DHGF: while back, THQ took a big risk on an unknown property, Metro 2033, and published a game based on the Russian novel of the same name on the PC and Xbox 360 in the US. While the game received mostly positive press, it was largely not a good seller, and while the game could positively be compared to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., it wasn’t without its technical flaws and issues, unfortunately. The game was largely a winner, however, so much so that, personally, I can attest that it’s one of the few games I’ve completely cleared of all its Achievements, even in the Ranger Pack. As such, I was highly enthusiastic when I heard about the game receiving a sequel, dubbed Metro: Last Light, which I was hoping would be playable at E3. Alas, such was not the case, as there was only a video demo on display, but what the developers had to show was interesting enough that it’s only increasing my interest in playing the game more.
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
4A Games celebrates the 10th anniversary of its first-person shooter by offering it free for a week.
4A Games' Metro: Last Light originally launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC 10 years ago today, and still holds up.
I got bored of Hogwarts crazy quick and it's bugs, was looking for just any good game got the Metro trilogy for about £8.50 in a Steam sale played through 2033 Redux, Last Light Redux and now am on Exodus. The series is awesome, the first two are like more liner story driven FPS with a few options to confront the levels, stealth, no kill runs and guns blazing, depending on how you play effects the story and its outcome. Third game I'm playing now is heavy story driven (but optional if you don't want to listen you can just walk away... I don't know why you would though) with large open levels that take hours to explore and still some of the best use of RTX I've seen to date, can play this game on ultra with DLSS set to quality, raytracing set to ultra at 4K with no dips, played on Extreme setting and was getting a few drops around water and some interiors.
Cant recommend this series enough and as a new fan I can't wait to see the next game in 2024... I also got the audio books so looking forward to see how well the games follow the original books. A4 Games are extremely talented.
Beat Redux and Last Light. Really good games. Haven't played Exodus yet, was thinking I'll get it for ps5 just havent yet. I will.
