    Very easy going, super immersive, fun first person shooter. The game holds your hand, but there is still a lot of stuff you can miss, including an alternate ending!

    The world and the story pull you in harder than almost any other game, meanwhile the gameplay and content makes sure you enjoy the experience and feel in tune with the plot. A true must-play.

One way that it could have been improved would have been simply sticking closer to the novel in some ways. It still could have been a good game albeit more of a horror adventure game than a shooter. The book captured the feel of the metro much better and took more time in each station where the game seemed more interested in adding in action at every opportunity than story details. The action itself was fun, don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed the firefights; upgrading various weapons; and managing air on the surface. My favourite level was the Ghosts level as it had the closest ambience to the novel. I didn’t enjoy the level with the Fourth Reich mainly because the level design felt too maze like. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the Library level because of the way the Librarian AI was designed. You are supposed to stop and stare them in the eye for them to not attack you and sometimes this worked but other times it didn’t work at all. When it worked it was a good tense level but that wasn’t the case often enough. The graphics were well done overall. The clothing; cobwebs; and animals were great. The object detail; fire; and facial detail was decent but the hair was pretty poor. The game also had great detail on your gas mask such as bugs crawling around it or it getting a bit foggy with sweat. I wish the game had a listing of your current objective. It gives you a compass telling you where to go but no listing of what to do once there. Sometimes this is obvious but other times it would have been helpful. I did like how the game allows you to customize what kind of experience you want by choosing not only your difficulty level but also giving you the option of the Spartan style of play which means less resource management.

    I tried to play on Linux but the Linux version was broken beyond use for me. The game was missing various options in the menu such as tessellation; as well as it ran at 30 FPS or below regardless of graphical detail selected. I tried on two separate systems and had the same result. I ended up playing the game using Valve’s Proton. This is how I know that the options menu lacked several options. Even on the Windows version there some issues such as V-Sync limiting your FPS to 60 instead of recognizing higher refresh rate monitors. Alt-tab worked on Windows but not on the Linux version. You can pause cut scenes but not skip them. You also have to wait during the intro videos to be able to skip them, you can’t do so right away even if you have already been playing the game a while. You can’t change the game difficulty after starting the game. The game saves at checkpoints and there is only one save slot. The performance on the Windows version was great. There were a couple glitches I encountered such as enemies clipping in doors as well as one occasion where I had defeated all the enemies in a room but my AI comrades wouldn’t advance any further making me unable to progress. I had to reload the checkpoint; clear the room again and then they moved normally. On the Windows version the game had 5 SSAA settings; 2 AF settings; a V-Sync toggle and 3 other graphics options.

    Game Engine: 4A Engine
    Graphics API: DXVK
    Disk Space Used: 7.81 GB

    Graphics Settings: Very High; 0.5 SSAA; 16x AF; blur off; V-Sync off; Tessellation Very High
    GPU Usage: 7-100 %
    VRAM Usage: 1488-2388 MB
    CPU Usage: 22-43 %
    RAM Usage: 3.5-4.0 GB
    Frame Rate: 95-232 FPS

    There was a good game here that I enjoyed but there were several ways it could have improved. The Linux version needs a lot of work for one. There is no excuse why Linux users lack the same options as Windows and even on the Windows version things like V-Sync capping your frame rate to 60 FPS is unacceptable. I read the novel right before playing the game and I have to say that while I prefer the novel’s atmosphere and story more the game is fine in it’s own right. I finished my play through on the normal difficulty of Spartan mode in 6 hours and 52 minutes. I would say the current price of $21.99 CAD is fair but that’s about the top end I would pay for it.

    In addition to that game play is smooth. Maybe stealth kills look a bit premature and sometimes it hard where to go in the map but other than that everything feels right.
    A couple words for graphics: With new 4A Engine, Metro 2033 Redux shines. If you have PC to handle higher settings. you will find yourself playing one of the most beautiful looking post apocalyptic game ever created.
    So Without doubt Metro 2033 Redux is one of the best game of 2014.

    A rather solid shooter. A bit gray but I guess it's because of the setting and nothing can be done about it. The weapons feel very responsive. The UI is a bit of lacking and confusing. You do get used to it and it does help out with immersion - you have no idea how much health you have, the character starts coughing and chocking when needs a gas mas or to switch filter.

    Shooting people is very nice, monsters not so much but that might be just personal preference. The story is ok - not really captivating but not terrible - but fits the general atmosphere of the game and the setting. Some cut-scenes could have been avoided. The finishing sequence is also the only thing not fitting the whole setting.

    Overall I enjoyed the game. Jumped a couple of times as well. Disliked a couple of areas and really liked others.    … Expand

    The story is incredibly deep and well-written, and the atmosphere and realism are top-notch. You won't find many gimmicks in this game like you will in other games.

It's hard to describe the game because it's one of those games that you have to experience for yourself to understand how great it is.

    The game comes with various difficulties and playstyles for you to fine-tune your experience. I personally played on Survivor Mode at Normal difficulty, but I think you can increase the realism further by playing on a harder difficulty.

    The game easily deserves at least an 8, which is only weighed down by the ever-so-slightly-simplified gameplay, somewhat short length, and some glitches here and there. It's definitely a game all shooter fans should add to their repertoire.    … Expand

    7/10 because i experienced some bugs in the game. If i would not have had bugs then a solid 8/10 or even 9/10. This is a story driven atmospheric slow paced sneaky shooter. In a way if brings the mind to half life 2 even if it cant measure up to it fully. Characters are well done but a bit quickly discarded. But it makes sense since you are sneaking around in the subway tunnels of Moscow.

Making what was a prodigious game even better; first by making the game less Unstable, and making it more streamlined in its new game engine (where the original Metro 2033 still struggles to run smoothly on modern systems due to its un-streamlined game engine of the time). It also fixes the middle of the game ‘game breaking’ bug, in which you would be shot off the map when the player fell off the rail cart, requiring multiple reloads to fix (which was never patched in the original).

    Along with all these improvements it also adds the great things from Last Light, such as the weapon customization and modernized weapon aiming, gunplay and control layout! This also includes bringing improved textures including for the character and enemy models from Last Light (which is a nice touch).

    All while allowing you to play in the original Metro 2033 style of resource and ammo management, or you can play in a more action oriented fashion with Last Light's game style, In Redux both play styles are accommodated. Along with Ranger difficulty; which make you and your enemy’s more dangerous (something really never in other games like Call of Duty where the enemy is just more accurate).

    All and all Metro 2033 is a classic (Mystery, Horror, Resource Management, Story Driven, Shooter) all of which I would express are done superbly. I have a great passion for the original Metro 2033 game when it released along with the Book Series, and this ‘Re-master’ makes it all for the better and improved! Metro 2033’s dark post-apocalyptic setting in the Moscow Metro is like a character in its self, and gives the game and it characters a great atmosphere. Highly recommended to try it out and find out why so many people love this series!

    Pros: Story, Gunplay, Weapon Selection, Multiple ‘True’ difficulty settings (Play as you want to!)

    Cons: Human Enemy AI (Is sometimes respectable sometimes not so much)

    Middle: Linear Story Driven Game (Not recommend for those who love endless open world experiences)    … Expand

    The theme of the Moscow Metro is revealed beautifully.
    The game is very atmospheric, diverse in gameplay, dynamic skirmishes with bandits at the stations are replaced by dark "tangled" tunnels, along the way we get acquainted with the far from sweet life of people in the post-apocalyptic world.

    The game is very atmospheric, diverse in gameplay, dynamic skirmishes with bandits at the stations are replaced by dark "tangled" tunnels, along the way we get acquainted with the far from sweet life of people in the post-apocalyptic world.
    I now, not even about the constant attacks of mutated monsters on human settlements, but about a simple everyday life in which people live in a room consisting of one bed and only, and the children play with all sorts of rubbish or hammers.
    Each character at the station has his own story behind his soul, his own thoughts, feelings.
    Gameplay: I liked the attitude of the developers to the details. I really feel how they emphasized realism. The weapon is interesting and original, not very much, and you can only carry 3 small arms and 2 missile weapons with you, plus a knuckle-knife. There is no automatic reloading, if the last cartridge in the clip went into the barrel, wait for the misfire. Ammo is always small. Another interesting point is the powder smoke from the shot that obscures the view, which makes it difficult to make a subsequent shot, and it's cool. All enemies wear helmets, and more than half also wear gas masks. Therefore, you can kill such with a single shot right on the neck, side or back. Well, or knocking down this helmet first. But then the enemies will sound the alarm. Sometimes they will let you shoot with an easel machine gun and a flamethrower, a pleasant trifle.
    As of 2014, I want to note the following advantages of the game: + Storey Line. Excellent, dynamic, moderately mysterious, storyline, on behalf of a person who lived his whole life underground in the subway.
    + Atmosphere. Metro and darkness. Apocalypse and hopelessness. Devastation and survival.
    + Gameplay. Skirmishes with human enemies are interesting. It is also possible to complete stealth levels. Enemies do not shine with a special variety, people, mutants. There is a certain variety in the methods of killing opponents. I really liked the use of cartridges as a currency. The presence of a limited duration of the gas mask. Powder smoke from a shot obscures the view. Dynamo machine for charging a flashlight and night vision device.
    + Artificial intelligence. Enemies are accurate, use cover, and throw Artem grenades.
    + Picture. Photographic, high-quality textures are pleasing to the eye.
    + Physics. Items in the game behave like in life. Mostly. And the overall picture is not spoiled.
    + Optimization is good. The game does not crash. But he eats resources extremely, and sags on the “qualifier”.
    Of the minuses are present:
    -The game is too short.
    -Linear. No freedom of action and side tasks. - A stupid save system based on individual save points.
    As a result, we get a pleasant, well-developed first-person shooter, with the possibility of repeated passage, to get an alternative ending and better assimilation of the plot. A game with a great atmosphere and an interesting plot.    … Expand

    Anni fa avevo iniziato ma poi abbandonato, senza un reale motivo, Metro 2033 originale. Tornata la voglia ho deciso di giocare alla versione Redux, visto che consiste quasi solo in un miglioramento grafico.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Colonna sonora perfetta che alterna brani cupi (bellissimo quello all'avvio del gioco ad esempio) ad altri allegri e vintage, come a far capire che la gente usa la musica per tirarsi su di morale.
    Dialoghi e doppiaggio non eccellenti ma buoni (anche in italiano) ed effetti sonori buoni, pure con un'ottima stereofonia che aiuta in certi momenti.

    Graficamente invece il gioco si presenta più moderno del Metro 2033 originale ma non per forza migliore in quanto questo forse era più "piatto" e cupo.
    In ogni caso il gioco è piacevole da vedere ma si capisce che è ormai di qualche anno fa, soprattutto nelle animazioni e alcuni oggetti dell'ambiente. Ben curate invece le armi.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Il gioco si presenta come un FPS con qualche elemento survival, stealth ed RPG, ma anche con tanti elementi caratteristici.

    Il gioco è diviso in capitoli e missioni, ma il nostro personaggio evolverà lungo l'intera storia potendo cambiare e personalizzare il proprio equipaggiamento, oltre a compiere qualche scelta di trama.

    Il gameplay sarà invece molto influenzato dall'ambiente in cui ci troviamo, visto che all'aria aperta saremo obbligati ad indossare una maschera antigas (con il rischio di finire i filtri o di rompere il vetro della maschera) mentre nel sottosuolo potremo vivere senza (ma stando attenti ad altre cose).

    L'unico aspetto che non mi ha convinto appieno è che nonostante sia presente un buon quantitativo di armi, alcune delle quali estremamente affascinanti, finiremo per usarne poche, visto che alcune garantiscono poche munizioni o costano troppo, prediligendo invece le armi più comuni. Non essendo presenti troppi soldi nel gioco è meglio spenderli per munizioni, filtri, medikit e granate piuttosto che per nuove armi, senza dimenticare la possibilità di personalizzare le armi in proprio possesso.

    Infine c'è da dire come il looting sia uno degli elementi principali del gioco, in quanto dovremo saccheggiare i corpi e rovistare in ogni angolo della mappa per trovare munizioni, filtri e altri oggetti fondamentali per sopravvivere. A volte sono presenti anche dei "segreti", in quanto alcune zone sono volutamente ben nascoste oppure necessitano di una chiave per poterci accedere.

    STORIA:
    Il gioco è abbastanza breve, io l'ho finito in circa 10 ore ma sono molto meticoloso nell'esplorazione.
    Nonostante la brevità però si riesce ad entrare abbastanza bene in una realtà post-apocalittica molto ben strutturata e pensata (non a caso il gioco è tratto da un libro).

    La trama base è semplice, bisogna sopravvivere ed aiutare la popolazione che si è rifugiata nella metropolitana di Mosca, ma questo porta a situazioni piuttosto interessanti, anche se forse in troppo rapida successione.

    Mi fa davvero impazzire come la moneta del gioco siano i proiettili "buoni", ormai rari e quindi di valore, così come i nomi e l'aspetto delle armi realizzate all'interno della Metro utilizzando rottami.

    L'unico aspetto che può confondere è puramente collegato al quel "2033" presente nel nome, in quanto l'ambiente in cui ci si trova sembra più di qualche anno fa o al massimo contemporaneo più che futuristico (che per me è un pregio, ma il nome può sviare).

    Per concludere, Metro 2033 è un gioco adatto ad un pubblico vastissimo, in quanto unisce velocità e divertimento ad una buona storia, una bellissima ambientazione e alcune meccaniche uniche. Inoltre essendo piuttosto breve non risulta essere particolarmente impegnativo da finire (a meno che non lo si giochi a difficoltà alte).

    Metro 2033 was a flawed, but good game. The Redux does a wonderful job of taking away those flaws while also updating the graphics, leaving us with a game that is great and feels modern despite its 4 1/2 year old underpinnings.. It is a shame that being a "remake" of a cult (i.e. not super popular) game it didn't get the press/critic coverage that it deserved.

    - Go into your Metro directory folder in steam and find the video folder (wherever it was downloaded, something along the lines of /SteamApps/common/Metro 2033 Redux/2033/ or /SteamApps/common/Metro Last Light Redux/)

    - Delete the file named "intro.ogv" (without the quotations)

    I can't understand why people like this game. 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.

    The gameplay and atmosphere are top notch, but the audio side, especially the voice acting is quite underwhelming, when there are only like 5 voice actors with made-up accents voice acting every character in the game.

    Had some problems, though. At one point (the battle between the Reds and the Nazis) when I got into the Nazi area, all the soldiers were animated - but there were rooted to the spot and completely unable to engage in combat.

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.

    Metro 2033 Redux still has annoying bugs like NPCs getting stuck and auto save in locations where you can't get out. And sometimes you die, because your gas filter runs out during a cut scene... right after the game autosaved.

    The game is great at its core, but all this crap in an "improved" version is absolutely unacceptable. Quality assurance and testing for this game have completely failed.

    I got to Lost tunnels followed Bourbon and he's turning the wheel to open a gate and all of a sudden I get weird cutscenes and my character falls to the ground gasping and dies, think it's something to do with the gas mask and then reload from last checkpoint and the same thing happens, Iam stuck. This is frustrating and annoying as it reloads just before I die and I can't do anything to fix it as you only get one reload checkpoint.

    Very atmospheric post-apocalyptic first person shooter and quite scary as you navigate the tunnels of the underground Metro of Moscow.

Overall, Redux presents itself in a way that makes the original seem like an unpolished, early access. At first, I felt like the devs were trying to milk their customers by reselling the game with a few tweaks, but after trying out a pirated copy for an hour, I see that they deserve my money. It's a proper remaster. The original already had a great story, amazing graphics, and unique gameplay. Redux is an improvement worthy of $25, especially if you've never played the original. On the PC version you can increase the FOV via config file, while on console you can't touch it. My largest complaint about Redux is the lens flares. I'm tired of this trend where the character's eyes are treated like a camera. Afaik there isn't a way to disable them. I appreciate the beefed-up graphics, but I hate unnecessary effects, like the moon in the prologue. I've found another unnecessary change... The part where a guy on the rails was about to get hit by a cart but dodged it because someone whistled at him, then everyone laughed. Sucks that it got taken out in Redux. It confuses me why it was taken out, buuuuut okay then. The rest of the game seems promising. I'll buy it asap. Money is stupidly tight for me right now.… Expand

    I think if you want a true experience of this title buy all the three books and read them. Priceless entertainment as a post-apocalyptic writing.

    As a post-apocalyptic FPS this is a good game, but it fails to truly capture all the great depths of the books. The atmosphere is quite alright, the graphics are great, the sounds/voices also, the controls are perfectly fine.
    There are some bugs, yeah, as usual with the majority of PC games, no matter how many patches were released...
    But again, the book screams for RPG adaptation.    … Expand

    The original 2033 was already a great game but the redux version gives it a newer graphical and interface overhaul. This is the way reduxs are supposed to be made. With the additional content, veteran players should have no problems with experiencing a great game all over again. It has lots of re-playability.

    I'm not kidding if I say I found just 4 minor flaws on the entire game (excluding gameplay, style and other subjective things each player may like, love or hate) which are:
    > quite slow loading times (played on a SSD disk, so can't imagine that on old disks)
    > surface "levels" have often a lot of "secrets" which would be nice if you didn't have limited time (especially on survival, sneaking around, waiting for openings), not to mention that sometimes you can't say if you're going after a "secret" or the actual end of the level
    > 3D speech sound is kinda "faulty" (at least it is on linux) to a point you almost can't ear someone talking to you if you're facing the opposite direction
    > monster spawns are sometimes "triggered", meaning that as soon as you do something a couple of monsters spawns behind you.

    This... these are the only objective flaws I was able to find on this title, everything else is pure gold.
    Gorgeous graphics and concept art, good and fitting music, a plot that is just as simple as it is amazing, extremely good work depicting characters personalities with just a few "hints"

    I would also like to point out that the game has a VERY good graphical engine and not only I was able to get ~20% more avg fps than, for example, Bioshock Infinite (both at maximum settings) but Metro 2033 Redux NEVER stuttered, like never EVER.

    Finally there's one thing I'd like to write about just because, as funny as it sounds, prevented me to play this title for almost an year; (on linux) if I kept my USB Arcade Stick plugged, Metro fps were locked to 11~13 meaning it was totally unplayable, once I unplugged the stick, I got 70 fps on the benchmark...    … Expand

В «Метро» этот уровень исполнения можно назвать очень качественным и хорошим.
    Игра держит за счёт отличного дизайна (это первое, что бросается в глаза), красивой графики (за исключением одинаковых моделек людей и мелких багов), а также неплохого сценария, который поднимает философские вопросы: необходимость объединения людей в беспрецедентной ситуации и, наверное, невозможность осуществления сего действия (всё-равно образовываются свои мини-государства, группировки, так сказать, по интересам и пр.); также ещё, например, вопрос, касающийся контакта с «другими», отличными от человека мыслящими существами; ну и, конечно, в игре критикуются нацисты и коммунисты. Перечисленные вопросы и критика мне не показались раскрытыми достаточно хорошо, но это определённо плюс, что такое здесь присутствует.
    Играть же во всё это интересно. Перестрелки и стелс не надоедают, возможно, потому что они чередуются с «мирными» этапами, в которых мы можем спокойно послушать местные диалоги, выпить в баре, купить патроны и оружие. Когда я впервые бродил среди этих людей, занятых своими делами, болтающих о том о сём, я очень сильно погружался в здешнюю атмосферу. К сожалению, это чувство ближе к концу игры ослабевало, но тем не менее продолжало присутствовать. Вообще первые 30 минут игры для меня были каким-то откровением, я пророчил игре статус шедевра, но по итогу могу сказать, что я испытал умеренные и приятные чувства.

    Incredible game. Not perfect because the AI is very bad. But the journey is incredible. You are playing into a story, not into a game. And you live all the feelings of the characters that appear in your way. I really think that "The last of us" was very inspired in this game.

    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.
