Metro 2033 was developed by former S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs, but is presented in a more linear, COD-style campaign format, Metro 2033 is like a condensed version of that wonderful world that draws you in with incredible true-to-life detail. Combining FPS twitch shooting with survival horror ammo conservation, tension, and atmosphere Metro 2033 presents a bleak picture of society, now living in the sprawling metro tunnels underneath Moscow, Russia due to a world ravaged by nuclear devastation. This society is well-realized, not only featuring a unique currency system based on the most important resource in the world (bullets), but also seeing just how people have settled into and set-up shops around the various tunnels is so interesting to me. It's not your typical dilapidated buildings (though they're not toally absent either), it has locations that I think feel truly lived in and established, and most importantly, makes a lot of sense to traverse and experience. There's such a rich culture that permeates the entire game that I really could spend hours just sitting at a little bar taking in the environment if I could. Combined with the environments, when played on its definitive difficulty, Ranger Mode, Metro 2033 becomes a desperate, harrowing fight for survival, where every bullet could very well be your last; however it goes both ways, making you just as much as a threat to your enemies as they are to you. With small but sweet touches such as being able to wipe your mask and change air filters, Metro 2033 engrosses you in such a way that makes every minute feel like something special. It's not always a flawless experience, with some admittedly poor stealth sequences especially, but even with those flaws, Metro 2033 never truly falters in what it tries to deliver, offering up a perfect slice of post-apocalyptic fiction that horrifies as much as it instills the seemingly endless well of hope humanity can have at times. --- Too much horror business, drivin' late at night https://imgur.com/MmrKwGZ - https://imgur.com/ntWVGyh <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:934350191] in Snake's 20...
