As someone who loved the first two games (I don't care for Exodus at all) I bought 2033 and 2034, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HELL are they difficult to read. Very convoluted, very heavy on lore dumps. The first books has PAGES just explaining the layout of the Metro stations, their locations, their factions etc, and by page 50 I find myself still not giving a ♥♥♥♥ about the story, so I put it down.
