    I'm sure it's an awesome game, and it seems to run very well on the Switch. However, the lack of gamma and brightness controls make the game unplayable in handheld mode – it's simply too dark, in some stealth sections the screen is literally pitch black. And since I have a Switch Light, playing it docked is not an option. So for me, this game isn't even functional.

    Focusing on combat in a game like Metro 2033 is kind of missing the point. You’re here to survive to see the next day, not go in with guns blazing and rack up body counts. It’s a dark, tension-filled experience, and it’s well worth checking out on the Switch if you haven’t yet had a chance to play it.

    While certainly an interesting game, Metro 2033 won’t be for every first-person shooter fan. However, if you enjoy a more thought provoking, story-driven adventure you’ll most likely enjoy yourself. With all of the game’s DLC included, there’s a good amount of content to keep you busy.

    A marvel of a technical port, and probably the best way to experience Metro 2033: this is Metro 2033 Redux on Switch, and, even with long loading times, we cannot recommend it enough.
