Here is that rare game that was not optimized for console hardware from 2005. It is better than every major Western game, and its only competitors are other games from the Post Soviet bloc. If there is one thing about Metro that warrants a playthrough, it is it's atmosphere. No other game simulates being trapped in a mass of people so well. The Stations are crowded, literally filled with people talking, yelling, crying, each having their individual conversations. The metro of Fallout 3 is nothing compared to this.
The stations are exquisitely detailed, bustling with activity.Īnyone who has ever ridden the Metro in a major city will immediately feel the claustrophobia. In Metro, it is children, wives, and parents who live in the Metro tunnels. But the people in STALKER were in the Zone by choice. That unique sort of Slavic ruggedness is portrayed wonderfully in both games. Foremost, you see it in the eyes of the individuals you encounter. Take the horror of STALKER's Chernobyl Zone then, and compress it down into the small corridors of a Metro tunnel. The open air and sky was your only friend. While it portrayed a desolate landscape in a depressing world, it was largely open ended. The first is of course the more famous STALKER. The GoodHere is the other antithesis to the Hollywoodized post apocalyptic genre, embodied in games like Fallout 3 or Gears of War.
