At their core, they are first-person shooters, but surprisingly subdued ones.
The two games’ shared tone provides a lengthy and interesting context that paints an elegant picture of post-apocalyptic life more than it tells a creative and winding story.Ģ033 and Last Light both follow similar gameplay styles. From soldiers to scavengers to lost children, Metro 2033 and Last Light spend more time showing the lives of the survivors than telling a weaving plot. The story is a surprisingly personal one, as Artyom meets plenty of faces from all facets of society. You play as Artyom, a survivor whose goal is to return to his home station to find Hunter, a soldier who departed for the station to defend it against a new threat, the evolved beings known as the Dark Ones. To make matters worse, both the Soviet and Fourth Reich armies are fighting for control of the region, while radiated monsters are also threatening the livelihood of the survivors in the metro.
Due to the nuclear winter and the deadly radiation, all survivors are forced to relocate to the metro tunnels beneath the city.
#Metro 2033 game series
It might not be worth a repeat purchase for original adopters, but newcomers should flock to these atmospheric and polished survival horror games without hesitation.īased on the book series written by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, the Metro series takes place in Moscow after a nuclear apocalypse. With technical retooling, improved graphics, and some twists on the original gameplay, Metro Redux is the definitive version of these two eerie shooters. Metro Redux features the two games in the criminally underrated Metro series: 2010’s Metro 20’s Metro Last Light. But even as the sea of old-turned-new titles grows, seeing a remake like Metro Redux is a glimmer of light in a dark tunnel. Silly, I know, but it does speak volumes about the frequent re-releases many games have gotten this gen. As the number of re-releases increases, there’s the running joke that the remakes will eventually outnumber the original titles. The amount of remakes, re-releases and remasters that we’ve gotten since the start of this console generation has been almost laughable.
