The stealth gameplay remains solid - clearing rooms of enemies and quietly working your way through is as satisfying as ever, but there's also a lot of downtime. Even though performance is limited to 30 frames per second, the team has perfectly tweaked analogue stick dead zone and sensitivity while ensuring fast input response. On PS4 and Xbox One, Metro Redux runs at 60 frames per second and both consoles maintain that performance very well. Overall, looking at the package as a whole, this is an impressive release. His keen eye for and obsession with high frame-rates have earned him the nickname "The Human FRAPS" in some circles. This has been the case for many recent games over the past few years but Metro Redux offers a remarkable stark comparison due to its earlier release on PS4 and Xbox One. It's a compromise we've seen on many challenging Switch ports - especially the id Tech 6 conversions from Panic Button.4A Games itself handles the port with terrific results.This site © 2020 Gamer Network Limited.

There are definite shades of Alien Isolation here in that almost every key elements transitions across from PlayStation 4 almost perfectly. Metro Exodus has its fair share of this too but it lets players off the leash more often. It's really one of the best presented Switch games in portable mode. Game Rating. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever.You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised underground. The sometimes extended loading times really are the only major issue I encountered during testing and even that is variable depending on the stage.Bad puns and video games since 1999.For those unfamiliar, the first two Metro games are first-person shooters set deep within the radiation ravaged Metro system beneath Moscow. Metro Redux is a unique experience that has somehow managed to translate over beautifully to Nintendo Switch - and 4A Games' reputation for technical excellence is demonstrated yet again. Redux offers improved textures and models, a new lighting and materials model and more detail all around. Metro Redux is is a must play for fans of the series or even a great place to start for those who want to check out Metro Exodus. Starting with Metro 2033, I ran a full hour of gameplay through our tools and determined that the frame-rate was locked to 30fps throughout with only one or two rare missed frames or spikes. The visual quality is comparable to the earlier releases of Redux and the average pixel count is higher than many other comparable conversions such as Wolfenstein 2 or Doom 2016. The year is 2033. Never miss a thing.4A Games' Metro Exodus is a simply phenomenal experience. In fact, Redux goes further in some respects. A simple pixel count no longer tells the whole story and certainly doesn't encapsulate the difference in visual quality. Even still, the games are both still engaging and interesting to play through today. Meanwhile, on Switch, 4A opts for a properly frame-paced, pretty much locked 30 frames per second. First of all, the rumble support isn't exactly nuanced and as it stands, it detracts from the atmosphere the game generates - I turned it off. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside.Including the epic single-player campaigns of both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, Metro Redux takes you on a journey from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions will determine the fate of mankind.But will they even listen? However, these moments are uncommon and don't adequately represent actual gameplay. These games were released during the height of the 'cinematic scripted' shooter craze and you spend a lot of time following NPCs around as they perform actions or engage in conversation. It looks good on a CRT or OLED monitor, of course, but the Switch uses a mediocre LCD panel and the backlight glow is painfully obvious making it look somewhat less impressive and more difficult to see. Yes, it's another Switch port we're tackling but this time, the original developer has taken point on bringing the games across and as it's 4A you know you're in for something special.Up until this point, you may be forgiven for thinking that this port is nigh-on perfect, but there are a couple of areas where I'd hope to see some improvements. Alien Isolation received some criticism for additional input latency but 4A's efforts here are crisp and highly responsive.
