This game is such an embarrassment.

***SPOILERS AHEAD***




It fails to let you know that how you play is measured and your actions have consequences, expecting kindness in a game that repeatedly beats Artyom & crew down. The cannibals, slavers and bandits are one thing, but after all that, expecting me to not kill some forest rats because they aren't actually bad makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense. The sense of isolation got bigger in this game, and yet you're expected to show kindness after the events of the last two games. I feel that the writers of this game are tone-deaf to what the last two games set up.

Considering that Artyom was initially depicted as a "brutish thug" in the first book, this is a far cry of what I thought Metro to be by the 3rd game.

Overall, do not recommend. Just download and play Stalker again.
