![]() That said, given that Metro 2033 is a survival horror game, that’s not the worst area for this port to feel a little off. Your aim has to be precise, but not only do you have to contend with lousy guns, low-light and erratically moving enemies, you’re also fighting with an aiming system that feels like it’s working at cross-purposes from you. Every so often you have no choice but to stand and fight, and when that happens, it feels like you’re fighting with the game’s controls as much as you are with the monsters. The one area where the game may be a little lacking, however, is the combat. That experience has arrived on the Switch fully intact. This is a game where you have to scrounge for and preserve your bullets, and where you often have to make the choice to run rather than stay and fight. When monsters charge at you through flickering lights, the experience is the same here as you’d get on any other console.Īnd since Metro 2033 is based so much around its atmosphere - gloomy, desperate, tense - it works here mostly pretty well. The dark graphics are a feature, not a bug, which means that the game didn’t have to sacrifice too much to come over to the Switch.

If no one can see what’s happening, after all, no one can see the rough edges and papered-over seams. Metro 2033 seems to have discovered the solution to this challenge: make everything as dark and dank as possible. I mean, I loved The Witcher 3, and Skyrim, and Bioshock, and all kinds of other classics that have come over to Nintendo’s hybrid console, but I think it’s clear that they don’t necessarily look as good as they do on other systems.
