"Metro 2033 was a beautiful looking first-person shooter that imply oozed atmosphere. The mysterious setting of post-apocalyptic Russia won me over, sticking most of the action in gloomy underground tunnels, where seeing the surface in the game was a luxury full of the weird and wonderful. Players didn't k now what to expect from the game, immersing us with its world and unanswered questions of monsters and “the dark ones.” Metro 2033 was based on a Russian novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, titled with the same name, and even though the game had some issues with dubious stealth mechanics and less than fantastic gun combat, the rest of the game was absorbing and was well deserved of the praise it received. 4A Games is back with the sequel, which fixes all of the problems that I had with the original, but at the same time removes the challenge that made Metro 2033 rewarding."

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
