Lost save

Small rant to get off my chest. I tried metro for the first time the last few days (2033 Redux). It's been on my list for a while of things that look good that I wanted to play.

No manual saves, checkpoint saves only. Ok, I don't like that system (just let players save when they want) but I understand why devs do it for anything remotely close to the survival genre. The thing is, if you're not going to allow manual saves your game has to be SOLID.

Cut forward 6 hours, I'm having a tonne of fun, and happen to die to poor gas mask management. That's ok, I'll try and speedrun that section to get back to clean air. Except I died seconds after a checkpoint. Now the game just loads a black screen for a few seconds, I die, rinse repeat. Endless loop, game over.

I'm not re-playing 6 hours. If you're not going to allow players to make their own saves, and only haver the one single save file, BUILD YOUR GAME PROPERLY.

Rant over. Game was fun, but I'm done.

EDIT: Thanks to u/N1Narmo who pointed out you can re-load a mission from the chapters menu off the main menu. Legend, cheers :)
