I probably have similar sentiments. I hated the boss fights, I disliked the overly supernatural parts, I hated the shoehorned "love story" and I hated the ending and the general vibe of Artyom being russian Rambo.

I loved the start travelling with Pavel, reminded me of travelling with Bourbon and I loved the settlements. Venice and Theater are some of the best Metro bits I've seen between the first two games.

Overall it didn't hit the same for me, it felt like it leaned away from the grounded bits I loved in 2033 and leaned more into set pieces and action movie spectacle.
