Is Metro 2033 worth buying?

cyber69 · 4 Jan 2011 at 11:19

I liked the look of this game and just wondered if it was worth buying on steam? I think it's about £13.

Yea, i got it before Xmas mate on Steam. Not completed it yet but so far its a decent game.

I think it's a half decent game as above. Definitely worth playing for about £10. Requires decent pc to enjoy though.

Really enjoyed Metro, never completed it though it auto saved at a part where I had just gone crazy for lulz and didn't have any other save point -.-

again good game took me about 8 hours to do or so, so well worth it for the price, very gfx hungry

You know if you chose Load at the main menu you can just restart the level? Or you can just restart the level from in game for that matter.

OP, it's a great game, atmospheric, creepy, good looking and fun, well worth it.

I wouldn't pay more than £10 for it - an OK game though, just very, very short.

Very good game great atmosphere, great story, very power hungry game only down side it is very short game took me 9 hours to complete, the game is very liner too so you might not want to do a rerun.

Very good game.

One of my buys of 2010!

Draeger · 4 Jan 2011 at 19:30

Worth grabbing if you can get it for a budget price. I enjoyed it, nothing special but quite a good little diversion of a game. Visuals are nice although as already said, it can be a bit hard on your system.

Great game. Paid £9 for it, well worth the money so far. Graphics are top notch and gameplay is extremely immersive

Paid about £5 for this game and I'm really impressed, fabulous graphics, immersive gameplay and a really odd/mystical storyline.

Looks beautiful! Not my type of game though really, got bored after an hour.

Tefal · 4 Jan 2011 at 20:46

looks good but felt very meh to me.

If it had been done more free roam like stalker it would have been epic.

thats what i liked about it it was a bit like Stalker, without the free roaming, i just cant get on with those type of games.

One of my fave games of last year, and definately worth the money.

Lethagized · 5 Jan 2011 at 15:52

I think if it had the free roaming, it WOULD pretty much be stalker. It is made by some of the original stalker dev team after all. I'm glad it's a pretty linear game. If you want to roam and spend days exploring, then you have stalker for that.

I'm currently playing through metro now and I'm enjoying it. Just picked up the 6 slot shotgun and AK-47. My only complaint is that the AI are a bit too sharp and detect you too easily, and the gunfights could do with that extra bit of polish. I sank 7 shotgun rounds into an enemy from about 3 meters and he still didn't drop. Other times, you can kill someone with 3 bullets from your standard revolver.

Apart from that, it's a great game.

jayextreme · 5 Jan 2011 at 16:25

you need a really good rig to fully enjoy what the game can offer

Calabi · 5 Jan 2011 at 17:13

No its awful. Like a ten year old game dressed up with DirectX 11 features.

neoboy · 5 Jan 2011 at 17:26

One of the better games of this year, it particularly excels at atmosphere. It is a tightly scripted corridor shooter though so comparisons to Stalker are somewhat misleading but it does it well and it actually adds to this sense of claustrophobia. I'd say my only gripe with it is that it's something that could've been really great with that bit more spit and polish.
