I encountered several problems on the way. I used earbud headphones that came with my old Galaxy S5 because I'm not a jerk to other passengers. I might have been the only person in the whole of the city to be thankful that it was rush hour.įor the Newark-to-New-York-City leg of my trip, I sat down and played through the campaign of Metro 2033 Redux on the Nintendo Switch. Thankfully, another train pulled up less than a minute later. The first train was pulling out of the station just as I got there. The trip roughly takes 25 minutes each way. From there, I would hop on the PATH Train (a subway that links New Jersey and New York) and travel all the way to the World Trade Center station. I stuffed my Nintendo Switch into a laptop bag and headed off to Newark Penn Station. Now it was time to take it out on the town. Metro Redux looks pretty darn good for a Nintendo Switch game and it takes a little longer to boot than it does on PC. All Aboard - Taking a Round Trip to New York City These mutants are almost as big as NYC's subway rats. It let me get right back into the action. On the upside, the suspend feature on the Switch is snappy as heck. I experienced similar load times playing through the first few levels of the game. Loading a level for the first time took 45 seconds.

Unsurprisingly, it takes longer to load into a level on the Nintendo Switch. ** Nintendo Switch V2 Model 'HAC-001 (-01)' with longer battery life.

Metro 2033 Redux booted up rather quickly on the Nintendo Switch. One quick thing I wanted to address was the load times. Firing Up the Engine - The Difference in Load Times The bright white background emphasized this slight graphical downgrade. This is one of the few scenes where the jaggies were noticeable. I'm happy to report that neither of the Metro Redux games suffered from this problem in my time with them. Of course, graphical fidelity doesn't count for squat if the game drops frames or stutters. Aside from these occasional jagged edges popping up, Metro Redux looked pretty good on the Switch. I noticed some jagged edges on Hunter's shoulder during an early part of the game. Last Light is too action-focused and the pricing for both is unwisely high.Įmail leave a comment below, and follow us on Twitterįor more stories like this, check our Gaming page.There was only one glaringly obvious bugbear. Graphics can still impress, despite their age.Ĭons: The gunplay and artificial intelligence was never great in either game and feels very basic nowadays. Ambitious, if often opaque, storytelling. Pros: Convincing atmosphere and interesting stealth and survival elements, especially in 2033. In Short: The games are beginning to approach their sell-by-date, but the impressively oppressive post-apocalyptic atmosphere still has plenty of appeal.

Metro 2033, based on the novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky, was first released on Xbox 360 and PC in 2010. Given those examples, ports of the first two Metro games make perfect sense, even though the originals are rather old now. Especially as even being published by a rival is no obstacle for the likes of previously Xbox exclusive games such as Ori And The Blind Forest and Cuphead. When titles as violent and adult-themed, not to mention technically advanced, as Doom and The Witcher 3 make it then all bets are off. Remasters of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light are brought to Nintendo Switch but how do they compare to modern post-apocalyptic games?Īt this point it’s become impossible to guess what games will or won’t come to the Switch.
