(mini-review)

A post-apocalyptic first person, singleplayer shooter presented from the russian perspective, Metro 2033 hits all the right notes thematically, graphically and with great gameplay. The game is eerie and possessed of its own clear vision of what survival horror looks/feels like. Controls are spot on and well implemented, especially from a comparatively small developer and all the weapons feel authentic and satisfying. The plot is surprisingly clever and the graphics are as good as you'll find for games that are its contemporary. As a whole, the game is a satisfying creepfest romp and should be picked up on sale if at all possible.

Recommended.

8/10.
