for me personally as well.
They give you just enough items and clues for you to have some fun challenge while not making the game too easy or absurdly difficult. If you play the game again after beating it, you will be familiar with all the tech and the bosses won't be that difficult, you could say that you become as experienced as Samus is.
For me this is the ideal amount of difficulty, I’m an old gamer (I did play the first Metroid as a kid) and that means I don’t have the time, patience and reflexes for many hardcore games and yet I was able to finish metroid dread without losing interest
Dread is fantastic, love the controls, audio, sound fx, and visuals. Love the series since the beginning. But this one, just brings together so many awesome ideas. Challenging, yet mastery, is worth it. Love the replayability as well.
Samus was absolutely oozing confidence in every animation. She was so unapologetically badass.
Fo' sho! Still don't see why those scenes are at 30fps though. Hate going from 60 to 30.
@@JorgeMartinez-dp3im its probably hand animated(?) since animating at 60 is not exactly great or it could be motion capture and the 30 fps is just a stylistic choice for a more animated look
@@gigabit5958 it's most likely due to the hardware not being able to push 60 fps during the cutscenes. Also you can't hand draw 3d animation.
@@TruTrae What about times without motion capture? There was no 3D animation at all? You can animate by hand like you can draw 2D by hand.
The intro to the Kraid fight is so badass. And you bet I watched it multiple times cause I got my ass handed to me in that fight.
This was my first Metroid game and one of my first MetroidVanias. Honestly? I’m hooked. I’m all in.
I never got stuck in a room (especially not Jaffe Room 😅) as the game told me how to progress if I met a dead end, and the game MASSIVELY railroads you (I wouldn’t say handholds like some) so that you always know where to go.
Game takes you to a new world, you get a new ability and it loops you back toward the transport system? Go back to the world you were in before; your new power will unlock a pathway there to progress. Come across a teleportal? Use it; that’s where you need to go.
The game also tells you what’s behind certain doors before you enter them whether it’s an E.M.M.I. door, you can see the heat/cold emanating from the room, it has a missile cover = upgrade or a big black worm thing = boss.
I never found the bosses to be too brutal either, even the final boss has very easy-to-learn tactics that just felt so, so, so fun to pull off.
I think you can definitely see the places the budget was stretched thin, but I absolutely ADORE this game. I’m just in my third playthrough after a 100% 14 hour run and a sub 4 hour run, now I’m on a hard sequence break run and it feels SO weird, but so much fun.
Hope y’all are loving the game and if you’re not I hope you find an awesome game that makes you smile soon! ❤️🙌
Samus has Big Mandalorian energy. Or I guess The Mandalorian has Samus Aran energy
This is the first metroid games Ive played since I was a child Its great been loving it also love your content man keep up the good work!!!!
I'm loving Dread so much, It's my second Metroid game. I'm really close to the end, and I feel the same as you on how I progressed, never really got stuck, and that the game trains you well. The map is super detailed and helped a ton. I don't really play metroidvania games ever, but this game definitely has me excited for the next 2D Metroid. Hopefully they'll be released more frequently!
It's freakin good. At first I was hesitant to buy it because of the game length. However, I'm glad I took the dive to play Dread as my first Metroidvania game I played.
Well, the genres named after Metroid and Castlevania SotN .
Personally I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Such a great game
What's wrong with the "game length"?
Metroid Dread is my favorite Metroid game. Hands. Down. I’ve been a lover of the series for a long time (since Metroid II on the Gameboy, though I never got very far as a kid). I re-fell in love with the series with Metroid Prime and I have played EVERY Metroid game since.
Metroid Dread captures the essence of what a Metroid and is and can be. The loneliness, the puzzling environment, the upgrades. It all works to it’s benefit. I got lost throughout the game, welcomingly 2-3 times on my first playthrough. I struggled through the majority of the major boss fights, and many of the smaller mini-basses, at least until I figured out the trick. The final boss fight is the best boss in the entire 2D series (another couple of bosses hold the top 5 spots for me).
Since my first playthrough. I’ve played, and beat both on Hard mode (under 4 hours) and normal mode (under 3 hours), and am currently playing through it a 4th time on Hard to get 100%.
Jake, I want to thank you for all the quality content that you, and the gameranx crew put out. You are phenomenal content creators who should be proud of the channel(s) you’ve created, and the success you’re seeing on RUclips.

I agree with you on the difficulty. I'm also the kind of gamer that likes to just experience the story, and while there were some difficult bosses there wasn't anything I couldn't beat after 30 minutes or so and figuring out their patterns. It just felt like the Metroid I've always loved.
My DUDE. I’ve been waiting for this one!
This was the first ever Metroid game I’ve ever played and I absolutely loved it from beginning to end. In my first run I just kept exploring everything to no end and it was fantastic. Since then I’ve replayed it like 5 times already lol.
Metroid dread is one of my new favorite games of all time. I absolutely loved everything in this game.
I loved the kraid boss fight. It had flair, great difficulty balance and great art.
Cheers jake
I love it so much. I've played through it twice and can't wait for more.
I knew I was gonna like this game, but not this much. I think this is one of my favorite games ever. From the gameplay to the difficulty, to the environments… It’s just an amazing experience. Loved Samus through the whole game and how badass she was. But the highlight is definitely the difficulty. I was kinda “stuck” with one of the bosses but it felt so rewarding once I defeated it and that’s the thing about it. Once you get the hang of it and finally get through the boss and all that stuff its just *chef’s kiss*. The story is slow but effective (specially that ending). Mercurystream did a really good job with Samus Returns but Metroid Dread is just amazingly good that I honestly think it’s gonna be difficult to top this. Love Metroid games but this one is probably my favorite. Now let me keep playing while I wait for Metroid Prime 4…
Metal Gear Solid and Tony Hawks Underground are literally two of my favorite games ever.
Also, Dread is fantastic. Im not even the biggest Metroid fan, but this is easily my favorite game ive played all year.
:)
This was technically my first Metroid game but far from my first Metroidvania. I didn't get lost a whole lot and the bosses definitely kicked my ass a lot but they're so fair you can avoid everything if you're good enough. I think my favorite boss was Experiment Z-57
So this is the first metroid game I've actually played, but it's far from the the first metroidvania I've played. Honestly, I think this might be my new favorite of the genre, and it's taking that title from Symphony of the Night, so that's pretty impressive.
Also this game has the coolest style of Samus's suit by far. Fight me if you disagree.
Yeah it really is the coolest looking suit. I wish you could change back to it later in the game
absolutely my game of the year!! loved how the always nudge you just abit so you knew where to go.. love letter to old games
You've convinced me to try out my first Metroid game :)
I feel like this is the most fun I’ve had in a game this year. The difficulty was hard but in a good way. That is weird for me to say because I don’t like dark souls and other punishing types of games that just stress me out. Returnal would be on par with this, at least for me, if only it didn’t start you at the beginning and instead had checkpoints. The way the checkpoints in this game let me continue to bash my face against a boss until I figured out how to win kept me feeling encouraged and accomplished. It didn’t punish me by making me walk across the entire map just to get back to a boss. I knew I would die to new bosses but I tried my best each time and felt so much joy as I got further and further along to beating them. I just beat the final boss today and I really didn’t want the game to end. I just can’t emphasize enough how great playing this made me feel.
I wasn't planning on picking this up any time soon because I'm already playing Final Fantasy 14 and New World, but I wanted to pre-order Mario Party Superstars and decided to throw Metroid Dread into the cart as well. This is my first Metroid game (but not my first Metroidvania) and your Before You Buy video (and now this) definitely helped convince me to dip my toes into it. Thanks for the great content Jake!
Picked it up. Excited to play it after I finally finish Skyward Sword.
I got stuck like 3-4 times in regards to navigation, and I found enemy/boss difficulty to be challenging but fair. And of course it just felt like a genuine Metroid all the way through that pretty much felt like both a love letter and a new beginning. This all around was just the perfect game that this series really needed.
I haven’t played a Metroid game since the og nes and just started dread and I love it so far
Ok mercury steam... now let's make a sequel to castlevaina symphony of the night!!!!!!!!
LET'S GO!!
Or just a new Castlevania In general, it's been way too long.
This game, man.... easily GOTY. It's my first time playing Metroid and it couldn't be better. Thing's so well-paced, so rewarding. I caught myself nervous, heart-pouding, feeling some parts were a huge pain in the ass, I felt like shit but then I'd think "they wouldn't make this thing impossible, i CAN do it" and I'd repeat and pay attention, and progress, die, progress some more... and when I took those suckers down, I felt like the most badass person in the galaxy, just like Samus. Kudos for the vid, always nice to hear from ya ♥️
Metroid 2 on GB was my first video game ever so it was really nice to come full circle and get a 2D Metroid game on the switch.
That God dang purple bug… You know the one.
Dread was excellent. Probably one of the harder Metroids, but it managed to be difficult without being frustrating. It's super forgiving and gives you lots of check points so it's easy to jump right back into the action and get a little better with every attempt. Loved it, maybe my favourite Metroid. (of the ones I've played so far)
I could be way off but it seems like the devs may have gotten a little inspiration from ID and doom eternal. The addition of flash step has made movement in combat feel incredible especially in boss fights.
Metroid Dread is either my game of the year or second to Axiom Verge 2 and one of my two favourite metroidvanias along with the aforementioned.
GOTY is going to be between Returnal and Dread
You're right about one thing: difficulty is definitely subjective. I always like a challenge, there are certain things that I just really cannot put up with. I understand why everybody loves Hollow Knight. that game is just beautiful, But in terms of difficulty, I had an easier time playing Metroid Dread than I did Hollow Knight, And Metroid Dread is pretty freaking hard!
Props to Mercury Steam
Metroid Dread was my GOTY 2023
it was great it was nearly too hard the first time but that was more to do with missing counters being incredibly punishing, but it was overall a 11/10 experience, nearly never got lost and had beaten the game and filled the gallery in a few days
Dude, I agree about the difficulty thing. I honestly don't have time to mess around with one boss for thirty years while all my other games and life atrophy around me. I play games for the experience and escapism and because I love them. I've totally missed out on Metroid, but I can't wait to jump into Dread.
Brosif!!! Oh my how amazing this game is buddy!! I was 11 when the original came out and when 45 year old me thinks of the original NES game...this game is what the original looks like in my mind..does that make sense??? This game brought all of the raw emotions i felt as an eleven year old immediately!! I was so worried they would F this up and it turned at better than i could have imagined!!
Also on a side note i freaking love how awkward the transportation scenes between areas are with the awkward camera angles of Samos....not sure why but it def makes me laugh every time haha
To me dread isn’t easy but it isn’t hard too and I’m the type to play games for the story not really the difficulty (not a lot of time to die a million times) though I died in dread more than I care to admit it kept me coming back for more I think it’s fantastically made (first time playing a Metroid game)
I'll try to play it with DualSense... I played Metroid II on GameBoy, can't wait to get into it.
I had a really tough time with some of the late game bosses, and couldn't beat the final boss at all.
Quick tip, power bomb destroys his black hole and star things, makes the final phase significantly easier.
I’m stuck on that final boss, feel like I’m gonna break my switch lite by the end of this lol
My problem with Metroid Dread's difficulty mainly comes down to the controls. Multiple actions require you to press and hold several buttons at once and require precise movements of the analog stick. Metroid Dread would be much better if it had options to reduce button inputs, slow the game speed, and some form of aim assist.
Dread is my favorite game I have played in the past 10 years. I loved it.
The difficulty is perfect. On Normal Mode, I died approximately five times per boss, I'd say. On Hard Mode, it was about the same. The only boss that took a million tries on Hard Mode was the last boss. The Chozo soldiers were really easy on my second playthrough. I died a lot more just navigating around on Hard Mode however just from the increased damage taken by peons.
Level design, new enemy designs, and new abilities were all great. I liked that it didn't just fall back on old designs for everything, but everything still felt like Metroid. The music was not great, but I like that it was all original instead of just remixes of Norfair and whatnot.
The pacing of the power-ups was a little off IMO. For example, the space jump is acquired so soon after the spin boost that it might as well not be in the game. The power bomb is introduced so late that it's basically only useful for item hunting right before the last boss and for fighting the last boss.
Everyone raves about the boss fights, but I thought they were just ok. Not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but just not that memorable (I played the game twice in two weeks, and I'd already forgotten about half the bosses from my first playthrough). I think Fusion had the best boss fights overall.
The length of the game was also pretty good. It took me 13:16:53 on Normal for 100% items, and 6:32:39 on Hard with 69% items (nice).
This man owes me for a lot of pizza
I loved the game so much I beat it 3 times. Once in Hard mode and 100% got all the items in the game. It's gofty for me.
Never played Metroid but it does look good, only have a Switch Lite rn so I'll wait until i get a real one to try and play this
I want to try this game. I don’t mind the game being on a hard side, so long as it trains you well and paces the difficulty. I like how Ghost of Tsushima handles it. I went from medium to hard within a single play-through. And looking to go further even. But if this game trains you well as a player, I can’t wait to try it... And def do a video on game difficulty it’s something that’s subjective and rarely discussed! My whole gripe is old game mechanics in new games just to make them difficult, or really just annoying.
Metroid dread is not the least bit hard, bosses might seem hard but after 3/4 try’s you see patterns and adapt, far from hard.
Personally, I need a sh figuarts or figma figure of this Samus to go along with my other two versions of other m and Metroid corruption I believe. The game is fun I'm not the greatest player like you but I play games for enjoyment and that's pretty much it I'm enjoying it.
Bought the OLED a few days ago (i’m a sucker for a new console) and got Dread yesterday as a prize for beating my girlfriend in mini golf… 1/2 hours in, Dread is amazing, makes me want to play more games like this, the fluidity is what makes it for me!
I’m halfway through it (I play 20-30 minute at a time) . I’m not a great gamer either. (On a scale of 1-10, I’d day in a 4) and I agree with you 100. It’s old school hard, but not unfair.
For example, I had to try one boss 15 times, but never felt like that losses were cheap. I tried the same guns blazing strategy 6 times, failed. Then realized it was about finesse and focused dodging. From there it was just observing patterns and improving my focus. The whole game has been that way so far. Tough, but fair. You learn from your mistake you die a lot. You pay attention to clues or walk around lost forever. The game doesn’t forgive lack of effort or lack of focus. And that’s how it should be.
Hey Jake, let me start off by saying this is my first Metroid game since Metroid prime and as you said it has that classic Metroid feel but jus the right amount of new things into it to keep me hooked I haven’t finished to be honest I’m still in the first stages I haven’t even got the rolling ball yet but it’s so hard to put down…lol til next time pizza’s on you 😁
I was going to pick up this game today and then I saw the price tag, realised I had no money with me, and then remembered that I was there because my dad had to find a game for my little sister and I decided to go with him
This was the first time in a long while that I actually lived a 2d game.
I got lost once for while. But I’m loving it. Borrowed my cuz switch lite and his left thumb stick is messed up so giving me trouble on final boss but I’m in love with this game.
The game is really awesome. I agree with the things Jake said. The difficulty is just right!
Not enough to keep you stuck, but just enough to pose a satisfying challenge.
If there was one thing I wish the game was bit better in, is the music department.
Don't get me wrong the music design is solid, but for me it lacks that one theme that gets stuck in my mind, like Chozo Laboratory from Metroid: Samus Returns.
I kept waiting for that one music track that would make me get super pumped.But it did not come.....that's just my opinion.
Again the music is not bad, but not as good as in Samus Returns...then again, this does come down to personal taste.
Other than that....the game is perfect!!! The improved mobility Samus has is as badass as it can probably get! The bosses were awesome!!!! All cinematics were either god tier or awesome tier :D
And level design was as solid as it can get.
its a genuine Metroid game. These games are known for being challenging period. Always have been, always will.
Hell yeah Metroid is my sh*t, I don't even have a Switch yet, I have a Xbox Series S, but Dread is what I'm getting one for and I'm glad it's good people seem to like it alot. Thanks for the review 👍
I loved Dread. I've been playing metroid games since the 80s and this felt like a really good Metroid game to me. I didn't care for the EMMI encounters. With some of the later encounters it really felt like they wanted you to follow a certain path in defeating them. I know the better you are the more freedom that opens up in dealing with them but those encounters were my least favorite part of the game.
Only thing that gets to me with Metroid games is the map and filling it 100%. Obviously it’s something that isn’t required, but I have hardcore “just right” ocd so I must fill all squares on the map. They give you the tools to do it so, thanks Nintendo?
I legitimately think this game will be in the discussion for best video game of all time
Case and point if you’ve played at least one Metroid game before this one you’re going to have an easier time,I’ve been playing Metroid since super Metroid when I was nine years old and now since playing Metroid fusion and zero mission I know when I’m in a room that looks suspicious I just start shooting stuff lol
That thumbnail tho 😂
Easily GOTY
I love this game so I watch videos of videos of people liking the game
Good video 👌
How does this compare to other metroidvenia games like Ori and Hollowknight? I’m afraid it just gets all they hype because it’s a big budget Nintendo game, and the first 2D Metroid in how many years.
I love Metro dread big facts💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I think if anyone ever accused Jake of flexing, they would just be showing they were new to the channel or incredibly thick because he just never comes across as that type of gamer/person and is consistently humble whenever he talks about himself.
Samus should look confident after all the ass she’s been kicking every game. Not a unstable moody adult they portrayed her as in Other M.
Fuck that purple Beatle mini boss. Lol
Also I feel the game holds your hand a lil too much. Like blocking off areas and forcing you to keep moving forward.
Otherwise, the games great!!
It really is epic
Dread was amazingly well designed.
The first time I got stuck I kicked myself 15 minutes later for not trying the obvious thing. The second time I got stuck I realized how many there were clues in the environment that told me where to go and what to do. After that I was crusing.
Metroid dread is my game of the year, it was a blast. I usually dont get hooked on games but this got me, and I am not even nostalgic as dread is my entry into the series. Though played lots of other metroidvanias, but this game show why Samus is the queen. I got stuck like maybe 3 times, and yah all the main bosses were really cool, sub bosses def harder.
I loved this game so much. Learning the patterns of bosses felt so good, (Like I truly felt like I was learning) and having to experiment with different things to learn that you can get through a phase quicker felt so satisfying. I can’t even begin to say how many screenshots I took lmao. And like the suit designs just look incredible! Especially the last one holy did it look sick!
Metroid fusion got me into the franchise and genre and Dread is so damn good when everything clicks for ya. Definitely my game of the year.
This is the very first Metroid game I’ve ever played and I loved it so much I bought a gameboy advanced and Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission immediately after beating dread.
And how do they hold up
Man, I got stuck for like an hour and then realized ADAM literally told me where to go. Felt like an absolute dumb-ass.
Same here lol 🤦🏾♂️
Lol I always get stuck at the dumbest parts on games too
Was it when dude drained the water?
@@WebbanationX Yes it was lol!
@@JorgeMartinez-dp3im you know what happened? You were so use to him regurgitating bullsheeit you already knew, when he finally gave you something useful, you ignored da FAWK out it. Understandable 🤣
Those boss counters made her look so badass. I was excited whenever I saw a yellow glow. Difficulty wasn’t super bad. At worst I’d step away, do something else, then I’d come back and kill the boss almost flawlessly. Now I’m doing all the speed boost puzzles and having a frustrating blast haha.
That counter scene when you fight Experiment Z57 made me wonder what a Metrod movie would look like, and now I want one.
@@moondawwg That’s the one I always think of. It’s been my favorite.
@@moondawwg That one was badass, but I think my favorites was the phase transitions on the final boss. The way Samus moves around the boss is just so fluid and precise it is amazing.
Love this game, everything about it is so perfect, definitely deserve to be GOTY
The genre really hits the spot for me, and the focus on consistent bosses that were 100% avoidable was a huge plus for me. It's one of the things I love about the Souls series, where you can beat the game as a level 1, because it's all about mechanics and execution. I did find a couple fights quite challenging at first, but quickly was able to find my own ways to overcome them. The freedom in combat really caught me off guard and it left me open to trying crazy things that often worked. I was really hoping a new Prime game was coming soon, but honestly I'm glad this came first. Dread was a kickass, solid experience. It was compelling enough for me to 100% my first run at around 12 hours. Not sure if that's good, but it was a blast. I did have to completely explore around the end of the first area to realize I had to shoot out a wall in the second area to progress, but it felt pretty natural and I was back in the flow pretty quick. Glad you enjoyed it and can't wait to see Metroid Prime 4!
Samus feels lethal, but only as lethal as I can make her, and I feel like that's why despite dying so many times I never felt like the game screwed me. It always felt like "oh crap well maybe next time if I try this..." And I'd always get better and better every attempt. How badass Samus is is how badass I can make her and that's a damn good feeling to have.
Game is my first Metroid game ever and im so happy i did play it. I think this game is really awesome.
Love to hear it!
Love it so far. Got stuck in one spot where I wasn't sure what blocks to shoot. The bosses are hard as are the mini bosses, but you learn* a little bit with each death and come back strong.
Good good stuff, worth the wait and worth full price IMHO. 👍
I beat this game twice and LOVE the hell out of it. Its a joyous journey just going from one place to another. Learning an area, the floorplan, the color schemes of travel, the interactive way you come across different enemies and best ways to defeat them, there's so many things this game has to offer. I got lost the first playthrough like many and didnt know where to go or what to do cause I never played Metroid a lot. But with youtube walkthroughs all over lets me see exactly where needed to go from where I was stuck and see where I needed to go to understand the game better. The more I progressed the more even greater my joy was and this game isn't really hard, it's just got a learning curve everyone will have to pick up on and once it clicks... oh boy it's awesome. This game is gorgeous and cleverly designed as well and probably the number 1 game next to Breath of the Wild that I can pick up later in the future and just enjoy myself with another playthrough.
I agree 100% I was shocked when people were doggin it for the difficulty for me it was like each boss fight was a puzzle/ rhythm and every time I beat one I felt like a badass and I’m not one for difficulty I usually beat my games on normal and I’m definitely not a souls type guy lol. Playing super over the summer was a big help too I guess cause I felt right at home here
I think it’s a Metroid thing. Never got Stuck on this game and enjoyed every minute. 10/10 imo. First game I’ve beat in a while.
I'm rarely such a completionist but I'll take any reason I can to keep playing this game. That's why I got 100% items before beating it and why I'm replaying on hard mode under 4 hours
I keep going between this and super metroid. I've loved the series for such a long time. My favorite part is the fact that they're never a walk in the park.
Sequence Breaking in this game is so good. Highly recommend stuff like Boss insta kills and early upgrades it really changes the pace of the game. For example Early 👏Gravity 👏 Suit 👏. Also I would describe the game not as hard or difficult but definitely Challenging. The difference being Challenging has you learn and get better to overcome the challenge while being hard implies a difficult task to overcome no matter what skill level you’re at.
I loved Metroid Dread! When I picked it up I could not put it down. It's a short game, but so so so sweet. It's a challenging game, but so satisfying when you get over those humps. Great experience.
I got stuck hard after finding the grapple, I just started sweeping the map and found so many items I had passed up. Been loving it so far though.
This is the first 2d Metroid game I’ve ever played, I’ve mostly stuck to the prime series, but boy am I glad I tried it, this games rules
Try Metroid Fusion! Definitely worth, super fun.
It's a really well balanced game that teaches you how to get better and it's very rewarding as you progress. It's amazing. 💗
it's my first Metroid game, and it is epic in every way
First Metroid game for me and absolutely cannot put it down. My switch has been collecting dust the last few months until this one came out. It's been a pleasant surprise and made me wanna get on some of the older games. Going for Super Metroid once I finish this off!
Difficulty is a mixed bag 4 me. While i haven't played this 1 yet i love some hard games like Returnal and Cuphead, where there seems to b an emphasis on fun but i don't vibe with Dark Souls who seem to be hard for hards sake
yeah it's an interesting topic. man I might do a whole video just talking about hard games and game design and stuff
@@JakeBaldino thats a dope video idea
This game definitely isn't like dark souls where it is just convoluted for the sake of being obtuse
@@JakeBaldino do it
@@chovymasters7577 No need to put down dark souls.
