Game Informer: Metro 2033 Review

GI writes: "Having followed very little pre-release coverage for Metro 2033, my expectations going in were almost wholly based off one piece of info I'd heard about Ukrainian developer 4A Games: The team was formed by devs who had previously worked on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Knowing that, I steeled myself for an open-ended shooter full of ambition and technical issues. The ambition is there in spades, but Metro 2033 is an impressively polished and extremely linear experience that makes for an excellent debut."

Wow, I'm surprised this little game is getting pretty good reviews. Usually titles that don't have the marketing power behind it have a bad track record of doing poorly.

I'm actually really excited to play this game (once I beat God of War 3)

iFLOWLIKEWATER5164d ago

Its like a mix of Call of Duty(not MW) and Fallout 3...sorta. This game is great, the gameplay mechanics are very unique, you just have to play it. As a matter of fact I recommend this game to anyone who even remotely likes post-apocalyptic themed games.

sid4gamerfreak5164d ago

stfu. go to the open zone where they can blab mindlessly about games and whioch console is better.

Metro 2033 considering it didn't get a lot of hype, has managed to get a 8 which is pretty good, considering most hyped games get 10 out of 10 by biased game reviews.

Aquanox5164d ago

Good review. It's nice to see new developers getting good stuff out of the house.

The big ones should take a look at these Russian guys.

DelbertGrady5163d ago

Game Informer is the outlet that I trust the most when it comes to reviews. They write great reviews and I usually share their opinion.

Have to get this game now!

Killzone 2 a 8.7? GTFO!

RememberThe3575164d ago

Even though I love Killzone 2, the story telling was lacking compared to the fist and the controls took time to get used to.

There is really no need to get butthurt over such a small difference.

Dance5164d ago

How dare Gameinformer have an opinion

Bubbles_Kitty_Cat5163d ago

"and the controls took time to get used to."

Let's keep it real, Killzone 2's controls are garbage and pretty much ruined an otherwise great game.

The developers need to swallow their pride and improve the controls for Killzone 3, or that game will no doubt suffer the same fate as #2.

snesfangirl5164d ago

this folks are who i trust for reviews. not ign, not edge or anyone else. because most of what i have played their reviews are pretty much spot-on. i"m for sure renting this, and if i like it ill buy it for sure!

DelbertGrady5163d ago

Me too. GI's reviews are the best.

Eiffel5163d ago

I favor Game Informer over any review magazine. They just seem and feel neutral in all the hate on games.

Lirky5164d ago

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

user score is 8.4 , and metacritic score is um.. 82.

so the game is a fair fps.

Spiderman5164d ago

Pc version got an 8.8 on metacritic and the 360 is 8.4.

I would says that a whole lot better than fair...

I would say its pretty outstanding score.

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

TheBrainZ88d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3388d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast88d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.

Has anyone here played it? It looks interesting but I'm not sold on it yet.

jjb19811000d ago

It has an actual story tied to your actions. The environments are immersive and I believe they just added DLSS. The devs are VERY active in the Steam community. The game has been released past the 1.0 version. There are some crafting mechanics and base building similar to Fallout 4. I like the voice acting and world building. You run missions for supplies, recruiting characters and progressing the story.. I've been playing since early access and the game has come a LONG way. I can't make any recommendations for any console versions because I don't know how those run.

camel_toad999d ago

Ok thanks all for the info and sales pitch. I'm going to get it after hearing this. And it's also nice to hear it has DLSS. One of the best advancements to come along in quite a while.

MadLad1000d ago (Edited 1000d ago )

I supported it via Early Access, but just played a bit before to get a feel for it.
Just officially started it last night, and I'm having a great time with it.

JsonHenry999d ago

Its a fantastic game. The reviewer is right. If it you like those other two games you'll probably like this one too.

GhostScholar1000d ago

I'm sold on it big time. I love the metro games and to me this is very much in that wheelhouse. It was very impressive technically as well.

EvertonFC1000d ago

Looking fwd to it, I thinks it's November for ps5 release so gonna wait 😊

THEzRude1000d ago

Can whole heartedly recommend.
