Metro 2033 Redux

Played: Version 1.03 (4 years old - latest version at the time of writting) PC used: R5 5600x / GTX 1070 / Win 10 Pro 10.0.19045 For years I tried playing this game but every time I tried it never clicked with me, I just couldn't get past the sort of rough start to the game. Some voice lines sounding odd and yet comical, the UI had some oddities I couldnt figure out, and the movement/gunplay felt weird (somewhat close to Rainbow 6 Siege which I dont like its gameplay). This time I pushed through those first few levels and I'm glad I did, it definitely gets better after them. It took a longer time to get used to the UI and quirky gunplay/movement but I did eventually.. for the most part, glad I did as the level designs in this game looks fantastic and gets better as the game goes on. Story wise it's pretty decent (ramps up in the later half of the game) but when you read the diary notes that's where it gets deeper into your characters thoughts, and that's where the message the of the game comes to life. Glad I could download the manual because I needed it for figuring out some elements like my watch and what it's parts indicate. No Audio issues, one crash late in the game, and quite a few textures seemed to flicker with other textures they lay on. Overall really solid game for the most part. Side note leave SSAA off or at the most at 0.5 as it dropped my framerate hard when I used anything higher than 0.5. All other settings I could max. 8/10

świetny interfejs, piękna grafika, wciągający gameplay i długość w sam raz. Polecam każdemu fanowi strzelanek i klimatów post-apo.

Klimat to element nie odłączny od serii Metro i Stalker'a. Otoczka utworzona przez twórców gry jest niebywała wygląda nie ziemsko. Historia przedstawiona ukazuje zrujnowane wojną atomową miasto , które cudem przetrwało i podzieliło ludność. Gra ma już swoje lata mimo to trzyma się dobrze. Najbardziej widać jej lata świetności po animacjach .Co by nie mówić o tej grze raczej każdy potwierdzi , że część animacji jest tak drewniana , że przez tą suchotę trzeba się napić. Jedyne co można by było jeszcze dodać jest to brak dostępu do pierwotnej części Metro 2033 z 2010 roku gdyż nie można jej nigdzie kupić to by mogli chociaż w ramach kupna Metro 2033 Redux dodać za darmo do biblioteki orginał.

A great game, everything that has been said about it is true. Fun to shot things, fun to sneak around, and a nice story to boot. But I gotta say nice it's nice to play a complete and well made game in like 12 hours or so. As I have gotten older I don't have time for games like I used to. Hell I struggle to find time to watch a 90min movie these days without life getting in the way. But I hey I like my life and games like this fit well into it. I can get a nice complete experience in a weekend- or just by staying up a little late over a week. Nice game for folks with little time for games like they used to.

STALKER-Esque narrative driven linear FPS. Good story, good graphics, plays really nicely, very smooth and fluid. However... I'm not a fan of rail shooter elements and escort missions (No Spoilers) Other players have said that the gas mask filter mechanic was an issue. I didn't feel it that way and I didn't run out of them. I ran out of ammo a lot though and couldn't seem to gather enough ammo to upgrade my weapons, just little minor tweaks here and there. I'll try not to spoil it too much, but the Archive level with the Librarians was a deal breaker for me. Completely and utterly tedious, which wasn't helped by the lack of manual saving. Tried the pacifist route, didn't work. There was always one that just wanted to kick the shit out of me despite me using the correct tactics. Couldn't kill any as no matter how much ammo, slugs, arrows, explosives and fire I threw at them they just laughed and kicked the shit out of me anyway. Watching other players on YouTube killing these things easily didn't help, wasn't working for me. Sadly, this level ruined the game for me and I quit. I would recommend playing if you can put up with some tedious levels with only checkpoint saving, then you'll have a blast.
