Time for another first-person shooter. Next up in my playlist was Metro 2033 Redux, a video game based on a Russian novel. This was an update of the original Metro 2033 game, which was released in 2010. The Redux version came out four years later and used the updated game engine from Metro: Last Light. Metro 2033 had great atmosphere. People are living in Moscow's Metro system after a nuclear war took place 20 years ago. Among your enemies are creatures known as "the Dark Ones," which provide plenty of combat challenges. Unfortunately, I only finished a couple of chapters before motion sickness brought this game to an end for me. It's too bad because it was a quality title. I definitely got a Doom 3 vibe in the parts I played. The areas were very dark and a flashlight didn't offer much illumination. I think that probably added to my eyestrain and sickness. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
