A minor gripe it may be, but the inconsistency between adults all speaking with (admittedly very hammy) Russian accents, and most children having American ones does also grate. Impatient players can just bypass this, of course, but do so knowing they may be depriving themselves of useful information and perhaps also the possibility to see one of the game's alternate endings. On the other hand, a lot of characters will, like real humans, spout nothing but inanities and at stations the sense of obligation to go round everyone can become tiresome. Significant scrapes can be avoided by eavesdropping on the right conversation at the right moment and in an environment where ammunition is scarce and also used as currency that can be a source of immense satisfaction. Almost every human you come across вЂ“ friend or foe вЂ“ has something to say and even a seemingly throwaway comment could be a clue to later success. Essential plot is delivered through cinematic set-pieces but more layers to the story can be unearthed by speaking to and interacting with fellow survivors and it is here that the game is at its most impressive. Gameplay is linear, though there are occasionally slightly different routes to the same destination. Players are cast in the role of Artyom, a young man born above ground but raised below, as he sets out on a mission to find help for his home station of Exhibition, which is threatening to be over-run. Beastly mutants roam both the world above ground and the tunnels between the heavily fortified stations where humans reside. But while there is much to admire and indeed enjoy about the finished product, there are also aspects that will frustrate fans of each of those genres.Д«ased on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel of the same name, the game is set in post-apocalytic Moscow, where survivors of nuclear fall-out have taken refuge in the city's underground rail system. A game that attempts to marry together RPG elements and a first-person shooter with a heavy focus on stealth, all in a survival horror setting, Metro 2033 certainly cannot be accused of lacking ambition. T he problem with trying to please everybody is that you run the risk of satisfying nobody.
