I think I got confused towards the end of this because by the time I got to the end I actually had no idea what was happening but sure I liked the rest of it.
Not as good as the first game. Mechanically there's some quality of life stuff and some more engaging gameplay moments. But the story begins to get a bit unwieldy and the charm of the first game is lost. The experience isn't as novel as the first game and the story not as tight.
Still the Metro series is a great time and the games stand right alongside Last of Us or Bioshock in terms of compelling apocalyptic video game narratives. And I'll even say the Metro series has the best gameplay of three (though the weakest storyline of them).
I'd play the Metro series ten times over to scratch my apocalyptic shooter rpg itch before I'd go back to Fallout
