    Really liked playing Metro 2033 a lot. One of the most atmospheric shooters I have ever played. You easily get involved with the story and the game play gives you plenty moments of tension and amazement. Great stuff!

    It's easy to loose your life in the game, as a result of wrong assumptions you make. You are the hero but assuming this role at all times leads to certain death. Sometimes you just have to run away or through the danger zone, other times you need to hide and stay safe while your support team clears the way. You often find yourself exploring an area, to find your way through. Other times you need to carefully follow the instructions provided and save your ammo or oxygen, to live long enough.

    If you enjoy story driven first person shooter games, this game is definitely worth your time. It will get you excited, it will scare you to death, it will make you feel lucky to be stay alive!

    Московский Метрополитен. Сам я в столице нашей родины еще не был, а так, заочно, игра позволяет там побывать.
    Как уже следует из названия, почти всю игру мы будем бегать по различным туннелям метро, изредка попадая на поверхность. Да оно и понятно, наверху вода радиоактивна, а воздух содержит какие-то тяжелые примеси, смертельные для человека.
    Сама игра очень атмосферна, разнообразна на геймплей, динамичные стычки с бандитами на станциях сменяются темными "запутанными" туннелями, попутно знакомимся с далеко не сладкой жизнью людей в пост-апокалиптическом мире.
    Я сейчас, даже не о постоянных атаках мутировавших монстров на человеческие поселения, а о простой бытовой жизни, в которой люди живут в комнате состоящей из одной кровати и только, а дети играют всяким мусором или молотками (в игре встретите).
    У каждого персонажа на станции своя история за душой, свои мысли.

    Геймплей:

    Понравилось отношение разработчиков к деталям. Очень чуствуется как они делали упор на реализм.
    Оружие интересное и оригинальное, не очень много, а с собой носить можно только 3 единицы стрелкового и 2 единицы метательного, плюс нож-кастет. Нет автоматической перезарадки, если последний патрон в обойме ушел в ствол, жди осечку. Патронов всегда мало. Еще интересный момент, пороховой дым от выстрела застилает обзор, что мешает сделать последующий выстрел, и это прикольно. Все враги ходят в шлемах, а больше половины еще и в противогазах. Поэтому убить таких с одного выстрела можно попав точно в шею, с боку или сзади. Ну или сбив предварительно этот шлем. Но тогда враги подниают тревогу. Иногда вам дадут пострелять со станкового пулемета и огнемета, но это мелочи.

    По состоянию на 2014 год, хочется отметить такие плюсы игры:

    +Стори Лайн. Отличная, динамичная, в меру загадочная, сюжетная линия, от лица человека который всю жизнь прожил под землей в метро. Спойлерить не буду.
    +Атмосфера. Метро и темнота. Апокалипсис и безнадежность. Разруха и выживаемость.
    +Геймплей. Перестрелки с врагами-людьми интересны. Так же возможно проходить уровни по стелсу.
    Враги особым разнообразием не блещут, люди, мутанты. Есть некое разнообразие в способах убийства противников.Очень понравилось использование патронов в качестве валюты. Наличие ограниченного времени действия противогаза.Пороховой дым от выстрела застилает обзор. Динамо-машинка для зарядки фонарика и прибора ночного видения.
    +Искусственный интеллект. Враги точны, используют укрытия, и закидывают Артема гранатами.
    +Картинка. Фотографичные, высококачественные текстуры радуют глаз.
    +Физика. Предметы в игре ведут себя как в жизни. По большей части. И общую картинку не портят.
    +Оптимизация хорошая. Игра не вылетает. Но крайне жрет ресурсы, и на "квалити" проседает. На ноуте, только на "нормал" настройках хороший фпс выдает.

    Из минусов присутствуют:

    -Игра слишком короткая.
    -Линейна. Никакой свободы действия и побочных заданий.
    -Дурацкая система сохранений на основе отдельных сейв-поинтов.

    В итоге мы получаем приятную, проработанную стрелялку от первого лица, c возможностью повторного прохождения, для получения альтернативной концовки и лучшего усвоения сюжета . Игра с отличной атмосферой и интересным сюжетом.

    Still one of the best games ever, even when its year 2014. Amazing graphics, damn good story, interesting system of inventory. Check your bullets every ten steps if you dont want to be dead. And gas mask too ;) .Full of action, monsters and amazing places you will discover. One of the best games definitely.

    Metro 2033 es un titulo en el cual te debes meter, es sobre inmersión, de meterte en el mundo destruido con sus habitantes al borde de la locura....

    El juego es un shooter en primera persona, en si el gameplay es muy simple. Se basa en disparar y ocultarte. Los disparos son como todo shooter, el prota puede disparar con la puntería de una militar a pesar de nunca haber usado un arma, pero el sigilo y la falta de munición rompen lo aburrido que puede ser como en CoD. Como este mundo esta en ruinas tienes que asegurarte de buscar por todas partes municiones y saber disparar, créeme, si vas como idiota disparando la munición no te durara, por lo que el sigilo es clave si estas en dificultades altas. El sigilo es muy simple, a veces injusto, pero sirve y si sabes como moverte es divertido. La única forma de matar sigilosamente son con cuchillos arrojadizos, y valla que son el arma mas poderosa de todo el juego. Si tienes 5 cuchillos arrojadizos puedes acabar hasta con el mutante mas poderosa del juego. Pero la dificultad al inicio esta bien, será desafiante por el miedo que puede generar ver que horribles y poderosas creaturas han salido de este mundo. La historia te envuelve ya que esta muy bien presentada y desarrollada, con sus personajes, sus lugares calidos, amigables y los peligrosos y aterradores. Este juego esta para disfrutar la historia, y después puedes rejugarlo para ver el final alternativo, conseguir logros o simplemente ver detalles que al principio perdiste. Sin embargo, a pesar de su simple pero divertido sistema de shooter y sigilo tiene sus problemas. Este juego de verdad necesitaba mejores momentos pre-fabricados, o quick time event, las secuencias que lo tienen o podrían pasar como escenas de CGI. Lo único que tienes que hacer cuando hay que presionar botones es presionar rápidamente E y listo. No pares de presionar E, eso es todo. Es aburrido y a veces te hace pensar por que no fue una escena o porque no le pusieron un poco mas de empeño. Otra cosa es que la dificultad sale algo herida, una ves que sabes apuntar, disparar en **** cortas y ser sigiloso, lo cual no es muy difícil de aprender, se vuelve fácil. Por eso sufre la re-jugabilidad, no será un reto la siguiente ves. También la I.A. no es muy buena, a veces te verán aunque estés oculto muy bien y otras veces podrás correr a su lado y dirán: que fue eso? Probablemente una rata o un espíritu, seguro eso eh oído. Otra cosa es que no hay jefes ni subjefes. En un mundo con MUTANTES necesitas JEFES, aun que sea simples para romper un poco el gameplay divertido eso si, pero algo repetitivo después de un rato. Sin embargo estos problemas no afectan al final de la experiencia, es un gran juego no hay duda. Puede que si haz jugado Last Light no te guste por que no esta tan afilado como su secuela, pero yo te recomiendo empezar por aquí. Pero no esta en steam, ahora solo se puede jugar el Redux que aun no eh conseguido, pero si el Redux mejoro lo que ya había aquí no puedo esperar por probarlo. Le doy un 08/10 es un muy buen juego que no será una obra maestra pero si tiene grandes momentos y una gran forma de meterte en su mundo, espero que la serie no haya terminado con el Last Light porque de verdad quiero volver muchas mas veces a este mundo.

And the Ranger Mode, is a true survival game, with no HUD, limited ammo and many more features taken away from you, it is truly a game worth getting! Expand

    One of the first Single player games I found super enjoyable, the "upkeep" sort of mechanics were not too obtrusive and created an edge of urgency. This compounded with the lack of ammunition really made this game standout to me. Sad to say the new one just did not feel the same.

    Metro 2033 is a superb post-apocalyptic shooter, simply put. The world of the Moscow Metro subway lines gives a feeling of familiarity and foreboding at the same time.

    Never has the post-apocalyptic world looked so beautiful.

    Metro 2033 is a superb post-apocalyptic shooter, simply put. The world of the Moscow Metro subway lines gives a feeling of familiarity and foreboding at the same time. Especially since some of the lines and stations are abandoned and overrun by the horrors of the dark.

    While the game is linear, the atmosphere makes it so it's still a fresh experience after each mission.

    The graphics are, even in 2014's standards, absolutely breathtaking. And even today, this game makes your PC work HARD to run it at a good framerate with all the eye candy turned on. My gaming laptop is capable of running it on maximum, but I have to compromise on the advanced depth of field and AA to prevent it from running extremely hot.

    In short, if you plan on getting this game and you have a computer that's not up to par, you may not have a very good experience, unless you play the game on low settings. But even then, on low settings, the game looks better than many of today's titles.

    if you're afraid that this will just be a "techdemo" shooter, rest assured in the fact that the game delivers a very satisfying challenge even in the normal difficulty setting. It's quite brutal on the "Ranger" settings as well, as every enemy presents a true obstacle to your progress, and ammo is VERY scarce.

    I love post-apocalyptic fiction, which might explain why this review may seem a *little* biased.

    In general though, this is a superb game that's well worth experiencing for yourself. Just make sure you have a good computer :)

    Easily one of the best games of the year. HORRIBLY under-rated! A 58 from 1UP? Because of some minor issues..... This game is the most atmospheric and immersive shooter I have ever played. Maybe the most atmospheric game, period. This is like another Bioshock or actually more like Half-Life 2 to me, I could see myself playing through this game multiple times.

    Love and Hate would be best summary to describe this game.

    While the graphics were very advanced for the release date, the story felt very excellent and unnerving at times, until you got deeper in the game and realized that when you got near the end you didn't have enough bullets or health to reach the next check point, which was very frustrating and massive mistake from the developer.

    Metro 2033 is hands down one of my all times favorite FPS game of all time and not only that but one of my favorite games of all times.

    The level design and the atmosphere are incredible. Interesting story with cool main character (Artyom) and its an amazing surviving horror game.

    Leave childish games like COD and Fallout 4 FarCry 3 4 and go play this a real mans game!

    I just played this in 2021 and loved it. The story is interesting and keeps you going along and the guns feel real and weighty. I will say however that playing on PC with a controller was hard as the secondary weapons weren't mapped to the control, a small criticism but it annoyed me to no end.
    The visuals are great, the 5.1 sound perfectly executed. I'll definitely play the sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best FPS games that I played. Besides stupid enemy humans AI, the game is pure perfection in terms of gameplay. Totally recommend.

    One thing though; is the moral points system which is really frustrating. The ending could've been decided at the actual end of the game, when shooting (or not shooting) the Dark One - not through a secret moral points system.

And not always the good kind of difficulty either. Like the kind of difficulty where you're escorting an idiotic NPC who gets swarmed by deadly monsters. Still, Metro is dark (figuratively and literally), atmospheric, and even when it's not fun, it still pulls you in, demanding you to fight through the horrors of the Moscow underground towards the end. It's gritty as all hell and the guns feel amazing, again, much like STALKER. It also manages to have some truly frightening enemies, something a lot of FPSes try to do and fall short of doing. And it has its fair share of "holy ♥♥♥♥" moments. Metro 2033 isn't for everyone, but if you have the skill and the patience, it's one hell of a ride. Expand

    Очень атмосферная игра. Хоть и далеко не идеальная, но сделанная с душой.
    На мой взгляд 1 и 2 часть одинаково хороши.

    The atmosphere of the subway is very well given. People trying to survive there. Various groups and wars between them. We are trying to reach our goal in this chaos. The story is not bad, it is interesting. Mysterious. Conflict dynamics are fun. Ambiance is awesome. The characters we fight shoulder to shoulder are good. A.I. we can say bad. Some enemy designs are bad (slimes). Overall a good game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow what a journey that was...

    Story is really interesting. Nuclear bombs dropped on Moscow and people started to live on metro. Ambience, locations really pulls you in the game. You feel the people in metro. You feel for them, you try to understand and help them, you feel the game. That's right you don't play this, game plays you.

    You see other stations in loading screens. I really wish we could visit every single one of them. Hope they do this in next metro games.

    As for Artyom, character we play as doesn't talk during gameplay but only in cutscenes. Which is interesting choice. He is not your standard overpowered fps character. He's just a normal character who try to survive.

    Unlike other fps's this game is slow. Which makes you immersed in atmosphere. There's minimal hud which I like. I don't want my screen to be filled with icons. Stealth is good and generally works. Gunplay is great and so as sounds.

    There is this thing called moral system or something and it's really annoying. This system affect the endings you get. You knock down people instead of killing them, listen to people, explore locations and avoid combat and you get good ending. Sounds good on paper but really bad on execution. First of all you don't know how much affected your moral is. You get a sound when you do good thing but not with bad thing. With one mistake you get the bad ending. It's not implemented properly.

    But other than that I can't think of a bad thing. This game is masterpiece, one of the most atmospheric game I have ever played.

    Это одна из первых игр моего детства. И, несмотря на возраст и недостатки, о которых я сейчас узнаю от других, она не кажется мне плохой

    Your enjoyment of Metro 2033 hinges on your willingness to let a game batter you into submission.
  2. 4A Games leaves you no choice but to engage with the gameplay of Metro 2033 because of its dark tone and great story. Hardcore gamers looking for a unique experience in PC ultimately will be rewarded by this atmospheric and fast-paced shooter.

    Novel and videogame join to compose a very interesting proposal in the saturated first person action genre.
