    I did play both original Metro's on console and in pc, on console I must say that 2033 looked crapy, but now even for a pc, the game looks amazing. Nothing is done wrong, Metro is after all given what Dimity's story deserves. A4 did an amazing good looking game with a awesome game play. Both redux games are worth getting.

    Great graphics, great characters, great story, great remake. I highly recommend this to anyone who played the original Metro 2033. The only things that I'am unsatisfied with are the monster skins they just don't look as scary as they did in in the original Metro 2033. Prototype 2 had a similar problem with the hunter skins. Just wanted to point that out DEVELOPERS! it ruins the immersion.

    The original Metro 2033 was, and still is, a monster. You need a really powerful rig to run. Redux is lighter and runs better. Additionally it also adds gameplay improvements which fixes the clunky gun mechanics of the original.

Many features from Last Light is added to 2033, like stealth kill etc., many new locations, less loading screen too. There is also some new gameplay modes, adding different experience to the entire game. The game is not overpriced. $25 for each or $50 for both and even 50% off if you already own the original version of 2033 and Last Light (even though I want a free upgrade), way cheaper than other remastered game currently out in the market. If you are new to the franchise, or are a fan of single player first-person shooter and post-apocalypse setting, it is a must buy, if you have already played the 2 game already, it deserves you to purchase again. But why this game only scored a 8/10 is because that the world are currently overflowing with remastered game. I don't like that and I don't encourage that. Even though I enjoy Metro Redux, this situation needs to stop or slow down. And also, changes is Metro Last Light is not really significant. Therefore, I recommend you to buy 2033 only.… Expand

But Final Fantasy at least lasts for many hours and gives you more choices, this is just a tedious run of the mill shooter that and in a few hours.

    The story is also nothing special, despite depending on books. I don't want to say that the books are bad and i have never read them, but i suppose most of the allure of the books is about the world and the setting, and not about the adventures of Artyom.

    In the end, it is worth a playthrough if you can find it on a low price, but you will never touch this again after you finish it.    … Expand

    Story

    Russia was targeted with atomic bombs, causing death & destruction which produced severe radiation across Moscow. This tragic event forced the survivors to live underground in the metro stations away from the deadly effects of radiation. Various species of the local wildlife were heavily mutated into aggressive beasts, resulting in any form of travel becoming a dangerous endeavour.

    20 years later, the year 2033 when the northern metro station known as "Exhibition" is attacked by mysterious creatures known as "Dark Ones", at only 20 years-old Artyom is persuaded to leave his home and attempt to solve the problem and discover why the mysterious creature attack happened and ultimately attempt to save the Metro.

    You are Artyom, moving through post-nuclear-apocalyptic Russia killing mutants with a varied arsenal of both fictitious & real weaponry. Various hostilities are present here, such as two opposing factions Stalinist Red Line and a Fourth Reich, mutants and of course the environment itself (e.g. Radiation / Weather effects), featuring radiation both underground and above ground plus the intense weather effects which have a great effect on the player if not approached with caution.

    Gameplay

    Gameplay wise it boils down too good first person action shooter with survival horror elements, features include the likes of; preserving ammo, utilizing stealth, observing your surroundings, gas mark wipes when your mask is either wet or dirty, Artyom will change the filter when breathing becomes troublesome as long as you have gas mask filters to spare!

    You have to scavenge around for ammunition, which not only acts as...well ammo for you're gun...(really!?) but also currency for buying pretty things. Vendors in the game are reached at the games "hub" areas and you can upgrade, buy new weapons and other useful supplies.

    Stealth plays a core mechanic too, so utilizing the dark can be advantageous to your overall survival. Some areas demand a stealth approach which can be irritating if it's not your thing (myself included) but also makes sense seeing as ammo is rather scarce and not to mention very beneficial to you for the sake of item preservation, so going all out Rambo may not be advisable.

    Spartan mode and Survival mode the former is more of an action orientated experience with the former having the player do more damage but the enemies hit harder too. The latter of the two being a more difficult experience, with ammo being even more scarce and enemies a lot tougher with longer weapon reload times thrown into the mix.

    Presentation

    Atmospheric and eerie with great overall visuals honestly, this all combined makes for the Metro games to be one of the most immersive and engaging FPS experiences, at least for myself anyway. Not much else to say with the visuals, they are excellent and much better than reading all of this text...So come on, Why aren't you playing it yet!?

    Audio

    Sound design is definitely on par with how the overall feel of a post-nuclear-apocalyptic Russia should sound. If the visuals didn't already sell you then the sounds of Metro will further immerse you into the world.

    Saying that however I do have one complaint about the sound effects and that would be the actual gun sounds, personally they don't sound like they should do, I don't know I just didn't feel like I was shooting a sub-machine gun. Or firing off a shotgun with authority, it just wasn't satisfying for me compared to say the gun sounds of Doom but it's okay because the enemy & environmental sounds are excellent indeed.

    Conclusion

    I suppose the question you're all asking yourself (well I'm assuming this is it anyway) is that if I already own the first two original versions of these games, is it worth buying the Redux versions? ...Well you have a re-mastered version with improved performance, solid 60fps and Metro 2033 is completely rebuilt with the Last Light engine so now both games look and feel the same where else Last Light improvements are mainly general tweaks in performance tweaks.

    The games are bundled with all DLC included in the purchase and various level transition enhancements to space out loading times for Metro 2033 were done much like they were present in Last Light. Also they have support for both Linux and Steam OS if you play on a PC. All of that sounds great I know, but honestly if you already own both original versions and DLC and have played them to completion then it's just not worth it.

    However the Redux versions of these titles are definitely the definitive versions of the game, so for anyone who doesn't already own the originals, just stop reading this and go buy them right now!

    Summary

    Pros:
    Immersive visuals
    Interesting plot, with books to back it up
    Challenging gameplay

    Cons:
    Weapon audio is a bit off
    Forced stealth areas
    Lacking replay value    … Expand

    The Good: Realistic and hard. Ammo is a limited resource, and used for currency (finally an apocalyptic currency that makes sense!).

This means no "peeking" around objects to get perfect shots. Stealth is the best way to take out as many as you can when they have guns, and crazy fleeing-for-your-life tactics are the best when faced with lots of mutants.

    The Bad: The story is completely trivial. Weird stuff happens, I thought it was building to some ultimate choice I'd have to make, but that never happened. Overall, the story didn't do anything for me. The enemies often made stupid mistakes like taking cover on my side of an object, thus giving me a perfect shot. Ammo is too scarce on the higher difficulties that I always play on. I'm not Rambo, preferring one-shot, one-kill tactics over spraying lead everywhere, and I still found myself running out against the mutant groups. Too many times I was forced to run for my life and reach the end of the zone. That happened twice, but only after dozens and dozens of deaths from simply being unable to fend off the amount of mutants with the ammo I had.

    This game is definitely worth a play-through if you can get it for cheap. I only paid a few dollars for it, so I don't regret it. Had I spent even $20 on it, I would be pretty annoyed.    … Expand

    Stealth in Metro is another level of enjoyable. Offing people one by one from the shadows with a fully pumped Tihar is just something else, man. And the way bullets impact bodies, enemies recoiling based on where they're shot at, falling down if they're hurt, pieces of armor breaking away, it's details like this that add weight to your weapons and make shooting feel all the more realistic and satisfying.

    Getting through the missions is just the right amount of challenging. Having to manage your ammo, making sure your flashlight is well lit, watching the timer on your gas mask and carefully blasting your shotgun at nosalises hoping you don't miss because you only have 3 more shells makes you feel very involved in the action.

    The only thing I can fault the game for is the mostly horrible voice acting because of which I really couldn't take the story seriously, but I didn't really distract from all the amazing stuff Metro offers.    … Expand

    As for the variations between the original and Redux versions, LL Redux as far as I could see when playing was almost identical to the original. However, Metro 2033 Redux offers noticeably greater visual fidelity and the gameplay has been overhauled, providing a similar user interface and mechanics as Last Light, and in doing so removing the somewhat broken stealth system in the original 2033. There are also some minor changes to the level design, voice acting, AI, cutscenes etc. that I thought were mostly improved from the original 2033, though some aspects such as quality of voice acting/character models are more subjective and you might've preferred the original version more.    … Expand

    Metro Redux, as a whole, is a solid story and unique story, a moving story and an important legacy in a narrative originality.

    Metro 2033 is a great videogame, one that tells a curiously original story thanks to the subway and that has a very successful atmosphere.

    Metro Last Light is a continuation of 2033 very successful, and exceeding 2033 in some aspects, but worse in others.
