INTRODUCTION:
Let’s imagine that it’s the end of the world and the only people that survive seem to be Russians in their metro system, cool thought right? If you think it is then Metro 2033 could be the game for you, specifically the Redux version that has had a shiny update to make it look 10x prettier than it ever did! The post apocalyptic kind of game is hugely popular, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise is a particularly good one, though there have been tons of bad ones, Romero’s Aftermath is a particular one to stay away from. The Metro franchise is one though which is worth a look in, adapted from the books from author Dmitry Glukhovsky, which are also worth a look in might I add! Set in post apocalyptic Moscow, you will have to deal with monsters and other humans, the other humans see a resurgence in the Nazi party, which does add an interesting twist to the landscape of the game.
This game was released last year, which was 4 years after the release of the original Metro 2033 game, which was a bit of a buggy mess. Rather than leaving the game as it was, 4A Games decided it would be worthwhile to not only update how the game looks, but fix those bugs and glitches and make the game how it was meant to be played. I will honestly give the biggest props to these guys for not just doing some rubbish HD re-release that fixes nothing and barely looks better than the original version of the game.
