Metro 2033 Redux

Playing the game for the 2nd time ...because new games sucks...

This game and its successor Last Light are great games with stories full of atmosphere and drama, how you play affects the ending I've played 2033 twice but been unable to get the alternative ending. There is plenty to do, the weapons are interesting fun to upgrade and in my opinion well balanced to meet different needs. Stealth is an option and in some sections essential to survive. When in areas where a gas mask is required there is also the imperative to complete the section before your supply of filters runs out. Saves are at regular auto save points and each save overwrites the previous meaning if you screw up badly you may need to restart the whole mission however, this can be avoided as you know when an auto save takes place plus, on quitting it saves current progress if you want more saves all you have to do is quit the game after a save go to the 4A file in documents and copy the save file to a different folder yes, it disrupts the game flow and can be annoying but, it does mean you needn't have to start at the very beginning of a mission if you screw up near the end, you can replay any section in a completely different way or just replay a section you enjoyed. It's not necessary to play 2033 before Half Light but, I would recommend it as you will understand Half Light a little better. I have these 2 on Steam but, will probably re-buy them on GOG during a sale, if you enjoy this type of game I would recommend the Stalker series also available on GOG.

Wow... Only game last time which kept me awake up to 6 AM! Wonderful graphics for 10-years old game (even now), great atmosphere. I played with Russian audio for better immerse.

+ great story, humanity and its F-ups + Russia, its humor and logics + moral choices + post-apocalyptic atmosphere, survival and horror + scarcity of ammo, med-kits and filters + damn anomalies and mutants + graphics I really enjoyed the book and I think they did a good job with the game.

I own this game on Steam. Metro 2033 is a great game, set in russia after Moscu was nuked. In a way this game is a resource mannagement game mix with a linear FPS and a heavy atmosphere. You will never get lost in this game since is all in a linear path unless you scatter your resouces, you have to mannage your equipment, lights, bullets, guns, masks, health, etc. It is quite hard the first time you play, so don't get frustated and just play carefully. This game also has stealth so if you are low on resources you could simply sneak through the enemy base and get to the next part of the level very easly if you know the route. Gunplay feels right for the type of game this is, it isn't Doom fast, but is not a drag to shoot either, it's kinda slow really, reloading guns can be a chore in the middle of a fight. You can carry up to 3 guns, choose wisely. The game holds up amazing after all these years (a decade old game!) Visuals look visceral, the ambience strike with decadence, Moscu looks awesome and the music is also top notch, enemies look menacing specially the library monster, wish you luck there. In short this game is amazing, buy it if you like old school shooters and if you don't buy it as well, it is good time. WARNING: I don't know it was just me but there was one time the games deleted progress out of nowhere, i'm talking about a whole chapter! I was playing the game as normal as i sudden receive a message: "Game Paused" or something like that, in the chapter were you have to fight the Nazis. It deletes all the progress you done in that chapter, and the only way to solve it is to restart the chapter, be carefull with that.
