Metroid Dread free update adds one-hit-kill mode

The excellent Metroid Dread will get both easier and hard today, via a free update which adds fresh difficulty modes.

Dread Mode is basically a one-hit-kill affair, where even the slightest knock will down Samus for good.

“A stylish, visually sumptuous return for 2D Metroid, and an adventure that proudly sits alongside the series’ best,” Martin wrote in Eurogamer’s Metroid Dread review, awarding it an Essential rating.
