That’s why Dead City in Exodus is one of the best levels they made. You’re on your own for 90% of the level, fighting the mutants and then the leeches, and then the Geiger counter is popping off like crazy and forced you to use the green stuff. Playing that alongside Two Colonels is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had.

On another note, I remember reading an article in PC Powerplay hyping Metro 2033 up while visiting my grandma in Australia, which included quotes from Dean Sharpe. He described being totally unable to find a frisbee and practically camping out at the one specialty store near his house that got tortillas and other mexican food from time to time and routinely buying out their entire stock and hoarding it. 4A plainly didn't have it any easier making 2033, or at the very least, Kiev was no more hospitable to them back then than it was when they were making Last Light.

@@arsenii_yavorskyi I'm merely stating things Mr. Sharpe said to the interviewers while discussing his time in the Ukraine. A few quotes from memory: "Someone I knew said 'This isn't the North Pole, Dean. We have frisbees here, okay?' We looked all weekend. You cannot find a damn frisbee in this country." Another quote, relating to the Mexican food: "Occasionally, a store near me will get tortillas... I'll buy 'em, I'll buy 'em all. I'll buy every package they have. Because you just don't see that kind of stuff." Now of course, it's possible Mr. Sharpe was exaggerating, or even making stuff up, but the point remains that he felt somewhat isolated and deprived in Kiev, and these circumstances don't seem to have notably changed by the time Last Light was being developed. I mean no disrespect to Ukraine or Kiev, I've been wanting to visit both of them for some time, and I've heard that the latter's a world-class city. But conditions were probably very different for an indie dev team living hand-to-mouth in the early 2000s than they are today, and I felt Sharpe's comments both shed some light on this and rang true with the discussion of the conditions 4A faced developing Last Light that Raycevik went over later in the video.

Initially I was hesitant to watch this video because Metro 2033 is one of my all time games and I would describe your review style as "brutal but fair". Ultimately I agree with your points for the most part. Metro 2033 has a lot of undeniable issues, although things like Artyom being stuck behind Khan and Bourbon for long sections never bothered me because Arytom was a 19 year old who lived his life in one station so being lead around around by tunnel veterans made sense to me. Still the bad stealth and the enemies managing to have both perfect telescopic aim when you peak your head out of cover while also behaving like bumble fucks is so irritating and immersion breaking. My only real issue I had with the review was how dismissive you were with the hidden morality system and I think you had kind of a reductive attitude towards it instead of trying to unpack what it was going for. My interpretation was that Arytom being raised in one station his whole life has an incredibly limited view of the world so doing things like talking with people who have different life experiences than him, being charitable to those that are less fortunate, not killing people when you really don't need to, and exploring hidden areas gives Arytom a better understanding of the world around him and that maybe killing the dark ones is not the best option. I would say the two moralities can be summed up by quotes by Hunter and Khan. Hunter is a ranger who is mission focused, his motto is "If it's hostile you kill it". Khan is enigmatic but seems to have a strong spiritual and humane personality and he teaches Arytom to "Try to get a better understanding of things before you make your judgement". Personally I think morality system did a fantastic job going with an experimental binary system that wasn't just generic good v bad. Also I'm surprised that you didn't mention that the final battle of Last Light can be sat out entirely. You can just hide in the corner and suck your thumb while your Spartan brothers die and in fact you HAVE to do that for an incredibly stupid and poorly defined achievement. Anyways review as always man!

I never minded being stuck behind khan or bourbon either, because one, they were likeable characters, if a little shallow, and two, the immersion these games put you into really made it seem like you were just on a trip through the metro, not waiting until the next action sequence like a crack addict just waiting for his next paycheck so he can get his fix. That's always been the point of the metro series, to immerse you. If you come looking for some sequence to sequence action packed thriller, then you're going to be disappointing, because metro often takes some time and steps back to immerse you in its world and characters, and for us that enjoy that kind of game, that's completely okay. It's why i stopped and listened to that guy explain to the kids what used to be up on the surface using hand puppets for 10 minutes straight. Its why in exodus, I sat down with my teammates and listened to them chat about random shit, just sipping on a glass of bourbon. It's why I layed with anna and listened to her talk on the aurora. Because these games make you FEEL like you're in the metro. They make you FEEL like artyom. Your decisions become his decisions, which makes a slightly drawn out walking sequence with a character bearable, like it would be in real life.

@@Loogielicker69 ofc you never minded being with those two, because these parts are one of the best moments in the games/books. the layer of atmosphere is so thick, and that what makes it good. the metro franchise is not only the monsters and human, resting and shooting, but much more, something that fleshes out the world. artyom is young, not knowing the mysterys, while khan is one of the mysterys itself. is he a ghost, a human being? without him, artyom would fail his mission instantly, so it makes sense why those scenes where more "scripted". i cant understant why someone would dislike it so much^^

I think it makes sense that playing the guitar effects the karma system. Engaging with art allows a person to get in touch with a creative, abstract-thinking part of their brain and since the Dark Ones are entirely different beings from humans and communicate in abstract ways, it's logical that Artyom exploring his creativity would lead to him being more open to strange beings like the Dark Ones. Also it reminds me a lot of Silent Hill 2, where the ending is determined by subtle things the player does throughout the game, rather than "are you a douchebag or a cool dude" moral choices. Just examining a knife enough times in that game can drastically effect the protagonist's fate.

Couldn't agree more. I am a massive fan of The STALKER games and definitely see myself skimming over it's flaws while I give other games so much more grief for much less. I think we give Metro a pass mostly because we are acutely aware that this is a product of love, and the proof that in this day and age, Exodus is still is singleplayer, without mirco-transactions, without even a multiplayer and a strong 30+ hour campaign.

In other words, STALKER had a lot more issues than just bad decisions plaguing the game but not many people dared to dismiss it as just an early access title.

You definitely have to read the book in order to understand why the npc's were leading you around. In the book Artyom was alone only a handful of times because going off alone is a death sentence. And the times he was alone he very narrowly avoided death.

In books you don't learn much about Artyom either. You experience world trough him in similar way you do in books, and I love that. When games leave a lot to your imagination can be extremely effective. I first encounter this in games like Homeworld and Freespace 1 and 2. Kinda like how max peyne gives you some awesome narration with comic pages, that coupled with great music and atmosphere in game is enough for those little bits get your imagination going and there for make you invested in story. I had pleasure of reading books before playing and I was amazed how it was brought to life straight from my imagination while reading. So I never experienced faults with game.

The camera moving during scene switches is almost certainly because there's automatic position smoothing occurring in the code that the developers couldn't disable. This would likely occur due to the code for the camera being written before they'd worked on cutscenes and so instantaneous position changes weren't taken into account.

What is easily my favorite part of the first two Metro games is the stations. Especially on my first playthrough, where I didn't know what was coming up next, getting to them after fighting hordes of enemies and running low on ammo always felt great. They were places of peace, a chance to refill my supplies, and it perfectly got me into the headspace of someone living in this world. I specifically remember in last light, there's a station ruled by a gang, and even that felt good because even if they were thugs they were still humans willing to top off my filters. They're small moments of humanity in a dark and bleak world. And for that same reason, I actually like the Anna romance. That's right, plot twist, this was an Anna defense all along! Don't get me wrong, the pacing is bad and I do really wish we got to see more between Artyom and Anna, but I do like what's there. In the first mission with her, as you climb the ladder should you look up, she tells you off for checking her butt out. I don't know about you, but I always look up ladders as I climb them, so I found it hilarious that they put this in the game knowing most people would probably do the same. Again, a small bit of humanity. And the same for the sex scene. Normally I don't like them in games or shows, I feel like they're added in a cheap attempt to get interest in a product, but I feel like the scene is a good plot point. You're always running around in armor and gasmasks because the world is harsh and you must be strong, so a tender moment where a character is literally exposing themself is a rare sight. But all that being said, I do admit the relationship is basically just a slice of turkey between white bread. A fine start, but missing all the fixings that would make it great. Thankfully we have Exodus for that.

In regards to most "stuck behind NPCs" criticisms in Metro 2033 I can only say that for Eastern European and Russians in particular these moments were stretches of pure atmosphere. The mystic abilities of Khan and the language of bandit Burbon, their views on the world, life and death were very close to most of us. I still remember that first time in the forgotten tunnel with Khan from start to finish. And even that I do understand your fury while going through these sections, I cannot say that they were bad. They served their part in the story and the world of Metro just as they should have. These scenes and even levels are great in their own right.

I'm fairly certain it was because his magazine was empty, and with dragging artyom through he had no choice other than to bluff his way out of the situation. Which to me perfectly describes his character in a single moment. Metro for me is more of a cinematic experience than a regular game, i enjoyed the slower paced walking moments because it was word building, it forced me to slow down and view the world and consider what was happening around me. it's a game that isn't for everyone, but it's certainly one i loved, even with all of 2033's jank and problems, i still count it within my top 5 games.

In the first game they kinda make it clear Artyom has never left his home station and thus he doesnt know what hes doing. Thats a big reason why he isnt just on his way and magically finds his way to Polis. He has to be guided there. His ignorant of the outside world. The karma system added up over time (it wasnt just him playing a guitar and then getting the good ending and saving the world) through his experiences it shapes him into understanding the dark ones and being a good person. Its shown throughout the game that he has a connection with them too. I'd say some criticisms (like you were pretty right on there with the stealth. Oof) are fair but quite a few missed the mark. You just didnt approach the game with the proper attitude/desire to understand it. The first time I played Metro 2033 I put a few hours in and didnt think much of it and quit playing it. After a few years I felt the desire to give it another chance and something clicked and I really liked the game (flaws aside - I own the original version too btw)
