I think it was a cheezy article. Okay the Metro guys don't have the luxuries of big AAA studios but thousands of developers have made amazing stuff with scarce resources for decades. It's nothing special to lift up, and certainly not in the light of a 82% Metacritic.

82% without huge marketing(telling people what to think,like and buy)

without paid reviews(i'll pay you for advertising you give my game90%+)to create a hype

and being an unknown developer outside of usa/japan/western europe

 

is a 89 % game.

 

but i'm pretty sure even shit like Alien CM will sell more units than this game.

I agree with you on how those factors influence the scores. And I hate how the big players in the industry steal all the attention from the small guys. I too would like Metro to sell millions.

But I still think the article was cheezy.
