4A Games
Underrated Developers That Deserve More Attention
As under appreciated as 4A Games is, their main series is equally not given the attention it really deserves. The Metro games are some of the best single player shooters you can find, and yet, it seems like they aren’t given nearly as much attention as something like Doom or Wolfenstein.
That’s changed a bit with Metro Exodus, which received positive reviews, but with a bevy of other great games this year it’s still easy to overlook it. 4A Games puts so much effort and attention to detail in their games, and they constantly try out new and interesting ideas.
Metro 2033 made you use bullets as both ammo and money, adding a new layer to survival mechanics, while Metro Exodus introduced unique open world elements and dynamic weather that affects your combat abilities.
Based on a series of novels, the Metro games also tell riveting stories that put an interesting spin on the post-apocalyptic setting, trapping you in the dark Metro tunnels beneath Russia.
While Metro is mainly the only thing that 4A Games studio has made, most of the core team are developers from GSC Game World, the makers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
The studio has drastically improved with each new entry they’ve put out, and with the level of quality Metro Exodus shows, it’ll be interesting to see where 4A Games goes next.
