Three words to sum up metro, post apocalyptic bliss.
The Good :
- Excellent visuals, post apocalyptic Moscow never looked better.
- Creepy environments and ambiance that sometimes just makes
hair on you neck stand on end.
- Enemy AI is good, they don't just stand there and wait you to riddle
them with bullet holes, they move up, fall back and flank.
- Gameplay is incredible, you can choose to go guns blazing or
take the stealthy approach.
- Stealth kills are amazing with human enemies and cause instant
- Guns are good looking and great sounding, even modding a weapon gives
it some bonus attributes.
- Realism or some aspect of it like you can easily run out of ammo or filters
and medkits, which sometimes aren't readily available.
- The storylines great, some aspects are choice based but it really doesn't
affect the games outcome.
- Amazing bosses and boss fights.
- New mutants and some we already know from the previous game.
- Ranger Mode is little more challenging than the standard modes which
adds a little bit of oomph to your gaming experience by heightening
realism.
The Bad
- Some glitches and bugs take you away from the games immersive factor
like seeing a mutie stuck in the air right after you have pumped it full of
lead.
- A mix of Runglish (Russian and English) is a little disheartening.
- Sometimes running out of ammo isn't a good thing especially when you're
surrounded by mutants, running out of air filters and have to kill them to
pass a certain area.
- Meeleing a mutant is virtually useless unless in stealth mode.
- As visually impressive as this is sometimes when looking at your watch or
something close the visuals seem to be on a coffee break.
