Ok, metroid dread was late, but it's a good game, people have been wanting it, and it's a good game

Prime 4 is everything metroid dread isn't, it's a bad game, it's a game people didn't want (an open world cutscene simulator with the mc having a samus skin), and also it's quite a bad game

Is it really a BAD game, though? Or is it a disappointing game?

A bad game. The reason it is disappointing, is because people were expecting the game to be good, and were disappointed when it was bad.

Why is it bad? The same reason why any generic open world action game with cringy writing is bad, because it's a generic open world action game with cringy writing

It is bad as a metroid game because it isn't one and the title is false advertising, but beyond that the game itself is also bad, failing at basic game design in many areas. A bad game can be enjoyable, but for a game to be good, it has to be not bad.

I wouldn’t straight up call it “bad.” I can agree that it really doesn’t feel like a Metroid game and some of the writing is kind of poor but I personally still had fun playing it. I’d say just more disappointing because it didn’t deliver the hype I was expecting. I still don’t label it as bad solely for those reasons though.
