Metro 2033

The very first achievement I unlocked in this game was on July 12, 2010, at 1:02 PM. Since that time, I've read the Dmitry Glukhovsky book that this video game is an adaptation of 3 times. And I've played through this game at least a half a dozen times since then as well. Suffice it to say, I absolutely love the setting, story, characters, and atmosphere of the Metro universe. It wasn't, however, until this morning at exactly 3:00 AM that I finally unlocked my last achievement and 100%ed the game. And, ironically enough, the story-related achievement that I had been missing all these years was the one that the majority of players unlocked their first playthrough. "If It's Hostile, You Kill 'It'—the bad ending. 22.1% of Steam users unlocked it, versus only 6.0% who unlocked the "Enlightened" achievement for the good ending. Which is the ending that I got for every single one of my playthroughs over the past 16 years. So, in other words, I'm a better person than most people. But in all seriousness, this is an [i]incredible[/i] game. And it's a real shame that 4A Games/Deep Silver decided to delist it from digital storefronts when they released Metro 2033 Redux—a remaster that reminds me of Crysis Remastered insofar as, in both instances, the games they're meant to be improving still remain the better versions.

A solid introduction for an awesome series! The redux offers good graphics and bug fixes but the original is much more atmospheric.

A short but memorable FPS with an incredible atmosphere and a compelling story. 100% Completion Time : 18.6H Completion Difficulty : 5/10 Playthroughs : 2 Missables : None Guide Recommended : Optional - for collectibles Notable requirements : Complete the main game on hardcore and easy, weapon-related kill.
