My girlfriend picked this game up due to her love for Fallout 3. So I started to play it, due to the fact I enjoyed both Fallout 3 and various horror games, and I thought "Hey let's try this out.". To my surprise, it's a very well done game for going u...

Metro 2033 is a tough and gritty survival shooter, which makes a real effort to immerse the player in its post-apocalyptic world. If you like atmospheric games, you'll lap this up, but be warned, the shooter mechanics aren't perfect (particularly in t...

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Metro 2033 centres around the surviving remains of Moscow's society, harbouring in the tunnels and subways under the city. Based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's book of the same title, you play Artyom, a happy go lucky (ish) ch...

Environments, AI, spectacular attention to graphical presentation, low-profile UI, dialogue and NPC interaction, clever use of suspense.
Combat is clunky, you will get frustrated with cheap deaths, sometimes the waypoint system breaks down and you will get lost, armoured foes are a bitch to kill towards the end of the game.

It’s not a phenomenon unique to videogames; it’s almost everywhere we look. I Am Legend, Terminator Salvation, 2012, The Book Of Eli, The Road; hell, even Wall-E got in on the action. We’re obsessed with the Apocalypse, of that there’s no doubt.You may...
It’s refreshing to play a game in which we’re shooting as the Russians rather than shooting at them, and it’s one that explores the nation’s checkered history to boot. Shaky combat lets Metro 2033 down, but as an overall experience...

The world is interesting and has some fascinating ideas serving as building blocks; it definitely makes you want to read the novel.
It's a rather lackluster introduction to a universe that obviously has something worthwhile to say. Some obvious design flaws scuttle the gameplay as well.
