    A valuable remake that makes the original Metro feel complete on PC.

    This is the finest available version of an excellent, atmospheric game. It's still not perfect, but the Redux version irons out a significant number of weaknesses, adding some of Last Light's improved mechanics while also providing a welcome layer of visual polish.

    One of the most atmospheric and immersive first person shooters of recent years becomes even better, by enriching its gameplay, normalizing its performance and enhancing its graphics, with the use of the latest 4A engine features. Its main disadvantage is the discontinuation of price discount for those who already own the original Metro 2033 upon official release.

    Metro 2033 Redux is remaking done right. This isn’t a cash in in any way shape or form. It’s simply a much better version of the original Metro. It’s a perfect purchase for either newbies who haven’t experienced the first game, or vets who want to experience the game again in a brand new light.

Hopefully those of you who are unable to get in have a patch coming your way soon. Everything looks so much better then i could have imagined after only having seen screenshots before I bought the game. Regardless of how much brighter the underworld is then the original the Librarian sequence is and I swear to god just as scary if not scarier then the original. I have a pretty sweet asus sound card for my Sennheiser HD 598 head phones. The sounds in this game are so creepy at times that I had to take my headphones off and switch over to my speakers. This was due to i was jumping and turning around way to often like a **** The audio bump from Metro 2033 to Redux is amazing although it does take a decent open ear headset with a soundcard to truly enjoy. My daughter walking on squeaky floorboards above me was often mistaken for in game sound that's how unbelievably clear it is. Most scenes are startling however this game does throw you into a ton of run for your life moments especially in the harder difficulties on Survival mode. Survival mode really does make you think hard about your weapon setups which to me adds a whole new level of tension. Out of ammo = run and hope u can get to the next objective which happened to me frequently LOL. I will totally RLTW again with Ranger difficulty on Spartan mode. 11/10 for doing such a good job resurrecting one kick ♥♥♥ game.

    Avoid bushes in combat they are too OP. ;)

    To all of you out there posting negative reviews due to crashing or bugs without posting system specs and OS you are not helping any one.

I prefer games that actually lets me play them. In this game you're probably going to be confused for one half of the game and not in control of your character the other half of the game. An interactive novel with a light FPS mini-game? If that's your cup of tea, go ahead. I don't enjoy it. Full Review »

This game doesn't work for my PC, or quite a few other PCs for that matter. On paper, I should be able to run this software with no issue, but it crashes immediately. Hoping to play a highly regarded game, redone for a decent price. They've had plenty of time to address these issues. Not impressed. Full Review »
