Metro 2033 Redux

Game that stands as very good despite the many years since release. Does not have a lot of bloat. The well developed gun-play and fast-paced story keep it interesting. The art design is also unique and give the game a unique feel.

Resistance: Fall of Man à la Fallout: U.S.S.R.

Solid game. Runs well and plays smoothly. Enjoyed

The ending to this game is pretty cool, but there have been way too many time where I wanted to uninstall the game.

Its like fallout but in a tunnel from russia. I really like the horror elements to this, though the stealth is lacking but still enjoyable.
Haven't played the original of this game but damn the redux version are super impressive, The graphics felt way better than some of the recent games. The story is very interesting to look about another take of apocalyptic world but damn, the world building of this game is magnificent.
Lads, the story is peak, I'm telling you

Would recommend

This was a game that I initially played when it came out as Metro 2033, I enjoyed that game so much that I sought out a UK-exclusive version of the book, which had not yet been brought to America by that point.

Replaying it now, I fear that I was a kid, and didn't really have the taste to be discerning. The thing that made this game so appealing to me at the time was the horror elements. Playing this now, the jank that was at one time endearing, presently, made this almost funnier than scary. And brother, there is a lot of jank.

I never played Last Light, because as I mentioned before, I loved the way this felt like a horror game at times. From everything I saw it became an action-stealth game, with plentiful ammo and health regen.

I'll FINALLY be giving Last Light a shot after hearing great things about Exodus.

I guess this should serve as a warning that replaying your favorite games years later can change the way that you feel about them.

I still love you, Артём.

Oh my God dude, this game is amazing. The graphics are old-ish, but it's still stunning. From the desolate cityscapes, to the dark tunnels of the Metro. The story and gameplay is fun but still challenging. There is a constant lack of ammunition which is kind of annoying at times. The gunplay is similar to some early COD titles. I seriously recommend trying this out. I got it on sale for less than $3 USD, and the spring sale is in a couple months. Pick it up if you have some extra clams lying in your Steam wallet. 9/10

Awesome game that is definitely worth your time. Its gameplay mechanics, graphics and atmosphere makes it for you quite difficult to put it down. I didn't run into any craches and glithces, everyting worked just fine. the gameplay was smooth. Its narrative is also on point (most if which was taken from the self-titled book written by Glukhovsky). I don't see any reason not to buy it (definitely do it on sale when it costs a penny) and not to get acquainted with this wonderful franchise.

Metro 2033 Redux – Darkness, Despair, and the Occasional Radiation Tan

Ah, Metro 2033 Redux, the game that makes you question why you ever thought crawling through a post-apocalyptic subway system filled with mutated nightmares was a good idea. But hey, at least the lighting is great, right?

[hr][/hr]
Pros:

• Atmosphere galore: The game is so immersive that you can practically feel the dampness of the tunnels and the crushing weight of existential dread.
  
• Story-rich experience: A tale of survival, humanity, and wondering why Artyom doesn’t just find a nice bunker and call it a day.
  
• Stunning visuals: The apocalypse has never looked so beautiful—or terrifying. You’ll stare at the scenery... right before something jumps out to eat you.
  
• Stealth or chaos: Sneak past enemies like a shadow in the night or unleash fury with the kind of makeshift weapons that scream, "I ran out of duct tape halfway through."
  
• Gas mask simulator: Nothing beats the thrill of wiping dirt and blood off your visor as you gasp for air. Peak immersion.
  

• Ammo is currency: Every bullet you fire is a direct hit to your wallet. Want to survive? Hope you’re good at budgeting.
  
• Tunnel vision: You’ll spend a lot of time underground. If you were hoping for open-world exploration, this isn’t it—unless you count the open world of horrific nightmares.
  
• Mutants and bandits: These guys have clearly never heard of personal space.
  
[*] Voice acting: Sometimes it’s a bit stiff, but hey, it’s the apocalypse; everyone’s probably too depressed to emote properly.

Being new to the metro series, I wasn't sure what to expect. The game has a unique atmosphere to it for sure, with the metro itself always making you feel a sense of unease. You feel relieved once you arrive at an outpost or receive help from fellow survivors. The game does not hold your hand at all, with minimal tutorials. The FPS part of it is fun, with most of the guns being viable options that can be adjusted to suit your play style. The game shows its age when it comes to the AI of the human enemies however. They are very "computer-like" and behave like a hive mind, communicating with each other your location telepathically. That's really my biggest complaint. If you are new to the series, the game does not make it clear (or at least I missed it) that there is a karma system, as in your actions in game affect the story. There is a good and a bad ending. The screen edges flash white when you perform something good, and black when bad to let you know if you're acting as intended. Overall, it's a great horror-fps single player experience, and would definitely recommend it.

I completed this a while back, but the story and the world it was set in was amazing. Gameplay wise, this game is great also.

Overall is an excellent game, love the story and gameplay... Good AI as well. How to use certain weapon like pumping the gun is easily missed by beginner. Scary playthrough for first timer, nice jumpscares and atmosphere. One thing I would complain about is the ladder climbing bug when V-sync is OFF.

Amazing score, action and lots of goosebumps moment. This is a mix of resident evil+far cry+dishonored
I am not comparing but the story and everything is so good. I loved it. Also not very big and not very small. I wonder how is the experience in true gaming set up.

Very good gameplay, nice graphics and the file size is very small

The atmosphere is really creepy at times. The story differs quite a bit from the book, but it’s still very good. And I am glad I was able to finally play this beautiful but chilling game.

I was honestly kind of blown away. The Redux version of this game holds up very well against modern titles to this day. The storytelling is great. The A4 Engine is a beast. I'll be honest and say it took me a while to actually get into the game, but once I did I was hooked. My only complaint would be the dream sequences, but I hate those in games in general. Definitely worth a play through, especially if you've tried it before and just couldn't get into it.

(reflecting on how novel-to-video-game adaptations never do any justice to the literary parlance of their forefathers...)
you know what,
this one's alright. ✧˖°. ⋆｡˚(✿ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)｡･:*˚:✧｡

8/10 - Game holds up for a game being made 14+ years ago. The Soundtrack and Environment are top tier. Only complaints are the game feels a bit clunky when engaging with several enemies at the same time. For the best experience id recommend playing on the 2nd to hardest difficulty. While not impossible, the extra ammo on this mode would go a long way. Playing on the hardest mode with very scarce ammo is not for the faint of heart. Can't wait to play the 2nd one.

Great game, got on sale for $3 and well worth it. If you are looking to play definitely wait for it to go on sale as it is not very long. Goes on sale quite often.

Fun gameplay and good story. Look forward to playing Last Light (also got for $3).

finally decided to finish this game after owning it for years, its really solid, also thankfully quick, after whats felt like an age of overtly bloated games that take you about 50 hours just to get through the story playing a cool, well done, well paced 10 hour story is a nice change of pace.

Great game with a great story with a great color palette with great progression.

Took me sub 30 hours to get all achievments with 2 playthroughs and the probably sub 10 to beat the story.

I Highly Reccommend.

This is my first time playing a metro game and I have to say the narrative around this game is very good. I haven't played the other games yet but after playing this game I have high hopes for them. My only gripe was that it was a lot shorter than I was expecting.

I recommend this game 100%, the story and action in this game are a 10/10. If you are searching for a action FPS game that has a story to it, THIS is the one (it may be an old game but its still awesome)

Цікава гра. Грав в неправильному порядку і спершу пройшов "Metro: Last Light". Хоч ця частина і старіша, проте сподобалася більше через те що, гра запускається на слабкому залізі і видає гарну картинку, цим грамотно користуються показуючи гарні краєвиди. Одним словом: 2 частина краща у сюжеті, ця у графіці та краєвидах

metro definitely one of the best trilogies i ever played, incredible post apocalypse vibes

Amazing Game, Beautiful yet Horrifying, 1000/10 WOULD RECOMMEND TO PLAY

Coming from never playing any Metro game or even having knowledge of the story or setting, this game was amazing and highly recommend it. I picked it up during a sale for the Metro bundle for cheap, worth every penny.

What a great game. I already finished it on Epic games but i wanted to write something here.

Overall the game is ok. One of the best experiences if we are talking about post-apo games.

pretty fire yk just a vibe really. Tap fire monsters in the head preserve your ammo. Uh on the guards just let the choppa blow you dont need to sneak past them. Use military rounds they one shot most of the time.

very gud game
I was playing at night and my bro came behind me and scared me
Fereasca god ca era sa die

A breath of fresh air in first person shooters; a mix of light survival and first person shooter mixed with good atmosphere and story. It just works(TM).

This is my first foray into the Metro universe. This is a fun game when I use WeMod to remove the game mechanics that make it overly complicated. Mechanics like wiping my gas mask, changing the filter, etc take away from the immersion of the game. In general the game is fantastic though.

the game is really well made and even tho its gameplay is only about 5-7 hours you willl remamber this game as one of the most rewarding game EVER.

I recommend the trilogy if you're a fan of narrative driven stories. If you are a fan of games like fallout, stalker or even the COD campaigns. Your first playthough might take about 15 hours, but there are 2 endings. The world building is top notch as you play through the eyes of someone who hardly remembers the old world and those that survived don't talk about the politics of what led to the end.

Conclusion:
Metro 2033 Redux is a great choice for fans of narrative-driven and survival games. This version offers both new and returning players a chance to experience the classic story with modern enhancements.

A great story and fun weapons! I recommend playing it with the audio in Russian as it makes for a more realistic experience.

I woke a librarian and he nailed me to the wall. No manners what so ever. 10/10 and runs great on the ally x

I'm pleasantly surprised at how well this game holds up a decade later! Works well on the Steam Deck.

Such an amazing and outstanding game. Anyone who loves post war worlds will definitely love this game, everything from the story, world around you, gameplay and even soundtracks are wonderful. it knows when and how to become scary at the best times
will absolutely continue the rest of the series

Metro 2033 Is a really good game that falls short on a few things in regards to it holding up in big 2024.
The story is established well, The game play albeit dated, it holds up extremely well and it aids in explaining a story about the journey of Artyom from Exhibition to Polis.

Recommended. Would play again in the future if bored.

10/10 classic. Story is amazing, really cool gameplay mechanics. Atmosphere is soo good. Just buy it. I bought the book its based on because i love it so much.

Fun game with a great narrative, but you should know that it crashes, glitches and soft-locks a LOT. Sometimes you will have to completely restart levels that felt drawn out the first time through.

Once I started, it was very difficult to put down. It's gritty, tense, sometimes creepy and very good. The graphics are gorgeous, the atmosphere is on point, the sound design is top quality, the story is compelling and the game-play is satisfying and solid. This is one of those games that I wish I could play for the first time all over again. I loved it.

Recommended. Play for the story first and restart for the achievement.

its great game with great grapics cool story and cool fights

Great game but I feel like puking whenever I play this specific game, probably due to the controls or just the game atmosphere. Never had the issue on the succeeding game though (metro last light).

Amazing remaster. Classic fun shooter game. probably one of the most immersive I have ever played.
