"Great game for PS4"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is how a remaster of a game should be. Great lighting effects, great atmosphere and great story. Picked it up on PS4 and very glad I did. Plus you get two great games for one price.

"Loved it and hated it."
4 stars"

The graphics are greatly improved over the PS3 and 360 version but the sounds have not been improved. I found the gunfire to be a bit flat and your foot steps make the unrealistic clicking noise carried over from the previous gen versions.

If you haven't played the games they're immersive, atmospheric narrative driven, but linear shooters. I personally adore the setting and concept but didn't like the gameplay. It had too many scripted sections, too many dead if you're spotted stealth sections, and too much of the time you're being led, and hurried along, by an NPC. All I wanted to do was explore the tunnels and stations, alone and in my own time killing mutants. And then there's the awful gas mask mechanic which ruins the above ground sections, which are the only open areas of the games because you have to rush through them as quickly as possible or you'll run out of filters and have to restart the chapter.

But I will definitely be buying Metro Exodus.

"Great concept"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The game had many good ideas but it felt like there was something missing

"Metro revisited"
4 stars"

There's not many games I play twice but I am glad I did for the PS4 re-make of Metro. The PS4 has graphically taken this game up to the next level making for a highly enjoyable and atmospheric experience. Very true to the original game but now with an extra mode that makes it more FPS based and helps the action flow. Well recommended.
