    Terrible gameplay. Full of bugs. I got stuck halfway through ("Nightfall" episode) on normal mode. Had to quit. Game got frozen (several times). I also had no air filters by that point. And I couldn't backtrack because the game checkpoints you at will. And this is the "Redux" edition? I won't ever buy another game by 4A Games.

    terrible level design and gameplay that actually makes COD look like a better franchise. Also the crappy moral system, literally didnt kill anyone unless in forced combat situations, sparred Pavel and lesnitsky, gave to beggar and kid yet I got the bad ending. One of the most terrible system to exist in games

    Like it's predecessor, it's a great game.

    Just as 2033 thi game in my opinion is boring, boring gameplay, again there is not much to explore around, same not so special weapons and not so great fps feeling, that feeling when you shoot, just don't feel it in this game, performance on pc worse than non-redux version so no idea what happend there, game is not good. Not recommended!

    Combat is boring, the story isn't special, and worst of all the company tries to hide from criticism.

    I really have no idea why a game with such terrible design and gameplay is even popular. One of the worst games I have ever played

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an extremely linear game, and on balance I would only recommend it if you are okay with that linearity, don't mind cop-out gameplay mechanics along the lines of "mash 'e' to deal with threat", and find the dystopian Russian setting exciting, as its story, gameplay, and overall quality weren't at all satisfying for me. Personally, I had more fun writing this review.

    I found the dialogue uninteresting and the level, sound, and monster design bland and repetitive. Player movement is clunky. Enemies, both human and monster, lack variation in behaviour, with human enemies largely standing still and shooting non-stop, or just advancing towards you with no regard for getting hurt. The most common monster will leap or run towards you and then jump up and down in place, often missing you completely as it swings its arms in a way that looks a bit ridiculous.

    Several segments involve accompanying/following NPCs and you are forced to match their slow pace of movement and listen to their uninspiring dialogue. Some levels are 'on rails', where the player is driven by NPCs while enemies appear for you to dispatch. This is ok in theory but there are entire levels where you don't actually have to fire your weapon, and the enemies pose no threat despite shooting at you constantly. There are many occasions where normal gameplay is interrupted by scripted threats and you are tasked with mashing a key to resolve the situation, or sometimes just watching as the scene unfolds without your input. These mechanics are found in many games, but that doesn't make this one any better for resorting to them.

    The voice acting and animation are just ok. Music is forgettable and often feels out of place. Graphics are good for their time but not amazing, and very clearly dated nowadays. Visual bugs are quite common, ranging from minor texture flicker to the player's gas mask clearly still being on during a cutscene where characters around are talking about you not wearing one. The overall atmosphere is not at all tense, as enemy placement is extremely predictable. For me it felt like a straight FPS with a dystopian setting rather than the survival horror game it is slated to be. I got it on sale for £3.77 ($5) and still didn't find it worth the price.    … Expand

    Super lineal game with a disappointing story and ending.
    Graphics and animations are quite bad.
    Most of the game you're in stealth but not so many stealth mechanics were developed, just don't stay in the light feature. You can't move corpses, the NPCs AI is not well implemented to patrol, search, ... NPCs can see you from 1 km away, no killing animations. The monsters are bullet sponges    Super lineal game with a disappointing story and ending.

    The monsters are bullet sponges at the point that you doubt if you really can kill them. Even worse because some are really immortal and you never know.
    No information at all about the weapons. No stats, or something to compare weapons and know wich one is better. You need to realize about the mods by sight in a small draw were you can barely differentiate a silencer from an extended cannon.
    No weapon names being shown, so you don't really know what you're picking up, and some weapons are too similar to realize it.
    Completely broken morale system. Having different endings based not in your decisions but in random events like listening NPCs conversations when the game doesn't teach you about this system is just stupid.
    The only good point is the immersion. Small details like the lighter, compass, watch and gas mask implementation makes you feel like you're there and need to use real gadgets to do your job.    … Expand

    Whatever difficulty you think you can handle, set it lower, this game is mostly playable on the difficulty you think you can handle, except there are certain segments that will suddenly be 100 times harder than anything before it and you'll just have to completely restart the game to fix the difficulty because there's no real way to change even from the main menu.

    The moral system. The fking moral system. You see thats where the trouble began. Apart from the game being already boring, you are expected to waste hours listening to stupid npc convos just to get a good ending. Way to make people forcefully take interest in your boring world 4A

Imagine this: a maze, where you don't know where to go, where the exit is, and try to sneak past 50 fully armored units with shotgun. Good luck fam. And the game is filled with these situations.

The plot is drawn out, catchy only sometimes, and the main cherry on the cake of this plot is Artyom, apparently with mental disabilities, who cannot speak. The case in the game of impotence of the screenwriter is wildly annoying, there were moments when he definitely should speak, but he, like an amoeba, does nothing. We forgive the game for a doll that makes several sounds throughout the game. In general, this is horror, not a game.

    If someone owns Metro: Last Light, there's absolutely no reason to buy the Redux version. Graphically its the very same game, while the DLC content and the Survival/Spartan mode are not enough to justify this new release and the 20 euros price, even with the differentiation the later offers to the gameplay. On the other hand, whoever hasn't played the original game yet, has another good reason to do it now.

    The game becomes much more of a survival-horror title with the new available options, and if you’re new you can try both styles and decide for yourself. Otherwise, there’s really no reason to prefer the original over this remastering.
