Title
I guess that it might be considered a bit odd that one of my favorite first-person shooters is one that's the antithesis of what many think that the genre should be: Instead of a high-octane, possibly war-based romp, it's a slow-paced, incredibly atmospheric and occasionally surrealist journey through the post-apocalyptic Russian underground. There's nothing inherently wrong with the former at all, but if you're not open to the idea of an FPS being anything but that you'll probably hate this. And the fact that this leans further towards survival horror than a lot of other mainstream-ish horror games, what with the limited ammunition that can also be used as currency and all, probably won't help, either. There are a few stealth sections in here that aren't the greatest (though thankfully you're not required to use stealth), but outside of that... this is just an absolutely haunting and beautiful experience.

    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.
