The framerate has been cut from 60 to 30 FPS, and honestly, it’s fine. I’m playing the Redux version recently released on the Nintendo Switch, and the game looks stunning despite any cutbacks made to make it run on a mobile chipset.
Mutated monsters and various human factions can pop up at any moment, and you end up fumbling with the awkward controls and deplete your already-low resources to fight off yet another attack. Seeing the world through Artyom’s eyes is quite literal, actually – this is a first person shooter, and this perspective adds to the claustrophobia that overwhelms you when you walk along cramped tunnels, with your vision impared by darkness and you can’t see beyond a couple of feet ahead. He has to deliver a message across the metro, to a man named Miller. So when an opportunity for him to travel arises, he takes on the opportunity. He has not left his home station of Exhibition. The world of Metro 2033 is seen through the eyes of Artyom, a survivor of World War III who grew up in the tunnels of the metro. I’m playing a game set after a nuclear war, where people have been relegated to living in the Russian underground metro system, where venturing outside runs the risk of dying from radiation or attacks from mutated monstrosities.
To pass the time in between work and general existential anxiety, I picked up a game that’ll distract me from the general state of things around me.
