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. ;)

    A must have in your game collection for those familiar to the franchise and new comers. Excellent visuals, exciting gameplay and a down right MUST HAVE! Such a great price, even for a remake. The user score speaks for itself (in this case).

    As a gamer, I really can't see a missing thing in this remake.I played the original game when it was first released.It wanted to make me play it even though it was poorly optimized and really bad in terms of stealth action.And although I played it on medium difficulty back then, the atmosphere which made me felt really alone, difficult shoot-outs , scary moments were so good.

    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.

    P.S. If anyone's experiencing problems with starting either Metro Redux game (such as SethroFives' issue, where it crashes at the very beginning of the game), then follow the next few steps:

    This is the fix I used to solve the issue:

    - 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)

    - Open notepad and save it as "intro.ogv" (without quotations)

    - Save the intro.ogv file you just made into those same folders the old intro.ogv files used to be in

    - Run the game. It should run without any more issue regarding crashes at the beginning of the game    … Expand

    Excellent graphics of its year, a deep and strong atmosphere, an interesting plot and characters. The game captures not from the first moment, but the further you go, the more you understand that you want to go without the game from the beginning to the very end. And this music...

    Metro 2033 has the best atmosphere and a good story.Though it is clumsy when u control your chara.The last phase and metro world attract me because of the first-person perspective and the depressive scene.

    This is exactly what the original 2010 game was supposed to look like! I did not see a single bug, some pluses: a diary in which Ch. the hero is going through the chapters passed (though I have not found everything), weapon tuning, a couple of new monsters, more traced character models and a bunch of other little things. In general, I personally advise you to go through redux. In this version, stealth is much more enjoyable than in the 2010 version, where you are sometimes seen through the walls. By the way, in this version I had the opportunity to go through an alternative ending, unlike the original, although the style of the game was identical.    … Expand

    I love this game! Locations with many people why try to survive in this hell. We can feel their pain and their misery. This game is better in russian because the characters use russians slangs and expressions. Unfortunately people can't translate this to another language.

    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.
