"I started reading the book at 9PM, and by midnight I had already sent an email to [Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky] saying 'Let's make a game!'" Sharpe told me recently. The book itself has taken on a cult-like status in its native country, and is currently being translated to English to coincide with the game's release. The story follows Artyom, a young man who was born just before a cataclysmic event in 2013 that left the surface of Earth a frozen, irradiated wasteland. Artyom lives with other survivors of the event who've taken refuge from the harsh world above them in Moscow's underground metro system."
Metro 2033 mechanics that would adapt perfectly to VR, and the upcoming Metro Awakening by Vertigo Games this year.
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
If you're a fan of the Stalker or Metro 2033 games, Chernobylite is absolutely an experience that you don't want to miss out on.
It has an actual story tied to your actions. The environments are immersive and I believe they just added DLSS. The devs are VERY active in the Steam community. The game has been released past the 1.0 version. There are some crafting mechanics and base building similar to Fallout 4. I like the voice acting and world building. You run missions for supplies, recruiting characters and progressing the story.. I've been playing since early access and the game has come a LONG way. I can't make any recommendations for any console versions because I don't know how those run.
Ok thanks all for the info and sales pitch. I'm going to get it after hearing this. And it's also nice to hear it has DLSS. One of the best advancements to come along in quite a while.
I supported it via Early Access, but just played a bit before to get a feel for it.
Just officially started it last night, and I'm having a great time with it.
Its a fantastic game. The reviewer is right. If it you like those other two games you'll probably like this one too.
I'm sold on it big time. I love the metro games and to me this is very much in that wheelhouse. It was very impressive technically as well.
