You should give it another try! There are three games in this series and I thought the second one, Metro Last Light, was the best. I am at the end of Exodus and I need to defeat a giant mutant blind gorilla. Mostly you just mash the "E" key, but I'm just not getting by him. Had to give up for a couple of days.
Yeah, I've got The Witcher Wild Hunt ready to go too. Too many games and not enough time - especially with gardening season coming up!
