Books were helping the games, the games were helping the books, and somehow Metro - especially Metro - is a story that's playable. "Turning that into a transmedia thing a very natural thing. "When they wanted to create a game based on it, I was really excited because I already, by the rights of my birth, belong to the generation that fucking loves video games," Glukhovsky tells. Ukranian developer 4A Games had read this when they approached the author. In 2002, Glukhovsky set up a website dedicated to this story he planned to tell, occasionally publishing new chapters for free. Interestingly, the original Metro 2033 game dates back to before the novel was ever published. Dmitry Glukhovsky, author (Image: Ksenia Tavrina) By the time the game adaptation of Metro 2033 landed on shelves, its source material was already translated into at least a dozen languages and was a best-seller in Russia, Germany, Poland and several other countries.īut the games have contributed to taking Metro international, with Glukhovsky telling us "the existence of pirated games" have seen the books brought to Iran, Thailand, Korea and other far-flung nations. While he acknowledges they have "definitely helped", the "viral magic" of the first novel - Metro 2033 - has seen it shared among friends throughout the author's home market of Russia and beyond. That may be more personal choice than anything, but a lot of people like this installment.It's difficult for Dmitry Glukhovsky to say exactly how his book sales have been boosted by the release of the Metro video games.
I have experienced both endings at this point and I will say the concussions are worth it, albeit not as fun.Īll in all, as someone who hasn’t experienced the Metro mechanics, gameplay or story in the past, Metro Exodus was a pretty good game but not my favorite. It was totally unsatisfying and I guess I should have just been handing out concussions like candy at Halloween. When they say a bad ending, they sure as hell meant it.
Well, I was screwed from the get-go because I didn’t know how the story would be impacted. It all depends on knocking out or killing the people you encounter. There are two endings to this game: the good ending and the bad ending. It is a pretty game, I just had trouble with it and I think it was just the gameplay mechanics that killed it for me. The story is solid and the graphics are decent, especially the environmental ones. It took me a very long time to really get into it. I’ll be honest, I struggled with this game. The mapping leaves a little something to be desired but I’m kind of spoiled on my maps with games like D ays Gone, Dying Light etc. It took me two hours into the game before I felt moderately comfortable enough to not keep dying all the time. When signs of life appear to Artyom, it becomes clear that he must leave the metro and brave the creatures and humans that are out to kill him in search of a new start.Īs far as being a noob playing Metro Exodus, the controls have a big learning curve. Metro Exodus finds our protagonist, Artyom (who has been the protagonist throughout the entire series), still wanting to find more outside of the Moscow metro but the land is ravaged by nuclear fallout and mutated creatures that survived the radiation.

Three times HBO Max series The Last of us has broken my heart (so far).
#Metro 2033 vs last light vs exodus movie
Spooky thrills abound in Five Nights at Freddy’s movie trailer.The Metro game series is based on the books by Dmitry Glukhovsky.Īll the games were developed by 4A Games and the titles include Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light Redux, and the most recent release was my first foray into the Metro world, Metro Exodus. With our current world always on the brink of war or extinction by our own hand, stories like Metro are that much scarier. As a Metro noob, I had to ask myself how player friendly this game is for someone who has never played it before? This review took me a while because I had never played a Metro game before and stopped part way into Metro Exodus to watch gameplay of past games and get an idea of what was in store for me and for a little background. There are not enough hours in the day to be able to sit and play all of the games that I want to play and yet somehow it gets done. First Resident Evil 2, then Metro Exodus, World War Z, Mortal Kombat 11 and Days Goneand so many more. What a hell of a year so far for video games. By Devin Shea 4 years ago As a newcomer to the “Metro” game franchise, I tackled “Metro Exodus” to see how I would fare in post-apocalyptic Moscow.
