Metro 2033 Redux

It's got a certain charm and personality in it that you definitely feel compared to the generic corpo slop that gets pumped out every year. It's amazing what a small studio with a vision and no leash can create! It's literal art! The story is based on a book series from some russian dude and I hear it stays pretty faithful to the books so if there's any accuracy to that statement then I need to go read the books bc the game was AWESOME! 10/10 would reccomend to anyone! Also. play in, "Ranger" mode for a unique experience where there's no HUD and some of the other mechanics really gives it this sense of realism that makes you feel like you really are out in the radiated wasteland of chernobyl or something struggling to survive!

Good story, good walkthrough and boss fights

Keeps bloody crashing!

This one is definitely an old school FPS. It's quite tough, totally linear and based only on gunfight and simple environmental puzzles. No sidequests, no factions, no perks, almost no exploration. You literally walk through a tunnel for 12/14 hours, depending on your ability. Sometimes you can take different passages to find ammo, gas mask recharges or stimpack, but the main path is always one, even in the levels on the surface, a pity. I played and finished it, because it has a unique atmosphere and a great setting: the NPC’s are well written and the graphics are still excellent. Dialogues and voice acting are ok, for a FPS. But the general gameplay is too old for today. We have no replayability here. For this reason my advice is to buy it only on discount, because once you have finished it it's very unlikely to play it again

This game was fun to play, it never felt like work. Every bit of the game felt like it was there for a reason and the story provides motivation to compel the player forward. The story is right up there with Mass Effect 1, the charters are cool, but not as fleshed out as in Mass Effect 2. A somewhat short game (which is great for a former young gamer who is now a grown-up without the ability to fully dedicate my life to beating a given game for weeks on end, I beat it in about a week playing 4-5 hours a day. The story was great, kinda seemed strange at first, but the way that it slowly opens up and tells you more about the state of Moscow after a global nuclear war is well done and really draws the gamer in and helps him forget that its a game. And it makes sense, the different factions are an extreme reflection of today's different political groupings. The fear is real, the flash of of muzzles in the dark subway as red beams of laser sights from your squadmates find their target with a satisfying thud in the side of an enemy and you desperately swing around to be sure there's no monster about to jump out of a hole in the wall and tear you to pieces.
