I built this main station based on the Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Currently, three fully developed subway lines run through the Main Island and come together here as a hub.
Kurze Frage: Wieso kann man bei TR eigentlich nur maximal 5 Jahre auf den Aktienkurs zurückschauen, wenn ich mir den Verlauf (maximal) anziehen lasse?
Metro had been sitting on my wishlist for several years. I actually played a bit of Metro 2033 once when I borrowed a physical copy from a friend. That was almost ten years ago. I never really got back into it afterward and, up until now, hadn’t bought a single game in the series, even though I often had opportunities to pick one up at a very low price.
A few days ago, both Redux versions plus Exodus were on sale for a total of about €10. Naturally, I grabbed them and finally decided to start with the first game. Once I reached the level where I had stopped ten years ago, the tunnel demolition, I was completely hooked. I was practically thrown into the story and found myself constantly balancing between surviving in post apocalyptic Moscow and trying to understand everything that was happening around me.
As soon as I finished the story, I immediately started Last Light, and I have to say: I am amazed. It’s been a long time since I’ve played such an outstanding sequel in the video game industry.
Every decision I made was based purely on conviction. I returned the teddy bear. I spared old soldiers who surrendered. Others, especially those who looked like officers, I did not spare. I did not spare Lesnitsky. He was a traitor. But I spared Pavel, simply because I could not bring myself to kill him in that way. Throughout the game, I genuinely believed I was doing the right thing. I thought I was the good guy.
But by the end of the story, it became clear to me: the one who sees the speck in another person’s eye often fails to notice the beam in their own. When we judge who is good or evil, who deserves to live or die, we are doing nothing different from what caused the war in the first place.
And so, I had to destroy D6.
Only after finishing the game did I learn that there is an alternative ending. A good ending. Maybe I’ll get there someday, but for now I won’t even look it up. First, I’m going to play Metro Exodus, and I hope it’s at least half as good as the two games that came before it.
