"Not only is it a great excuse to jump back into two of the best single player shooters of the last decade, it’s also an impressive showcase of what talented developers can do even when they’re working with limited power." Not only is it a great excuse to jump back into two of the best single player shooters of the last decade, it’s also an impressive showcase of what talented developers can do even when they’re working with limited power. Games like The Witcher 3 and Alien Isolation have already impressed audiences with how well they work on the Switch, and Metro Redux is good enough to join those ranks. The results are surprisingly good- which has become something of a trend with Switch ports of third party titles. The series has since gone on to expand its horizons with last year’s Metro Exodus, but 4A Games have taken a pause to look back into the past- and they’ve done so by putting remastered versions of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light on the Switch, making this not only the first time that the series appears on a Nintendo system, but also the first time it’s playable on a handheld console. In a market that was starved for games like that then, 4A Games’ excellent post-apocalyptic shooter was exactly what the doctor ordered, and its sequel, Metro: Last Light, was more of the same. Metro 2033 came out at a time when first person shooters were veering more and more into the realm of online gaming, when story-driven single payer shooters like Half-Life were becoming a rarity, and multiplayer games like Call of Duty and Battlefield were ruling the roost.
