Metro 2033 Redux

soft locked at d6 tower where you must shoot the demon, i have no ammo. unacceptable

Lovingly crafted gem. Immersive atmosphere, interesting story, and polished gameplay. The remaster has aged well, and I haven't found a single bug.

Almost a detailed remake of the book Metro 2033. Great and beautiful game.
For the best experience I strongly recommend buying all three games (Metro 2033 redux, Metro Last Light redux, Metro Exodus) to fully understand the story

Immersive game with a nice story and a banger ending. Absolutely recommend picking it up if you haven't already. It is a bit clunky but that's normal for a 2010 game..

This game can be brutal, but rewarding. The story telling is amazing, the game at times made me tense, but in a good way. I am glad I experienced it and looking forward to playing the next couple games in the series!

A solid experience, 8 out of 10.
Gameplay:
It's really atmospheric and engaging. The combat is fun, the mechanic is good, and the armory is unique.
Story:
Well, it's based on a novel. It has solid ground, but the story telling feels kinda short.
Visual:
Outstanding, despite the game's age.

Too many bugs, game crash for nothing. dev just doesn't fix the game

One of the few games I have played several times, over many years. I wish they made more games as good as the metro series, but this is my favorite of them.

Bought this game because it was on Sale. Man they dont make games like this anymore... Really enjoyed it :)

Awesome game. great story mixed with really good game play, the story is what drives you forward and the progression is very nice.

Atmosphere and graphics are great and story is also good so far. But the movement and the controls are very dated. This game notably has a left analog drift bug So controllers are not recommended. Stealth is bad, enemies detect you from far away. The thing I hated the most is that this game throws a lot of enemies at you wave after wave like a horde killing game and it gets very boring and annoying when you only have a limited supply of ammo. Half life is better.

Oh boy... love this game and love the story but it's painfully buggy this game and poorly optimized for PC... i cant play more than an hour in a row without crashing , freezing or some other glitches or bugs...

im having a fun time with this game i see why my friends recommended this game to me its fun and interesting and for a game made in 2014 it dosent look too bad and it reminds me of the good old ps3/360 days BUT there is one down side to this game and it is optimisation its not optimised but its not to bat at least i get drops down to 40ish frames and i have a 4070 32 gigs of ram 3600mhz with a i9 10850k so its unfortunate i get drops that low but other than that i like the game a lot and i will continue playing it and finishing it to move on to the next metro games ill give this game a 8 out of 10 its a good game its playable but i do think people with a 2070 or lower might get lower frame drops than i did

Look. I cannot explain just how much I love the setting and story. I cannot put into words just how fantastic the characters, world, and narrative is.

But this is a game. Not a book.

And the gameplay has my two least favorite things EVER. Enemy difficulty "scaling" that consists of making them bullet sponges, in a survival horror to top it off :/, and map/level design that doesn't make it intuitive where to go. The first one makes any combat (especially holdout) section either boring, frustrating, or both. The second one means that outside of combat you kinda just wander around until the game moves you forward.

The game part of this game is nothing but boredom and frustration. I wish this was a book...

BUYERS BEWARE! The game is poorly optimized for pc, I tried everything I could to make this game run well but more often than not I experienced severe drops in framerate. I'm talking like 17-27 frames every so often. I would then spike to 40-58 but that was rare when in combat.
The CONS: That aside, this game is very dated and even with this remaster it shows. You'll feel lost often in the levels, guiding the players in the right direction is very subtle which can be frustrating in a game that's somewhat challenging like this one. That being said I didn't experience anything crazy in terms of difficulty, you can stealth past many encounters and the human ai is so simple if you do get into trouble isnt not that hard to duck and shoot taking them out. Monsters are clunky to fight and the game will at times send you into a cutscene or quicktime "mash the e key" sequences without great warning so I couldn't tell if I was dying or if it was supposed to happen. You likely won't feel connected to any of the characters despite them being infatuated with you for some reason, I will admit I didn't read any of the journal entries you pick up throughout the game.
The Pros: The game incorporates modern game mechanics such as destructible doors which impressed me, a wide variety of guns though you won't have a whole lot of money to play around with if you play on survival like I did. This is one of the most atmospheric titles I've ever played, I felt like I was in the world, NPCs would have conversations as you walked through the many settlements established along the metro and you're encouraged to move slowly through this dangerous world filled with traps and deadly monsters. I liked the mask and air canister mechanics as well as how slow artyom is when handling guns, it keeps you from feeling super powerful and holds you in the tension that makes better survival horror games stand out. The game is short, I finished it in closer to 7 hours of gameplay and look forward to playing exodus. I enjoyed last light, this one was a stepping stone to that greater game and with how poorly this game performs I can't recommend people purchase it atleast on PC.

Great game with a great story. Enemies and characters have a great design, as well as the map. Is a unique concept, however the game is a little short, but it can be played multiple times to achieve both endings. Overall 8/10.

very nice game you get lost some times maybe because the lack of a radar , it was strange for about 2 acts the game was stuttering every 2-3 seconds and was making me fell sick but it stopped and i could finish the game

This game was honestly such a disappointment. I can not tell you how tedious the "cutscenes" and how much it wastes my time... The combat is alright but the gameplay loop really sucks. The setting is really cool but it's awful how often the games audio loops and repeats... Also, there's a game breaking bug at the end of this game that instant kills me. I can not stress this enough.... FUCK... THIS.... GAME!!!

Edit: Metro Last light is infinitely better! Skip this one, watch a summary, a and then go play that one!

I'm still in my first playthrough but I'm really enjoying it, I had multiple crashes while playing the game.

This has helped me a lot.

If you have a NVIDIA Card:

- NVIDIA Control Panel -> click Manage 3d settings -> Threaded Optimization -> ON

One of the best games on my list that can perfectly design an engaging environment and immersive atmosphere, making you feel like you’re truly in the game. Compared to modern games, the game might be a bit behind due to the technologies, but it's the best in its era.

In Metro 2033, you’re plunged into a brutal, post-apocalyptic world where surviving each day is a challenge. You’ll face terrifying mutants and desperate humans, battling not just monsters but the harsh reality of a life in ruins. Friends are rare and often lost too soon, leaving you with little time to grieve before you’re forced to move on. It’s a journey filled with danger and sacrifice, where every encounter is a reminder that survival isn’t just about fighting—it’s about holding on in a world that’s falling apart.

Definitely recommend if you are unfamiliar with the series, if you are looking for something new and interesting to play.

This game shines on story elements, characters feel real, and interesting weapon customization. Arcade shooting game versus realistic, not good or bad but feels a bit boring with the number of enemies on normal difficulty. Like I am chewing through a meat wall. Some stealth gameplay but it is forgiving and optional in many places.

Interesting resource management and weapon loadout and modification choices. Weapons found on enemies can be modded, so pickups of the same weapon you have may be straight upgrades or take a different role (weapon with silencer vs. weapon with long barrel for range). Mods are done at shops. You can also sell and trade-in weapons for discount on purchases.

Great linear good. I played it in its hardness difficulty and it was fair and rewarding. I really needed to think where to go, who to attack or not. I recommend

Phenomenal game series can't recommend it enough. If you've ever wanted to experience a post nuclear annihilation with varying factions of ideology and background with the regular mutant attacks thrown in Moscow, Russia of all places then this should be pretty appealing.

Metro is one of the best and most unique story mode games i have ever played... First time i played this game was in 2019... now its 2024 and i still play it 'till this day.. 2033 is my favourite.. Exodus and Last Light are awesome too but this one has so many nostalgia inside it.

Marvellous game. One piece of advice: pay attention to your eyes - mine hurt whenever I play this game for a long time. The steam 2 hr refund period is long enough to tell for sure. I honestly still play through the whole game even though my eyes hurt, so... great game, y'know. Same goes for Last Light.

At less than $7 for the whole series absolute yes it's worth it. Story of the fist two games maps and stories are a bit "on the rails" linear (pun intended) but are still great games.

Very immersive, good story, it started the Metro series, a classic.

Amazing game to an Outstanding Trilogy...
In this game you play as a charectar named Artrium, you are part of an elite team that was taken down by the mutants as you fight your way through the relentless world of them ensuring the safety of the people that are seeking shelter in the Metro. This is based off of the famous book that was published years ago and they made it into a game and they could not have done it any better. The player will be fully immersed in the game and on the edge of your seat the entire time.

100% worth the buy but I do recommend waiting for a sale due to the shelve life that this has been out for and have seen huge bundle deals on this game title in particular.

The game is very fun and the entire Idea of living in the Moscow metro is awesome and the creature design is very good 10 out of 10 would metro again

Cool story, a bit like Fallout but different.Gameplay is alright but its not perfect.As a whole, good game

One of my favorite game from late childhood. It has an excellent atmosphere and great gameplay experience.

Most of my mates played it and I know more people who wants to try but some of them suffer due to language barrier. Please add at least Turkish subtitles.
Gameplay is dragging and awesome. It requires you to actually use your intelligence rather than simply shooting everywhere.

Great game, almost best game i've ever played. The story is incredible it drags you into the scene, you become a part of metro almost too good to be real would recommend for sure

This game is unbelievably good i havent played the newer ones but if its like this i will be pleased th story is rich and i like the gun play if its on sale or you have spare money buy this game

Beautiful game about the dynamics of war and man, if you haven't played this game do it now. If you also haven't read any of the books, do it now. 10/10 would memory wipe myself to experience it again.

At first, this game felt a bit weird and old, especially if, like me, you played Metro Exodus before this one. However, I came to appreciate the game's unique atmosphere. With a well-executed horror sub-theme, some levels are quite tense on the first playthrough, making it a completely different experience from Metro Exodus.

Metro 2033 Redux is the remastered version of the first Metro game with enhanced visuals, and gameplay. As a remaster Metro Redux is by far the best way to play Metro 2033. 4A's efforts were a great success, and amplify the core aspects of the Metro Experience.

The reason why comes down to immersion. Arguably the most impressive part of the og Metro game was the atmosphere and environment, and the remaster exclusively focuses on improving these aspects, and the attention to detail can not be overlooked. Even in 2024 Metro Redux is beautiful, and really engrosses you in the setting. Combine that with nice touches like wiping your visor clear, pumping air into pneumatic weapons, or having UI elements implemented into the world. It just all adds up into an experience that makes the border of your computer screen and the game disappear.

Gameplay is the traditional linear action, semi survival experience. With difficultly options to tweak towards a more survival or action experience. I played through on the survival style on ranger mode, and in my opinion the best way to play metro. However both styles have their merit, and are fun in their own ways. Metro Redux doesn't add a lot to this element, besides for improvements made in the sequel such as responsiveness and better stealth. The only gripes I have are the Fov which you can fix in the files, and the vertical mouse sensitivity being slower than your horizontal. There was not a fix for this sense issue, and it was slightly annoying. Def not unplayable though.

Overall Metro 2033 Redux is a fantastic upgrade to the base game, and is by far the best way to experience to story of Metro. Truly a gem, and worth the asking price. 9/10 a must play!

Good thing I already beat this and last light multiple times when it was released on xbox because this version only runs for a couple mins then crashes. 0/10

This is such a good game, didnt expect to get into it but man was the story fun! One of the best games I have played on steam.

10/10 story and 10/10 world building

I like this game. Interesting game story, not bad graphic.

Soo i decided too try Metro again after an earlier attempt a few years ago, and i gotta admit it was a better experience playing it on my steamdeck.
the story was ok, but tbh i kinda struggled to follow along with why things were like they were. the fact the You characther dont speak outside of chapter trasitions also kinda took me out.

the gameplay, world, and setting however is rly nice and unique, and the main reason why i enjoyed it.

the steamdeck has one issue with the game, and thats view and aim sensetivety. even on max settings its slow,something that often annoyed me.

all in all, a good and entertaining game, but story lacks some soul and its short
3/6

A simulator for and average day of a slav. Claustrophobic corridors and nasty little buggers will have you rushin' to scavenge for ammo.

Get it? Russian?

Dark atmosphere with gameplay that still holds up. Truly scary at times and fun all the way through.

Having played the previous Metro game and loved it apart from the ending, this one I loved a lot more but still hated the ending! The last two chapters, D6 and Tower were just annoying and frustrating and they really ruined a superb game - D6 because you are confronted with multiple beasts you cannot kill and just have to run away from, and the Tower because at the end it was just stupid and pointless - and difficult.

Def. a fun game,great setting and story,14 Dark ones out of 17

Great game but it's an old game so expected some jank and unbalance section.
Gunplay feel ok your weapon are not effective which fit and evaluate the theme so well.
Atmosphere is shine here you feel tension and desperate almost all the time.
it's not too long either end after 10-15 hours for me is a good length for a singlaplayer game.

There are few things I can say about this game that haven't already been said, it's an excellent game, the setting is very well done and the gameplay is solid. Getting 100% of achievements was a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

An immersive, story-driven first-person shooter with an unusual setting — games like this have always been extremely rare.

Even with its linearity, it offers several ways to approach the same segments, and your gameplay decisions directly affect the game’s ending. I recommend playing all parts of the series in survival mode — not because it makes the game significantly harder, but because it encourages you to explore the environment more thoroughly and makes the shootouts much more engaging.

The plot isn't overly complex, but it’s filled with memorable characters and cool moments. This is why the game emphasizes its world-building. It goes to great lengths to make the world believable, from the detailed environments to the many optional conversations with NPCs, which are genuinely fascinating to listen to.

When choosing between the original version and the Redux, the latter is the obvious choice. The original had technical shortcomings, but Redux not only fixes those bugs and improves the graphics but also introduces gameplay changes that make the experience smoother. My only complaint with Redux is the inability to increase the resolution beyond Full HD.

Metro 2033 is a must-have entry point into an incredible series of games.
