Well written, occasionally heavy-handed
Having played through the Stalker series a long time ago, I got the game for free and decided to dedicate a few evenings to seeing its counterpart. Mind you, I did not play the other Metro games yet, so some of these points may not be as valid. That said, a game should be able to stand on its own, and this one does - mostly. Just finished it and will probably play it again down the road, but there are a few points that did stand out both positively and negatively. First off, I adore the setting. It is intricate enough that I don't immediately see through the shadows, there's clear thought put into the way this world would work, and the characters are (mostly) believeable. Voice acting, direction and sound/music is well done. Graphics are something I tend to ignore, so no comment there. A few parts are silly, where the game expects you to - after a cutscene at the end of the level - walk another 10 steps before ending the level. There are some railroad parts, and a few deaths due to the game being unclear on where to go, but overall they were not overly disruptive. The romance option still stands in my memory as a low point. The love-interest has two 3-minute conversations with the protagonist over the course of the the first half of the game before they do the nasty. It was very obvious what purpose she served to the story, and while her voice acting is fine, the flip in her personality couldn't be more heavy-handed if it was embedded on the page with a maul. I suspect content was either cut, or the 'romance' bit was forced in due to a poor directive order making it mandatory. I personally wouldn't pay the $20,- asking price for it, but with a discount it is a perfectly good experience for the money.
