Notes:
-On the Alyx comparison: I don’t know if Vertigo was actually inspired by Alyx or if they intentionally designed Awakening to be like Alyx, there are just a lot of clear parallels, so it’s an assumption on my part.
-Ranger mode is not perfect and I have mixed feelings about how it’s implemented across the series. But that discussion wasn’t relevant here, and I believe what I said in the video about Ranger mode is reasonable enough to get my points across.
-I think it’s important to acknowledge that a lot of what I discuss about the Metro series likely began with the Redux updates in 2014. I played Metro 2033 when it first came out but don’t remember much of it. However, I do remember that 2033’s original release was not as dynamic or clean as the Redux version is. So I know some of these things are relatively new to the series, but I don’t think they’re so new that Awakening couldn’t have implemented them.
-I use Into the Radius as a comparison just because it’s the closest thing to Metro that I’ve played. I know about Convrgence but haven’t played it yet.
