Title
Based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel, Metro 2033 outlines the journey of a young man trying to stay alive in a dystopian, post-nuclear Moscow. Subway stations are the hubs for all human activity. Between the stations is a merciless world of mutants and bandits, ready to kill anyone for their own survival. While the game follows very closely in line with shooters like Call of Duty and Half-Life, its well-realized world is what makes it stand apart.

As you travel from outpost to outpost, you are presented with different colonies with their own ideologies. Nazis and Soviet Communists present a bigger problem than the winged demons that fly far above the subway tunnels. In an attempt to compliment the book’s realism, the game relies heavily on item management and small burdens on the player, such as having to manually pump your flashlight every five minutes. The game displays an adventurous spirit as well as the faulty controls and design that are expected from games that are developed in the Ukraine. Metro 2033 is at its best when it lets you explore the homes of its characters and the horrors that lay not far beyond, without having to aim a gun.

    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)

    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.
