Metro 2033 Redux

The game is so good and the story line is amazing. The graphics is amazing for 2014. I actually played this game in 2022 for free and only 2 years ago i bought this game in steam and never will feel bad about it, the game is nice. I almost finish the game but I saw a lot of videos how to finish it. Strongly recommend this game to anyone, especially to stalker lovers. And the main thing, Don't eat yellow snow... heheheh

Replaying the Redux of Metro 2033 in 2025.
Damn this game is good. It's up there with Half-Life.
Play this game at night, make sure you are alone at home and turn off the lights. Put on headphones, turn up the sound. You'll be there, post-apocalyptic Moscow metro tunnels and topside.
Basically everything about this game is excellent: environment, story, atmosphere: Redux graphics are insane at times, audio is immersive and creepy, dialogue is funny and deep, characters colorful, diverse weapons, etc etc.
I will be coming back to play this at higher difficulty..

Just finished Metro 2033 Redux and wow... what a ride. The atmosphere is insane - creepy areas (in the tunnels and the surface too), eerie sounds, and those sudden mutant attacks had me on edge the whole time. The story was surprisingly deep too, and Artyom’s journey stuck with me.

Gameplay feels tight, and the little survival mechanics (like wiping your gasmask or charging your flashlight) just add to the immersion. Honestly, if you're into story-driven shooters with a dark vibe, this one's totally worth it. Glad I finally played it.

Отличный сюжет , геймплей и сеттинг + отличная литература которую тоже стоит прочесть

Great story and a good quick bit of fun

Fine game, too much stealth, but you still can shoot sometimes.
Story is good enough, it wasn't boring, but after completing game I can't really recall most part of the game.

Random crashes made the game unplayable, I'd love to play this game.

Fantastic game. Very immersive post apocolyptical survival loot and shooter!

fun game, nice textures, good storyline. I liked it.

I was skeptical about diving into a game that originally launched 15 years ago—but it turned out to be an absolute masterpiece from a Ukrainian studio. The atmosphere is gripping, the visuals still hold up, the plot is compelling, and the combat is top-tier.

living and trying to survive in air-tight tunnels under a city that's been nuked with nobody able to go up to the surface due to the nuclear winter is a vibe

I ran out of ammo at the last chapter and managed to finish the game with 10 military grade ammo on my inventory.
got the bad ending

9/10 would never live in a place like metro

Happy 15th Anniversary my beloved franchise

Very cool and immersive experience. The story is great. It has some bugs, but they aren`t anything you cannot fix. Either way, I really recommend it and will definitely play the other games!

Basically rural Russia, but with tunnels

This game has a nice a soundtrack, immersive and depressing atmosphere, Bourbon and a deep story, set in a world that feels as lively, as it feels dead.

9/10

The Metro series has come a long way. The most immersive game series. Thank you for creating this wonderful universe and allowing us to truly feel the post-apocalyptic theme in our bones. Happy 15th Anniversary.

For the people getting the game for free rn, it's amazing.
The story, the gameplay, the characters just peak.

If you find the game good ohh boy just wait till you see metro last light and exodus

Metro 2033 Redux is a 64-bit remaster of the smash hit Metro 2033. The game is a first person shooter set in an apocalyptic environment following a nuclear war. The mutated monsters are also hard to stop so players need to be on their toes.

The game world is partially a dungeon crawler and part surviving in a radiation hazard outdoors. The level is detail is excellent which make this game demanding.

The game definitely is too demanding for most gaming laptops. Even the MSI Katana with mobile RTX 3070 runs hot playing this game. Best bet is an RTX 3080 or better for UHD gaming. This game uses PhysX which is used extensively in this game,.

This game is a master piece (for me) it has a semi-horror atmosphere the story is very good and the endings are great (Ranger ending). Very cool if you are a Metro fan

The story is good but the technical issues are far too glaring to enjoy this game especially on newer systems.
Constantly freezes, there are points where it has bricked by entire computer and i've had to pull the cord out of the wall to reset it.

Please fix this game

Great straightforward story. 2033 does not feel like it wastes your time. The game makes you actively choose the ending if you get the option for both, although that requires you to essentially play perfectly to reach the 50 morality point threshold; your actions matter more rather than a dialogue option like some other games may do.

Metro 2033 the game does a better job than the book in explaining why the dark ones may be actually good, albeit it still has the same issue where the dark ones actions is still hard to justify from the main characters point of view.

some achievements tend to be bugged at least for me, the good ending achievement may not trigger for you, and the incendiary grenades kills is also bugged.

stealth is simple making you feel good at stealth while not making it to difficult compared to the non redux version, where that makes stealth really annoying and unrewarding. librarians can be a bit unpredictable, but overall the game is really good.

Great game. Kept me on my toes all game in hardcore mode. A should buy.

Although the game is old, it's still quite good. It has a linear story progression, and most chapters feature different mechanics, which prevents the game from feeling repetitive or boring. While not every part, some sections were genuinely tense and suspenseful. I recommend it.

I wish I had known about Metro earlier. In 2025 playing a 2010 game is a great experience, and it's truly enjoyable and still fits perfectly to play in the present day.

I played 2033 not long after it originally came out in 2010, I still come back to play the OG and Redux every now and then. The beginning of a phenomenal trilogy that continues to delight every play-through. If you liked the story and setting of Fallout, but wished it could offer a more grounded approach to a nuclear post-apocalypse than the black comedy commentary on Americana and retro-futurism - this series is for you.

*Highly* Recommended.

Great story and amazing gameplay, I had so much fun. I never cared about badges but this is the first game I crafted a badge and maxed it also I cared enough to get all the achievements. I guess that's enough proof to say I am recommending it. I like that there are funny moments and sad too (bourbon). also scary moment. listening is actually important here lol. I didnt know one can walk on the ground under the bridge in frontline so i struggled doing the no kills achievement and i also didnt know i just had to stare at a librarian i just ran following the quest compass (tho the staring game doesnt work all the time). i also found out in last light i just have to use my flashlight to fight a spiderbug! imagine what i went through but those were the fun part lol. anyway, i genuinely like this game. now that ive finished it i'll be tryinh to get the achievements and badges for the continuation of metro story (last light) and then play exodus.

Pretty good game. I got frustrated trying to find the intended path though scripted scenes but overall a very great experience.

The game itself is great. I haven't finished it yet, but expect to in the future. The reason for a thumbs down is simply due to the fact that this game does not work with Steam cloud. If I had known that before purchasing, I would have not. If you advertise a game to work a certain way, people expect it to work like that. 99% of all other games do work with the steam cloud, so this is unacceptable.

Very good first-person shooter game with cool story and great characters

Buggy mess. Feels confusing and uncomfortable to play. I bought this at a very steep sale, and I'm still disappointed. I would rather just read the book at this point.

What can I say but all the best for this game and the franchise. Redux improves a lot on the original 2033 but loses some of its athmosphere along the way. But I still feel like this is the definitive way to play these games.

Best entry in the metro franchise.

An excellent game im sorry i didnt find it sooner, amazing atmosphere, setting and feel to it and a very good story and character cast. Controls were a bit clunky and had trouble figuring out where to go at times but these were minor infractions the overall experience was very good look forward to the next instalment. 8/10

You'll probably like this game if you enjoy wandering through levels, turning every single stone (and the game rewards you with ammo and equipment for paying attention to your surroundings), and immersive set pieces with strong atmosphere.

You'll probably dislike this game if you loathe a questionably minimalist interface, unexplained important mechanics that cause you to constantly pause the game to check which keys do what in the game options section, and more. It seems to me that this game was designed in such a way that the player has to go through a lot of trial and error to find out if something works or not, such as
- "Huh, what's the difference between this ammo and that one? Wait, I automatically bought it by left-clicking?"
- "Will I reach that ledge if I jump from here or not?" *slipped into the radiated river for the third time*
- "Oh no, a horde of monsters are chasing me! I'm going to run into that building- wait, I can't get in?" *died by five nosalises jumping on your back*

I will praise this game for the lively metro stations though, it's impressively detailed (considering the age of the game as of 2025) and very enjoyable to walk through as you hear people's stories, murmurs, complaints and kids playing around despite the depressing setting of the story. Also, some objects in the areas are interactive, which I personally like. All these little details make the metro stations feel alive.

What I don't like is the combat, the scarce ammunition, and how every monster encounter seems to intentionally make you use up almost all of your ammunition just to get by. Although you could argue that all this is there to immerse the player in this survival simulation, and I would agree to a certain extent.
Unfortunately, I keep thinking "I could be playing something else" as I fend off the nosalises running towards me, and wondering if this path I'm walking down will lead me to a dead end or not.

TL;DR
The game's technically decent, but it's just not my cup of tea. It's just not video game-y enough for me.
I think the mechanics and platforming are outdated, but the game still holds up as an immersive sim.

I like the overall game play and story up to where I had gotten but I'm stuck where the spirit of the kid in the train happens. It glitches and cannot continue to play from that point... I hope this would be fixed kinda bummed I can't finish the game... :l

"If it's hostile – you kill it."
Great game! I loved the atmospheric and enjoyable gameplay. The story is rich and really pulls you in – it’s not just about shooting your way through mutants, but also about survival, moral choices, and the haunting beauty of a world long gone.

The environments are stunning, especially for a game of its age. Dark metro tunnels lit only by your flashlight, eerie silence broken by distant growls... it's immersive as hell. The sound design and music help build constant tension, and when things go quiet, it’s somehow even scarier.

I played the Redux version and it ran super smoothly. Some mechanics feel a bit clunky, but honestly, it adds to the charm. If you enjoy atmospheric shooters with a deep narrative and post-apocalyptic vibes, this one’s a must.

Yes, BUT
Overall a good narrative and very decent graphics considering how old the game is.
You will be forced to explore the locations to survive on the Hardcore mode and that is a GOOD thing.
The possibilities are great. You can use stealth, brute force, long range weapons - take your pick and you will not be bored. The freedom of movement within a location is truly impressive. You can choose how to approach its exploration and walk through it in several different ways. I appreciate it very much as this is not the standard in recent games. Although the story is very linear freedom of movement gives the game decent replayability. Not to mention you have to choose different approach for different difficulties.
Localization is very good and I appreciate the effort. For Czech language it is a very commendable. But then again in year 2014 top notch locallizations were a must and I miss those times. Not only because I worked in that field before, but because it shows dedication and love for the game, not reducing it to a mere product.


The passage in the library is too slow. Prepare for more stealth and truly annoying experience.
Sniping here is simply cool and I enjoyed it so much.
Prepare to be low on ammo on higher difficulties - aim to the head is crucial.

Underrated survival horror game. I didn't care for Stalker, but this game was amazing.

Gameplay goated, story goated, characters goated, Nazi jokes goated - all in all 10/10 game, will be playing last light next.

Not even close to the masterpiece i was promised but the game's good, has a lot of issues with pc and accesibility, had to change the FOV manually and install a mouse fix cuz of motion sickness.

The story and the worldbuilding are really cool, the dialogues can be really bad tho, anyways, if u get it discounted and plan on playing the whole saga its a good game :)

Great game, was reading the book and decided to replay it, hours on steam are unfaithful i have played this game atleast 10 times off the xbox 360. I recommend this game at full price, so much love and care went into the world building and lore behind the scenes. they have infinite stories at their hands with how much lore of just the tunnels is there. now the game might be a little buggy, seems to be worse on AMD systems but just reload lmao fixes it every time

Well made immersive post-apocalyptic game. Some chapters are quite annoying when you get stuck because of weirdly built maps.

Metro, my beloved. My favorite series of games. Wish Awakening would come to keyboard and mouse. I was really nostalgic with 2033 after not playing it for 10 years... but holy shit. Coming back to this made me finish Last Light and I'm hoping to start Exodus soon as well. Just beautiful and euphoric.

The first game that nails the dreaded, claustrophobic vibe of the dark underground metros. The areas are so dark, disgusting and frightening!
The monsters are all so beautifully designed (apart from these weird floating water balls... -1 point)
But as usually, humans are the most dangerous enemy~ well not really tbh. The AI isnt the smartest tbh.
What really is compelling is the story and its characters! You will carry your ass clenching while playing through it guaranteed.
I recommend you to play this game on survival and its hardest difficulty. Dont worry, its honestly not hard at all. And for my likings, you will always have WAAAAY more than enough resources. Especially if you just explore a tiny bit.
If I have one BIG problem with the game then it is for one that this game is old and it shows. I had many startup problems, the game wasnt running in my native resolution and the fix was not that easy.
The second problem is that The "good" ending... is not that simple to achieve. It is not by not shooting the dark one at the end, like any game would do it. You have to WORK to earn it. Refusing rewards, killing as few humans as possible and giving away stuff to the poor. That is a big problem for me tbh.
But I can tell you to give the stuff away. Trust me you will have way more than enough anyways. Dont do my mistake lol

Conclusion:

Gud game

One of the best FPS ever. Spooky, fun to play and immensely atmospheric. A fantastic adaptation of the book!

this game was the first metro i played in this series, and I have to say, I had a great time with it. After finishing the game and finishing all the achievements, I really enjoyed the gameplay. The atmosphere is amazing, with a tense post-apocalyptic world and solid mechanics that make the survival and combat feel intense. That said, the story left me a bit confused at times—some parts felt forced or rushed, and I’m not sure if that’s because of differences from the original novel. Even with those story hiccups, I still found the game really fun and rewarding.

Big thanks to the developers for making such a memorable experience!

It is one of the best game i have ever played.

Really very short game. The story, atmosphere, music, Characters everything was perfect.
Must try.

5/5

Love the STALKER games and hardcore post apocalyptic genre and this is a good start on linear storytelling with a rich worldbuilding and atmosphere!

Way better playable than the original version. This felt now more like a modern game as I remember the old version had its issues. The story is still great and plays very well. I have read the books and it follows the story nicely.

Metro 2033 Redux, kitaplarını okumuş biri olarak, o karanlık atmosferi ve dünyayı çok iyi yansıttığını düşünüyorum. Nükleer felaket sonrası Moskova’nın metro tünellerinde hayatta kalmaya çalışıyorsun ve her şey çok tehlikeli. Cephane sınırlı, gaz maskesi kullanmak gerekiyor ve ortamın her köşesinde bir tehlike seni bekliyor.
Karanlık bir hikaye, gerilim ve hayatta kalma oyunları seviyorsan, kesinlikle denenmeli. Ama hızlı aksiyon bekliyorsan, biraz ağır gelebilir.

pretty good, though had do disable physx to prevent most crashes, even still theres like a 30/70 chance of one happening...

also night vision not working was pretty funny
