Metro: The PERFECT Post Apocalyptic Horror Game

[@Raeymondo]

This is gonna sound incredibly stupid, but these games genuinely managed to stop my bag from getting searched at the border when I was on my way home from a trip at one point last year. For whatever reason we got selected for a random search, which normally would've been fine, but was a freaking nightmare for me in this particular instance, as I'd actually bought some stuff for my brother, who was standing *right* next to me at the time, while we we're away, as his birthday was coming up, and I was pretty much panicking, since I now had to try to come up with any desperate plan to stop him from seeing, while y'know, also not making the security guy think I was hiding narcotics or something. Out of nowhere though, the guy searching our bags asked us if we played any videogames, which my brother then replied to by bringing up Exodus, as he was about midway through it at the time. Anyway, long story short, the guy doing the search had actually read all the books and genuinely took enough of a liking to us after that, that he gave up searching after the first bag, went "Alright well like, you guys seem friendly enough, and I doubt I'm gonna find anything if I keep looking, so you can head off now, sorry for the inconvenience." and I narrowly avoided having all my stuff dumped out for everyone to see. Still haven't actually played the games *myself* (although i probably will soon enough), but like, they saved my brother's birthday surprise, so I sure am glad they exist nevertheless~

[@BlueLad98]

Hehe that is actually such a sweet story tho ^^ and atleast the security guy was chill & cool! You should definetly play the games as they are fantastic!

[@yourmicrowave7112]

10:03 love the little dialogue "PLEASE, GIVE HIM A CHANCE" because Arty saved dude's life by shooting the rats and it would be heart wrenching to watch the guy who saved your life get killed by the that

[@gsamalot]

So funny that you mention that about the night goggles being given to you at the end game, you can get them early in the game right around when you're sneaking between the reds and the nazi. If you go to the back of the red side. ( The side you're supposed to sneak to the other side) there will be a bunch of wounded soldiers and a door open. Going down, it will take you down a sewage section, and in a corner, you will find the night vision goggles. This was in both the redux and the regular metro2033

[@GenesisBoi]

Good to know when i replay the game

[@NerzJansch2]

You can also take down the heavy patroling the end of the tunnel with the wounded soldiers. He´s got nvs too, atleast in the orginal. Not sure if on redux too

[@aidendunwoodie3529]

I redux at the start of the level if you turn around and wask back up the tunnel you'll find 2 guys a table and a box on the wall in the box are the night vision goggles

[@tavish4699]

I remember this as if I see it infront of my eyes I haven’t played the game in 10 years😂

[@teuqueiroz3377]

In the original game (The original Metro 2033, not the Redux ) you can buy 2 armors, one specialized in stealth and another specialized in defense/tank, the stealth one comes with the night googles, and you makes less noise, the tank/defense armor, doesn't come with the night googles i think, but i need to confirm, i have the original game in steam and i didn't played for some time, so maybe some information can be wrong in my part cuz i don't remember everything from the original game

[@AnthonyRivera1999]

Another real fun way to play both 2033 and Last light is in a guerrilla warfare style manner. I like to sneak and poke around to see where all my enemies are and their patrol patterns and then come up with a way to quickly pick people off while using the least amount of gear as possible. I can’t describe how satisfying it is to watch the AI shoot into random shadows and all that shooting slowly start to grow more and more quiet

[@BlueLad98]

That is such a sinister way of playing and I love it hahaha

[@AnthonyRivera1999]

@@BlueLad98 I get a very specific enjoyment of watching like 2 or 3 AI run around frantically trying to find where the shooting is coming from

[@Chonkems]

That's not possible in 2033 or Last Light, though. It happens in Exodus under rare conditions, but that's it. If enemies are alerted in 2033 or Last Light, they know where you are every 15 seconds.

[@AnthonyRivera1999]

@@Chonkems if you start to throw grenades and just confine yourself to one spot, yeah. Watch, give it a try In last light in the store room in Venice when you start to tail Pavel. Knock the lights out and with a suppressed weapon just take out 1 or 2 and then reposition within the darkness. It isn’t down to a T, im being a bit hyperbolic with it but it does work in specific settings. Even on the frontline in 2033( till I was about 3/4 of the way over onto the reichs side before the tunnel where the trolly car comes rolling down) it worked well enough to be enjoyable

[@stanisawzokiewski3308]

Metro has perfect ludonarrative harmony. Only someone who spared all of his enemies, listened to every perspective, helped anyone he could, payed attention to each story even those who already died. Only someone like that would understand the dark ones. If you shoot everything that moves you're not the kind of person who would see the light in the dark. You have to not just earn the good ending but also LIVE IT.

Rip to the metro developer who died defending ukraine

[@blackjackgaming8572]

R.I.P “Two developers who worked on Metro have died while fighting in Ukraine during the Russian invasion: Andrii "Nizrok" Korzinkin An animator at Ukrainian studio 4A Games who worked on Metro Exodus died in October 2022 while fighting against Russian forces. A colleague described him as "a talented animator, incredible person and real hero". Volodymyr Yezhov A former developer at GSC Game World who died in action near Bakhmut in December 2022. A farewell ceremony was held for Yezhov at the Volodymyr Cathedral on December 27, 2022, with the participation of a military guard.”

[@theshooterflynn]

An interesting bit to help your gameplay: In basically all difficulties across the games, throwing knives are an instant 1 hit kill against all/most enemies. I think there are occasionally some instances where maybe you need two, but generally speaking as long as the throwing knife hits a hit box then the enemy dies. Legitimately one of my last playthroughs of Metro Redux I remember just using the knives to blitz through the library.

[@theshooterflynn]

Also you do get free easy access to NVGs at the frontline mission! If you turn around and walk back the way the cart came, you kill/incapacitate some Red Heavy troopers and the NVGs are in a lootable container. Later on in the same mission in no-mans-land if you are sneaking across the pipes above the toxic floor there is also a Tikhar riffle with high value upgrades along the way.

[@BlueLad98]

Oh wow I wasnt aware of that :o

[@narrowgauge0727]

Metro has one of my favorite fictional stories in a game, the only rival to half life. Gameplay wise too, its such a good game. I can't believe I beat it my first time, because I played on ranger hardcore, and I am the worst at stealth so I got in a lot of gunfights. It was hard especially since I barely had ammo, but man it was fun. I am excited to see a video from you on exodus, I found it cool, because I really like the "urgency" of a linear game, but I love exodus because they captured that feeling of urgency, in an open world game, with all the good story and even better characters than the past two games. It also felt more reasonable to do all the side content esque stuff, because in that world I actually had to scavenge to survive. In short absolutely amazing games and glad to see people covering it.

[@BlueLad98]

ohh buddy I agree 10000% and Exodus is on my to do list :)))

[@DrDashajacsonaleksan]

In the first game the "morality system" is not actually such, and you can kill all mutants and all bandits and Nazis and still get the good ending.

[@damionrichardson8806]

There are a set of good and bad actions that determine an ending though

[@DrDashajacsonaleksan]

@damionrichardson8806 yes but those are like 30% of the points, the bulk comes from exploration and listening.

[@GenesisBoi]

Funny enough i somehow missed this because i still got the bad ending

[@DrDashajacsonaleksan]

@GenesisBoi yup that's the thing you can go 100% pacifist and still get the bad ending because you did not explore or listen to convos

[@Chonkems]

@@GenesisBoi The bad ending is canon anyhow, and the good ending didn't feel like a very well written conclusion, considering that, in the book, Artyom finally understood the Dark Ones, only, he understood too late to stop what he had just set in motion.

[@jadedketchup515]

In the first game, I found the night vision in the chapter with the Reich and the Reds figth . It's right at the start of the chapter behind you , on a table near a juggernaut and a soldier on the right side of the wall .

[@TheTartanFox]

i found my set after i got saved in the room behind the one where you where about to be killed

[@queuque1234]

Yeah I found mine like that too, but I never really used it :/

[@Obozo_Gaming]

Something I love about the first Metro game, is that the bad ending is the canon ending. When games give you multiple endings, I would love if more games made the bad ending the canon ending.

[@whatever9749]

Just stumbled upon this video and watched all of it. As a fellow Metro fan, it's honestly heartwarming to listen to someone talk about this amazing series with such wonder and zeal. Great video man, keep doing what you're doing!

[@Bondrewd__21]

1:23:39 it was never stated in the games, but Artyom have a large fear of rats. Right before bombs fell he and his mother was strolling in Botanic gardens, and evacuated they in the metro station near gardens, but soon after a giant wave of tunnel rats came out from the depths of the metro, practically flooded station eating everything. Artyom saw how his mother was eaten alive by rats, while former soldier that was stationed at the station took him to the Exhibition. That soldier was Artyom’s step-dad. After these events Artyom would often try to go out to the surface near gardens because it was last good memory about his mother. And that’s exactly how Artyom met Black Ones.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but you can actually get night vision in the Frontline level (the one with the reds and the Reich are fighting) all you have to do is turn around at the start of the level and it is in red container on the wall, also the mutants on the surface are different from the nosalis, and they are called watchman.

1:41:43 on Ranger Hardcore I had to do the running technique a lot of times, and it is honestly a saviour in almost all of the mutants sections. The 6 chamber shotgun is also amazing, I used it throughout the games as it was a reliable way to get out of this technique when needed, or if you eventually get behind or in front some of those enemies

In last light there are also goggles in the building on the left when you cross the swamp after leaving venice.

[@Bloodlustian]

When I first played Metro at university in 2010 I was utterly blown away. I had played it on a torrent cracked copy. But after completing it I went and got the book to read through and a boxed copy of the game from a local store. The thing that blew me away with the game and the book was the atmosphere. It was oppressive, thick and you could feel it in every page of the book and every frame of the game. Metro 2034 wasn't translated into English at that time, but it did have a Swedish translation which I was able to work my way through, but to me it lacked the same character as the first book. I eventually got to meet Dimitri Glukhovski at a book signing nearly a decade later and asked him a few things about his influences and what he thought of the game, as generally authors have had a very poor view of video game adaptations of their games (I.E Sapkowskis Witcher) but he had nothing but kind words and praise for the guys at 4A games. While I think the story has reached its conclusion with Exodus. I do want to see what comes out of both of their minds next.

[@Bloodlustian]

Addition. What do you mean "On the nose" when talking about the 4th Reich? They are literally and canonically see themselves as a continuation of the mid century Germans who called themselves the 3rd Reich. It's not a sneaky nudge nudge look at that. But literally a progression of them and the battles between nazism and communism which played out in Ww2.

The writing can be messy sometimes. I would give them a 7/10. Worth a read or listen

(this commet with a million edits is made while watching the video, there are many details that i'll skip like when khan asks you to listen to the pipes and if you dont listen for too long, you dont get grabbed by the shadows) remember to take off your gasmask when its not need, aka when no one else is using it, also charge the flashlight and hellbreath (otherwise the hellbreath deals no damage when it has less than 80% charge) Just watched 4 minutes of the video, those enemies you encounter in the prologue are called "watchmen", the nosalis are the ones without any fur (1 minute later) you can take hunter's postcard, if you dont grab it from his hand you can just pick it up behind him on the lil brick thingi that he is sitting on On minute 18, the "directional system" is a compass in your lil notebook when you hold M (kinda useless imo with how straightforward the game is), also the blue indicator only tells you when you are in the light, no matter if there are enemies around or not and sometimes enemies can still see you in the dark (99% of the time being nosalis) On minute 43 about the nightvision goggles, you can get them as early as the frontline level (i dont remember seeing them earlier than that in any of my playthroughs), but i do agree that they pretty much have no use unless you are doing a bad ending run with the lowest brightness possible Minute 46, artyom gets jumped like twice a day and he is fine, but a well trained soldier has to blow himself up as soon as he gets touched by a mutant lmao Also minute 46, just use your flashlight and lighter, no need to ever use bullets against the spiders) ------------------ at 1:33:00 in last light, when you drink too much at the bar and pretty much destroy it, you can pay the barman 100 bullets as compensation for your troubles, giving you good karma overall, really good video, i really enjoyed it and hopefully many others do too

[@BlueLad98]

Yeah my bad hehe I only realized I fucked up the names of the watchmen v nosalis when I was already finished with the video ^^’ hehe my bad

[@AC-hj9tv]

Great vid my man

[@BlueLad98]

Glad you enjoyed

[@gerarddominus35]

I did QA on this title so I can say with authority that you've made a quality video

[@BlueLad98]

Awhh thank you so much and eyy thats sickk :))

[@CurtBOECORP.]

Just discovered you and I have to say you are fucking awesome don’t let anyone say otherwise 😤

[@BlueLad98]

Oh thank you so much hehe ^^

[@TheRealEveryman]

Although I´m still early in the video, love it so far. Been a fan of the metro series for a long time, reading all 3 main books and a number of in-series books from different locations and characters. Biggest thing I´m proud of is getting 100% achievements on all 3 games on xbox :p Can´t wait to see your Metro Last Light and maybe one day Metro Exodus video :p

[@BlueLad98]

Hope you enjoy it! and this video features Both metro 2033 and Last light if u watch the entire thing hehe ^^ Exodus ill do in the future!

I always thought the guy on the green horse is a reference to the famous painting, 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps' by Jacques-Louis David.

[@Lu1e_II]

cant wait for the metro exodus analysis video😀

[@sylwestermatuszak9329]

1:43:11 DO NOT SHOOT THE RHINO! Just make it crash into the pillars and once every pilar is gone shoot it then in the last/second arena, (i think it literally just takes a single shot to kill her once every pilar is destroyed).

[@devilmastar8925]

A little smart ass here, but the first mutants you fight with Miller 3:50 are not Nosalis, they are Watchman Hunter or Watchers, Nosalis have no fur, unlike Watchman. Nosalis are the ones that invade the metro when you meet Hunter for the first time. 12:49 If you really stop there for a moment and listen to the pipes, you can really hear something after a few seconds and Artyom reacts to it, like later with Khan. try turn around in the dream sequence with bourbon... After all, you still mentioned the Watchman in Last Light, was already a bit triggered that every opponent in 2033 was a Nosalis. 1:23:41 Why is everything a nosalis for you? LUL On the part where you ride with Regina where you are briefly on the surface with the extreme radiation you can also see the little Dark One standing on one of the struts. if you make all the other good decisions, you can kill lesnitzky and get the good ending. both Last Light endings give me goose bumps every time. cant wait for Exodus.

[@Shahmane666]

I picked up Exodus for ~$6 a couple days ago out of curiousity and I just finished Volga. I’m really shocked by how expansive it is as after escaping the church I was basically free to do whatever and thats basically what I did. I also didn’t know how in depth the story is and how your actions affect the outcome (Duke😢). Anyway i’ve been enjoying it so far and I cant wait to keep on playing and progressing

[@alessiogiovannetti513]

Regarding the morality system: Yesn’t of course not kill the humans help a lot but in the first two games of the series expect some scripted encounter (like the wounded mutant bear attacked by keepers in last light) you can kill almost any mutant with impunity. Also, regarding the humans: in the various pit stops at various stations and safe heaves there are a lot of positive karma points events, that, along with some other positive events along the journey allow you to rank up enough positive karma points to allow you to kill quite a lot of humans without losing the good ending. In exodus is even much opener: every mutant can be killed with impunity without losing karma, and, for the human enemies, you just need to understand who are the asshole enemies and who are the people scared of you, for example: on the Volga you want to kill as fiew cultists as possible, but you can kill as many bandits as you want and you would still save Duke.

Holy great video with nice edit

[@BlueLad98]

Oh thank you :))

[@Normalmofaga]

i dunno if its a bit far streched to say this but i pretty sure that the church in the swamp is a refrence to stalker, which also has a chruch in the great swamp at the right bottom part of the map

[@BlueLad98]

oh wow I don't know if it is but that would be such a cool little detail :D

[@insane7718]

When in doubt ... look up

[@CondemnedMarine]

Can confirm, you do NOT have to spare any of the basic enemies to get the good endings in either game. If you get mostly every other moral point, and avoid the negative ones, you get the good ending.

[@ChrisG-zg8vw]

You can actually find a few night night vision goggles in the game like in in the mission like in blackstation in the start in the left next to the lamp on the backpack. You can also find 3 night vision goggles on the level front line (1 of them is in the next mission Trolley combat and can be found at 29:35 in the video) and two of them are hard to find and requires you look look around the map like one is in the very start of the mission front line when Artyom falls off the trolley and if you turn around and head the opposite of the trolley you can find two soldiers next to a campfire and if you kill both of them you would be able to find a orange box that should have ammo or medkits but also had the goggles.

[@callmev.2397]

Fantastic video. I can't believe the view count is this low, keep up the great work!

[@BlueLad98]

Oh wow thank you so much ^^ that does mean a lot! I’m trying my hardest so thank you!

[@callmev.2397]

@@BlueLad98 Are you planning to cover Exodus as well?

[@BlueLad98]

@@callmev.2397 Yes sir! I got like 1-2 other videos first but after that it's time for Exodus :)

[@callmev.2397]

@@BlueLad98 one suggestion I would have when it comes to the video production - there were a lot of sudden transitions between extremely dark clips to pure white or extremely light shots. It would be much easier on the eyes if it wasn't such a drastic sudden jump. I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism, I'm no expert but it's just something I noticed.

[@BlueLad98]

@@callmev.2397 Oh dude I totally appriciate any feedback that can help me improve :D ill keep that in mind for the next video ^^

[@onedumbgamer9672]

I will say, i love the Metro series of games but i heavily prefer the books. They have so much more character for Artyom and the others
