A Creality Ender 3 can be gotten on sale for under $150 USD. It's a great entry level printer if you want to learn the how's & why's of printing & like to tinker.
If you want to just push a button & have things work 90% of the time, I'd go with a Prusa MK4S, but those start around $800 USD...
Good luck on your printing journey! It's a fun little combination of crafting and tech.
I agree & I'm old enough to have played all the Metroid games when they were released.
The biggest problem with Dread is there's a million games that have released since the last 2D Metroid that have done so much more with the genre that the name isn't pulling it's weight like it once did, and they forgot to innovate.
They tried to recapture the "oh shit" feeling of encountering X from Fusion in Dread, but the quick-time instakill events just made it tedious and annoying.
The GBA/DS Castlevania games are all 8/10+ if you're a fan of metroidvanias and a collection recently released on Steam/Switch. They all take the same formula and change things to make it feel familiar, but different, and give you plenty of things to go back for after you're "done".
Finishing Dread became a chore about 2/3 through, it just stops being fun.
I'm waiting incredibly impatiently for Hollow Knight: Silksong, as Hollow Knight is pretty much the game all Metroidvanias is compared to at this point and it is top notch.
