Great game, it really hooks.
I just finished this game and this is what I have to say:
The game has nice graphics. The ambientance is also good. You get inside it (sometimes puts you in some stress moments!), and the story is awesome. The weapons are customizable and has several difficulty settings. Is definitely worth to play it. The ammunition sparing and spreading is very ok if you know how to spare them. The autosave function saves you some headaches btw :P. Another nice feature is that while you're completing episodes, you're able to re-play them from the main menu. I would re-play it.
By the other side, in my opinion, it has it's cons.
Metro 2033 is not open world (this one is a personal opinion). I assume that is not intended to be an open world since is based in a book, and the weapons variety are few. At least you can customize them. The game itself Is short. I finished it in 10 hours, and hoped to keep on playing for 5 more at least. I personally miss some more hordes and monsters to kill, and more accurate autosaves. Also misses the achievements and some extras. Without the extras, the game left me the sensation of a plain story to play.
