GamingUnion.net: Metro 2033 Review

GamingUnion.net: "Metro 2033 comes across as a generic shooter with a few horror elements that help to keep things interesting. The lack of different enemies is disappointing and the story is surprisingly bland. The combat sections may as well be a copy of any other shooter out there, but putting on the gas mask and stepping out onto the streets of Moscow really does create a sense of being afraid. The setting and atmosphere is when the game truly shines and this is an experience that can only be found in Metro 2033."

I can't help but think Fallout when I read about this, but it just doesn't seem as a appealing to me.

mephman5144d ago

Yea, it's unfortunate really.

Selyah5144d ago

Aye, the ammo thing seems weird though.

Sanrin5144d ago

It had so much hope too..

ThatCanadianGuy5144d ago

I was SO excited for this game! I bought it day one, sold it two days later for GOW3 money.

Shame.

Russia isn't used nearly enough as a setting for an FPS.

JsonHenry5144d ago

I agree. As an American there is something so lonely and soulful that stirs inside me when I see those old soviet era concrete square buildings and old communist statues. I have no love for the commies mind you, but the imagery is just something that stirs emotions of despair and tyranny that makes for the perfect oppressive atmosphere.

I`d rather play a solid game with massive 256 player action, then another generic ass post-apocalyptic shooter.

I didn't mind MAG, it's not the best game out there, but I'm just commenting on the rather hypocritical nature of you guys. If a PC/360 game gets a 7/10, it's somehow a flop, but when a PS3 exclusive gets the same, it's somehow still an awesome game in your eyes.

I'm playing the pc ver. and I'm enjoying it.

JsonHenry5144d ago

The game seems to get better peer reviews from players on the PC version for some reason.

Coramoor_5144d ago

because the pc game is insanely good looking, and aside from the really poor AI, everything else can be ignored easily enough

Pizza5144d ago (Edited 5144d ago )

Yes I bought PC version on Steam and it's pretty good Russia-version fallout 3.
I gave 9/10.

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.

TheBrainZ80d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3380d 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!

anast80d 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.

jjb1981992d 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_toad991d 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.

MadLad992d ago (Edited 992d 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.

JsonHenry991d ago

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

GhostScholar992d 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.

EvertonFC991d ago

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

THEzRude991d ago

Can whole heartedly recommend.
