Metro Without the Metro
You can't make a Metro game without the Metro and still call it Metro. It's amazing how far they went in completely forsaking the core lore of the franchise. Remember the Dark Ones that were the central focus of the two previous games? Well, you can forget about them because they're not here. They don't even matter! Remember the Metro's mysteries, the supernatural creatures, and the amazing lore that was being built around them? Well, you can forget about that too because it's not mentioned here. It's not even remotely touched upon. This is just another "survival after the apocalypse" game. You could have called it Mad Max and it would have amounted to the same thing. They inherited such a creative and richly potential world storyline, and they dumped it for cannibals and pseudo-zombies. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fine game, but they really killed its more interesting aspects. It feels like a watered-down version. Not to mention the special atmosphere of those solitary journeys through the Metro's tunnels, a feeling you'll never experience in this game. The open world aspect doesn't mesh well with the Metro franchise because it ends up being the worst of both worlds: You have the linear game mechanics of corridor games, but combined with the openness of an open world where there's nothing particular you have to do (there are small details, scenes, and dialogue scattered here and there, but nothing really interesting). Worth mentioning: 1) I experienced MULTIPLE game-breaking bugs, forcing me to reload earlier saves. 2) The ending is clearly rushed and abruptly ending, they were probably running out of money. 3) At under $10, this is still very much worth the purchase, but it's a disappointment for fans of the Metro world like me.
