Metro 2033

Metro 2033 was a torturing experience. Walking through tunnels and subway stations always get creepy because of the horrible sound monsters make when they stalk you. On the top of that the survival in this game is very strict, every bullet counts and if you're gonna run out of them, you will pretty much hate yourself for it. I would love that ammo survival idea only if the monsters weren't such big bullet sponge magnets. I found myself stuck in many situations where I had to run and avoid enemies, it felt like speedrunning the new record but honestly I just ran out of ammo.

The story is better than the gameplay, it basically introduces you to the world of the underground. It shows horrors and sadness but it also has its humorous moments. It would probably be a better idea to pick Russian VA since English VA is horrendous, that way you can experience the true Metro 2033.

#Metro2033 Rating: 8.5/10 Review : Metro 2033 is truly great game. Good plot ,excellent visuals, exciting gameplay and graphics. Survival mode really does make you think hard about your weapon setups which adds a whole new level of tension. Out of ammo = run and hope u can get to the next objective which happened to me frequently LOL. It was a great experience and i cant wait until i can play the sequal and then exodus. #4AGames

Got bored playing it, the graphics was trying their best to become like call of duty but wasn't better and storyline getting stupid and ammo always gone. I did like the last light one!

Please if you read Morkulvs review there are some considerations to consider as I feel he went into the game thinking it was something it wasn't and never was.

Firstly anyone who comes into a game that is mostly about post nuclear survivors scratching a living in the old tunnels of the Moscow underground Metro and expects an open world game clearly is missing a large point. While the game isn't a horror game it can rack the tension up by the atmosphere which is done well and it does look great, even though it is now 3 years old it still looks better than a lot of games that are larger in size, sometimes double the size

Some more points by Morkulv I'd like to counter are firstly the point he made about it not being clear where to go. You have a journal with a compass you can pull out at anytime that should, unless you really are someone who needs your hand holding throughout games, point you in the right direction. Yes there is invisible walls and the like but it's purely to keep the narration flowing. You CAN explore as the in-game money is pre war ammo and is littered about the game world for you to find and while it's no Just Cause 2 or GTA it's not marketed as an open world and as I said earlier, how open are underground tunnels

The use of QTE's actually make sense in the last level as they convey the struggle to get to where you are going and I can't think of anything that would have done such a good job.

Apart from a couple, one where I got a stuck on top of some crate and another where I got too far ahead of an NPC who then wouldn't move I doubt it has the number of glitches the other guy claimed.

All in all it's a solid shooter with good atmosphere, a decent story,rare for an FPS,and has really good gun play. Its not a mindless, follow NPC, Shoot here, shoot there, press E to win shooter like a CoD or the vastly overrated BF3, It's a shooter than has a modicum of intelligence. I gave it 8 but it is an 8.5 for me.

Storywise, I think it was original enough but if I were to point out some negative points there would be only a few to mention. Sometimes, when you get to explore out in the open, it's difficult where to go despite having a journal who guides you. It's misguiding and I fell into death a couple of times while jumping down from some building or platform.

Another thing is the chapter's length. Some of them would get me hours to finish up and some others were finished in five minutes, literally.

Perhaps there was a little trial-and-error in some scenarios. That got me playing the same thing again and again until I was lucky enough to figure it all out.

They happened to mention the autosave feature. It saves where I don't want it and I can't go back and restart my initial strategy. You have to adapt yourself to your mistakes; this game doesn't forgive you.
