If you enjoy single player shooters and don’t mind horror elements, I can’t recommend the Metro series enough. Told in the pre-Metro 2039 trilogy, the story of franchise hero Artyom and his companions is a beautiful tale of hope and resilience in a dark, post-nuclear world surrounded by the most compelling FPS gameplay and atmosphere I’ve ever experienced.
Metro Exodus in particular stands out as my favorite open world shooter with unparalleled immersion, world design and responsiveness, but the series as a whole is a masterpiece. It’s not worth the full price, so enjoying it for the price of a beer is one of the best deals you’ll ever get. Get the games while they’re still cheap – I promise you won’t regret it.
Are you excited to get your hands on Metro 2039 later this year? Have you played Metro games before? If not, will you use these deals to do so? I’d love to hear from you, so let me know in the comments.
