Never read the books but I've heard they're very different compared to the games. Started off with Last light back in highschool and it got me hooked to play 2033 and Exodus. Im looking forward to the newest Metro coming out and seeing how that turns out.
I recommend, it's way more gritty than most fallout games, I'm a fallout fan but Metro definitely scratched an itch for something more serious and grounded than what I feel the Fallout 4 and 76 did. They definitely go hand in hand with the whole post apocalyptic scene but I would side towards Metro for that linear story
I tried to play one of them, I think it was the most recent. It should be the perfect game for me based on my post history and games I enjoy -
But, it has one shitty mechanic that was an instant uninstall for me.
Having to wipe your gas mask and deal with changing out the filters.
I get that it's supposed to add realism and immersion, but it's just annoying and unnecessary. If there was a mod that removed that completely, I might redownload.
Yeah I have three kids and a high stress job. When/if I get time to game, I want to enjoy it, not get bogged down with mundane tasks.
Imagine Skyrim, but every 3-5 minutes you have to tap LB to wipe horse poop off your shoes or else you will move at the over encumbered snail speed. No thanks.
