Metro 2033 Redux

Neat, but a bit too janky for my liking - the store system limits your options too much and makes you rely on scavenging weapons, and stealth doesn't work on monsters which renders it useless for half of the game. The movement physics felt too Bethesda/Gamebryo to me as well.

The story doesn't end on a particularly strong note. The Russian voiceover is rather uninspired most of the time, but has its moments - Artyom's monologues and Ulman's fascist joke come to mind. (I played the original version rather than Redux)

My personal fav Metro game, maybe tied with Exodus.

super fun

this game has aged poorly imo. i heard good things about the sequel though i kinda want to give it a try

avoid this game at all costs, it sucks. it butchered the book's story, the atmosphere is medicore at best and the gameplay is stiff and janky. combined with awful pacing it makes it a time waster.

“Read the book”

You can read? That’s pretty cool. Although, how is reading a book even slightly comparable to playing a video game? Wouldn’t recommending another FPS make more sense? This is still a fun and decently unique example of one, I think. I know this will sound crazy, but adaptions often take creative liberties.

Here’s my game review:
Read any book. Metro 2033 is good but there are a lot of really good books. Tons actually.

What did you say?

Yes, this is a review for a video game, obviously.
