Metro 2033

Unoptimized, glitchy, full of jank, and arguably the best version of this game because it gets so dark you can't see in front of your face. I could just boot up Redux or Metro Last Light, but those play more like Far Cry with the clean stealth takedowns and glowing crap everywhere. The only way I recommend this is if you already know you want to do this to yourself, which I might not wish this on my worst enemy. The optimization for this game is something I would have written it off entirely for if I didn't adore it already, but truly I couldn't run it on my modern system without some modding. Ranger Hardcore was actually scary fun for most of my run. It was nice to keep track of where I was going without a bunch of reminders or voice lines telling me all the time, plus things like giving qualitative estimates for my ammo keeping tabs in my mind. Chapter 4 and Chapter 7 were both frustrating trial and error with no investment, I just walked forward until I stopped dying. Artyom really made it the whole way to the tower so he could tap E really hard, a crappy destination after a long eventful journey. In spite of my gripes, I'm gonna go play it again to try and get the Enlightened ending. Definitely an endearing favorite.

[h2] Metro 2033 takes place during a nuclear winter in a very hostile world. The game not only makes you feel the cold of winter, but also the Slavic melancholy, even when you're surrounded by people or being watched inside the endless, claustrophobic tunnels. [/h2]

i dident like this at first, but the atmosphere and story creep in and its an interesting story. some the gameplay i found annoying but over all its a worth it game on special
