The Rise and Rise of The METRO Series

  • The first-person shooter genre often seems like the one that gets most commonly criticized for eschewing creativity and experimentation in favour of sticking to tried and true formulas, but there are some notable FPS franchises out there that do their own thing, do it very well, and get a lot of success on the back of it.
    There is no better example of that, perhaps, than 4A Games’ post-apocalyptic semi-horror series, Metro. From its early days in 2010 right up to now, the Metro games have consistently delivered excellently crafted, single player, narrative-driven experiences, which, unsurprisingly, has endeared the franchise to a great many people. Here, we’re going to talk about exactly how Metro has managed to find that sort of success.

    The Metro games have the best full gaming experience in terms of their mechanics. How everything works in that world and the tools you're given to adapt to it is refreshing. Almost like playing a Far Cry game for the first time, 3 to be exact. Only thing is that for Metro they keep the experience fresh for all of them.

    Great series Although I wish they had stuck with the sombre and gloomy tone of the first , especially the original voice of Artyom which sounded like a depressed character out of classic Russian novels. Although nothing against the redux and sequel artyom. the second are third are good of their own right but are more action , still they all tell the story fantástically especially the Volga level on Metro III it had the same greatness as Metro I

  • @Davidcross0121
    @Davidcross0121 2 місяці тому

    I prefer 2033 and last light. The open world in exodus is a good idea.but they felt empty. A lack of exploration, a lack of monsters. You spend a lot of time in two particular areas. The worse one being the Caspian map. It does everything fans loved about the previous game and just made it dull if they make it open world again I'd just prefer one big map with more atmosphere and exploration above and below ground. With the same survival mechanics which I love.
