Even on its lowest settings the appearance of the world that surrounds you is impressive. POST APOCALYPTIC MOSCOW HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GOODĪesthetically, the game is a visual treat. There’s only a handful of types that you encounter, and the repetition can get be kind of daunting. If I have one complaint though with combat, it’s the homogenization of foes there isn’t a large variety of the dark ones. So if you’re the type of person that isn’t all that into resource management, then that mode is perfect for you. There’s no shortage of ammunition while playing in spartan mode either, one of the new modes for the game that now lets you pick between a more action or more survival-oriented experience. Even reloading is enjoyable, as the look and sound of loading the shells really immerses you every detail is made apparent. A plume of blood paints your gas mask or face, so much so that you need to wipe it off frequently in battle (which is a game mechanic). For example, when you fire a your shotgun at the mutated creatures, the sound effects are crisp and the damage is prominent. The rest that you meet are, for the most part, forgettable.įighting enemies in Metro 2033 though is quite satisfying, as your attacks feel like they carry weight. Those were rather appealing characters and a joy to fight alongside. The only time I felt really attached to anyone was when I came across a man named Miller and his team. The plot isn’t all that engrossing and characters depart shortly after they arrive, and they don’t make a lasting impression on you. He journeys to the surface of dilapidated Russia, traveling to Polis while fending off mutated creatures known as “the dark ones”. Artyom has spent his entire life in the tunnels of the old metro, Russia’s subway system and last haven for humanity, until one fateful day where he’s forced out of the safety of his home. You take the role as 20 year old Artyom, a young man in a desperate struggle to survive post-apocalyptic Russia. The game is based on the novel Metro 2033, and follows the book’s storyline with some liberties taken. My experience varied from frustration and boredom to joy. On the other, there were some issues that took away from the experience, such as the game running slowly, glitches, and some save points that were poorly implemented. On the one hand, this game was very atmospheric and displayed some of the most beautiful locales I’ve ever seen in a video game also, the combat was quite solid, making fights rather satisfying.
#Metro 2033 redux pc series#
I went into Redux, the brand new remake of the original title in the series and half of the Metro Redux package that also includes Last Light, fresh and I was left with mixed feelings.
I’ll be perfectly honest here, I’ve never played a Metro game before, let alone read the books. Like a roller coaster, Metro 2033 Redux had its share of ups and downs, but was this ride ultimately a memorable one?
