Metro tries being STALKER and fails hard
Personally a big Fan of the original Metro, a bit meh on Metro Last Light, not a fan of this.
While like the idea of the open world, it does not work as the ressources you spend exploring are bigger than the gaisn you possibly can have. Gun mechanics have been dumbed down, you cannot straife left or right, enemies will spray you for minutes with bullets but only rewards like 4 if at all when looted. Also, apparenlty enemies are all elite sharp shooters who can full auto hit you on great distance while you try to carfully hit them back.
Add to that the terrain that is immensly detailed (which is good) but which also means you will get stuck on everything. Also, while not a big issue in the main game, the DLCs (especially Sams Story) is plastered with invisiable walls further punishing exploration.
Last but not least, the karma system is redicilous. I have no idea who thought its a good idea to punish you for shooting at people who unprovoked opened fire at you while you approached with a holstered gun. Add some randoms stuff that you need to know in advance from guides which you have to do or else BAD ENDING! Yeah, no, was not worth the buy for me.
